Unable to select display in sway

[aarRJaay]

The 'select display' button doesn't give a box to select my display - running waypaper-engine info produces

{
"action": "error",
"error": {
"error": {}
}
}

I'm able to manually select a wallpaper and display it - however, I'd really like to create a playlist and show randomly changing wallpaper please.

Thank you

RJ

do you have wlr-randr installed in your system? Looks like that may be the culprit if you're running the binary alone. Upon further checking the issue was on my part in the aur packages, for not specifying the wlr-randr package as a dependency (I used to package the binary directly but since some versions back im using the system defaults, and forgot to add the dependency in the aur package). I will update those shortly but in the meantime, install wlr-randr and it should fix your issue. Sorry for the inconveniences!

Thank you - that worked perfectly!!! I LOVE that I don't have to write a shell script to get my wallpapers - this is EXACTLY the application I've been looking for.
