Video Guide
Lively can play any video files as system wallpaper.
Windows N/KN/Education systems require installation of additional codecs for video playback.
Currently lively supports these videoplayers for wallpaper:
- Mpv
- Vlc
- libMPV
- libVLC
- Windows Media Foundation (wmf)
In settings videoplayer can be switched realtime during playback.
This is the default and recommended player; uses the official mpv player build.
Custom configuration file can be used, create file
<Lively install location>\plugins\mpv\portable_config\mpv.conf
and follow the manual for mpv commands.
It is also possible to implement Lively Properties for real-time customisation (documentation will be updated with more information in the future.)
Default LivelyProperty is used if no user defined one is present in the wallpaper media folder:
{

"max": 100,
"min": -100,
"tick": 200,
"text": "Saturation",
"type": "slider",
"value": 0
},
"hue": {
"max": 100,
"min": -100,
"tick": 200,
"text": "Hue",
"type": "slider",

}
}
Uses official vlc player build.
Still under development.
Uses mpv player engine.
libMPV (External) means the player is a separate program controlled by lively.
Custom mpv configuration file can be used by creating the file in:
C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Lively Wallpaper\mpv\mpv.conf
Also supports Lively Properties similar to mpv player.
Uses vlc player engine.
libVLC (External) means the player is a separate program controlled by lively.
Lively dose not include this player plugin by default, separate download is required:
- Download libVLCPlayer.zip from latest release.
- Make new folder
<Lively install location>\plugins\libVLCPlayer
and extract the zip contents. - Switch videoplayer to libVLC or libVLC(External) in Lively settings -> Wallpapers -> Video Player.
Use built in windows video player.
Not recommended due to being limited features and not updated.
