The video wallpaper playback speeds up randomly and then goes back to normal speed after around 10 - 15 seconds. In particular, this seems to happen after you minimize/exit out of a maximized window, and it seems to be the most consistent with chromium and discord.

I'm using a RX 7800XT on cachyOS (an arch based distro), wayland session, and hardware decoding is working according to amdgpu_top. I'm pretty sure all required gstreamer packages are installed.

The video i'm using is webm encoded in vp9 and is around 130MB. Tried re-encoding it in both av1 and hevc using ffmpeg (somehow, reencoding it in av1 made it 4x bigger), but it doesn't seem to solve anything.

Can't reproduce with Intel iGPU / Nvidia GPU. I suspect this may be an AMD specific issue, probably related to #8

Please download the file below and run kpackagetool6 -t Plasma/Wallpaper -u plasma-smart-video-wallpaper-reborn-v0.2.1.zip, reboot/re-login and try with a single video first then multiple while journalctl -f > journal.txt is running.

Let me know if the issue persists and attach the journal.txt file.

- Switched to MediaPlayer, hopefully more stable and slighlty less GPU/Video decoding usage
- Show a placeholder message if there are no videos to play
