Could you build this?
Partial Converting video wallpapers to MP4 or Lively is straightforward with ffmpeg, but Wallpaper Engine's proprietary .pkg and scene formats (scripted, shader-driven scenes) need reverse engineering that vibe coding won't reliably produce.
What it would actually take: Start with ffmpeg for video-type wallpapers and a web or desktop UI for batch conversion. The hard part is parsing Wallpaper Engine's undocumented .pkg and project JSON formats and, for scene wallpapers, reproducing its rendering pipeline. That takes file-format reverse engineering and some graphics knowledge.
