Wallpaper Per Display Playlist

[greekmythguy]

Is there currently a way to have a playlist cycle through different images per display?

For example, I just made some playlists however when I start one it sets both monitors to the same image. Ideally I would like if it always shows different images on each monitor but continues to cycle though the playlist set.

Thanks!

You need to copy the playlist to the other monitor and run it separately so both monitors choose different wallpapers. You can either use the save/load buttons in the playlist section or right click the monitor with the playlist and choose "copy to".

Would you be able to expand on this? I'm having trouble figuring it out.

Question One:

If I have one playlist with a plethora of images, how do I copy it between displays so that each display cycles thought he playlist but shows a different image?

What I have tried doing is:
-create the playlist
-select/start the playlist from the taskbar icon
(it now shows the same image across all screens regardless of if the program was previously set to have one wallpaper per display)
-I now open the wallpaper menu and select "copy to" to copy the playlist to another monitor
(at this point the 'chose display menu' is showing my previous wallpaper not the playlist and selecting 'copy to' does nothing)


............................
Question Two:

If I create 3 playlists (one for each monitor) how would I get them to all run independently? Is this possible?

My main goal here is to have a set of 6 images (two per display). 00:00 - 12:00 they will all show the first image and 12:01 - 23:59 they will all show the second image.

I really appreciate the help and development if you start some sort of Patreon for this I'll subscribe

Like two different playlists or the same playlist just different images on each monitor?

I have the latter going on. I think I got it to do that on accident by clicking on a different wallpaper in the playlist for one monitor.

Have you perhaps enabled the option "always start with the first wallpaper" in the playlist settings?

This is disabled by default and so it should pick a random wallpaper when the program starts, but perhaps you enabled it so this is why it's not working how I would expect it to.

If you want to synchronize them to the time, you can choose the "time of day" mode in the playlist settings.

I sort of figured out how do do what I wanted using Profiles but thank you!

Old thread but I've been use WE a while and I still had some trouble figuring this out.

You have to create a single playlist or separate playlists for each monitor. Save the playlist.

Then in the top left of the WE UI under "Choose Monitor" you choose the first monitor. Load the playlist. Then choose the second monitor, and load the playlist etc.

A little annoying if you're using the same playlist for all monitors. If you add wallpapers to the playlist or change the timer settings you have to reload the playlist on each monitor. "Profiles" may handle this better, but I haven't tried to use it yet.
