I have an IP camera with a wide angle view that I would like to make my Xfce4 wallpaper.
I dont want to run a maximized browser but probably a MJPEG stream viewer like mplayer or mpv.
Has anyone done this before?
I have this as a reference:
We have streamlink and xwinwrap in ports along with mpv.
I have mplayer playing back the stream currently.
Any suggestions? The Linux tutorial above seems valid but it seems like too many components for this small task.

Video Livestream Wallpaper For Your GNOME, Xfce Or bspwm Desktop
This article explains how to use a livestream as a desktop wallpaper on GNOME, Xfce or bspwm with X11 (it does not work with Wayland). The live video stream can be any stream you like, as long as it's supported by Streamlink.
