image: add reload options

[bvr-yr]

close #225

• reload_time - interval in secs to reload, if 0 can be reloaded with SIGUSR2
• reload_cmd - command to obtain new path, if empty reuse default one

not sure with option names (as always)

considering that only png is supported, I guess main usecase should be converting and then killall -USR2 in script, if album arts for example

reload.mp4

how to this visualizer in hyprlock

[bvr-yr]

nohow, it's processed cava raw output, you can check this python example

particularly what you see on video, is futher processing of array (bar lengths) to print | character

I only need cava when run music and also need hide the all things when music run only see the art and cava

Add this time my lock see this type

you need a wrapper script that will launch hyprlock with different config when something is playing, like

#!/usr/bin/bash

if [[ $(playerctl status) == Playing ]]; then
    hyprlock --config ~/.config/hypr/music.conf
else
    hyprlock
fi

as for cava, I suggest using Shape widget with xray = true and launching cava before hyprlock, see #266

[mahaveergurjar]

Please Can you send music.conf with cava

[bvr-yr]

just use Shape with same size and position you will launch cava at, nothing special
except Y position is bottom-based in hyplock config

for example, 1920x1080 monitor:

hyprctl dispatch -- exec "[float; size 600 200; move 660 740; noborder; noshadow; rounding 0] SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER=1 cava"

before launching hyprlock, and

shape {
    size = 600, 200
    position = 660, 140
    halign = none
    valign = none
    xray = true
}

I also suggest setting method = sdl_glsl in output section of cava's config
