I'm setting up a timed wallpaper in GNOME, but when duration is configured to be 1 second, or use additional software to play videos or GIFs on the desktop. I'm keen to get the best results I can without additional software. 2. Read the documentation, but GNOME doesn't have much for timed wallpapers, just normal wallpapers, which isn't helpful. ([Desktop Wallpaper](https://help.gnome.org/users/gthumb/stable/gthumb-desktop-wallpaper.html.en) , [Add extra backgrounds](https://help.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/backgrounds-extra.html.en)) 3. I have been unable to find a generic setting related to the wallpaper or desktop update frequency. ##### My Files ###### ~/Pictures/W6cMZ6wfCjk/live-wallpaper.xml
