Support Animated Background Videos as Seamless Visual Assets

[bhaskarjha-dev]

Feature Request

Currently, users can choose a static background image stored in the assets folder. Extend this capability by allowing users to select an animated short video as a background visual.

Requirements:

• Add support for video files in the assets folder as selectable Background Visuals.
• When a user selects a video asset, automatically detect its type and configure the corresponding OBS video source, similar to how images are handled now.
• The script should seamlessly switch between images and videos without requiring additional user configuration.
• Maintain one-click setup: if the user chooses a background video, all necessary OBS Studio configuration should be handled by the Lua script.
• Preserve zero-dependency design.

Benefits:

• Allows dynamic animated backgrounds to be set up as easily as static images.
• Lowers user friction for enhanced visual experience.
