Hello there.
I am using xwinwrap to run a video as my wallpaper, but dwm keep showing it in the pager and the video only runs on one desktop.
I have no idea how to show the same video on all desktops.
Any help?

They aren't desktops.
I don't know how xwinwrap works, but from the way you describe it you would have to apply every tag to xwinwrap. That probably won't work well unless it is all you want to run...

Ah, the desktop-tag-thing.
So i must edit this?
static const Rule rules[] = {
/* class instance title tags mask isfloating monitor */
{ "Gimp", NULL, NULL, 0, True, -1 },
{ "Firefox", NULL, NULL, 1 << 8, False, -1 },
};
I moved to dwm recently, so i am dont know exactly how it works.
xwinwrap puts a window as wallpaper, something like that, or just leave the specified window borderless, sticky, unmovable, something like that. I use mplayer to run the video and xwinwrap puts it as wallpaper.
@ Off topic.

Yes, you will need a rule, but unless I am missing something, that won't really help.
dwm will still dynamically manage any other applications in that tag; and if xwinwrap is tagged with every tag...
FWIW: there isn't really much point using this application with dwm, as you hardly every see your wallpaper/background with dwm--that is how it is designed to work...

Hum.
I still want to try
How would be the rules?
static const Rule rules[] = {
/* class instance title tags mask isfloating monitor */
{ "Gimp", NULL, NULL, 0, True, -1 },
{ "Firefox", NULL, NULL, 1 << 8, False, -1 },
{ "xwinwrap", NULL, NULL, 1 << 9, False, -1 },
{ "mplayer", NULL, NULL, 1 << 9, False, -1 },
};
something like that?
OT: Cool history about your avatar :3
I asked because i am a speedcuber and it is cool to find people who also cube. Until now never found someone who use linux and solve rubik's cube.

No, I haven't used a cube since the '70s...

I remember reading something about getting xwinwrap to play nice with multiple monitors. Is that what you're trying to do? Or is it for switching workspaces on the same monitor?
