Description:
*If you are using Plasma 5.26 download v0.3.1+ for anything before that use v0.3.0*

Plasma plugin to support GIF/MNG/WEBP animated images (based on QT AnimatedImage class).
Allow for blurring and control of the animation speed and day/night time shading.

You can encode videos to webp format using ffmpeg with the following command :

ffmpeg -i source_video_file -loop 0 target_video.webp


PLEASE NOTE : large animated image ( more then 50MB when uncompressed) will task the CPU.

Will this app have a version for plasma 6? My Garuda forced entry to plasma 6. But this add-on is more important to me than plasma 6. Now I'm unable to use it... 😐

dark-eye

I'll try but i don't have a plasma 6 desktop yet...

It works but my sound volume control acts all weird while using this. Most of the time it resets the sound level to previous level and sometime i can change volume. Any fix for this? I am using KDE 5.24 on pop-os.

dark-eye

Hey @hanzosull, This sounds weird can you open an issue at : https://github.com/dark-eye/com.darkeye.animatedImage/issues and paste a video of this issue? Thanks,

How do I install this? I'm new to KDE still.

Hey @greencode :) The simple way : -right click the KDE desktop , then go : "Configure Desktop and Wallpaper" -> Click "Get new plugins" -> search for "Animated Image Wallpaper" -> Click "Install" The terminal way : - Download the tar.gz file form the to right. - extract it someware with tar -xzf - run : plasmapkg2 --install - Enjoy :)

10 Awesome! Mind telling us where those wallpapers are from?

dark-eye

Thanks, Some of them is simply by search 'animated image' in duckduckgo but most of them are from here : https://livingstills.tumblr.com/ he has alot more works in his archive too.

8 Great, but IDK if it's using too much CPU, currently hovering arround 5% on my stock ryzen 2600

dark-eye

Hey Yeah, currently there's no GPU acceleration so if you are using a big image/video it will not cache it to preserve memory this will lead to increase CPU usage. I think i`ll add a toggle in the configuration to allow you to forcefully cache any image.
