[Feature Request] Video support

[Axenide]

Hi, I'm working on a wallpaper system that supports video. Right now I made a script for taking the first frame of the video and passing it through Matugen.
I think that having this natively would be a great enhancement since a lot of people use mpvpaper and other live-wallpaper solutions. Just a suggestion.

Cheers.

GIF with swww?

@enessmr GIFs work, but having high-res live wallpapers as GIFs is resource hungry and most of the time they lack quality.

Unfortunately, yes youre correct. + most of the time theyre 10fps...

just use mpvpaper and yt-dlp, that's not hard to use.

@dot-1245 Of course. In my case I take the first frame using ffmpeg and use it to generate the colors. Works great.

This FR is more a suggestion than something necessary, as it would simplify the usage for less experienced users that don't make scripts.
