Lucid Waters SDDM Theme Video Playlists

The current video of a peaceful waterfall is set to play on an infinite loop.

If you would like to modify this theme to add additional videos to the playlists. Videos are played randomly and diferent playlists are used based on time of day with day and night time playlists.

  • Day Time Playlist Automatically Plays between 5:00 AM - 5:00 PM.
  • Night Time Playlist Automatically Plays between 5:00 PM - 5:00 AM.

As of right now there is only 1 long format timelapse video for the playlist_day.m3u and playlist_night.m3u.

More videos will be added to the playlist in future version releases.

Developer Notes

There is an option to stream HD videos with a good internet connection if you would like to add remote video content in the future. If there is no active connection or the video can't be played the background will fallback to the image background.jpg

If you want to add and/or change the local videos files that came with this theme. Use the following command to generate the playlist-file (playlist_day.m3u or playlist_night.m3u) from a directory containing the new videos.

su
find path-to-your-directory -maxdepth 1 -type f > playlist-file-name
