Description: Wallpaper plugin that lets you set a video or playlist as your background. It was inspired by a script created by Genjix but the code was rewritten by me:
Hello everyone, everything good?
I need help, after some updates the plugin no longer works, it starts the video and after a few seconds it freezes, and even after restarting plasmashell and removing the caches the problem persists, I love this plugin and used it as default but now it is unusable . Could someone experienced help me solve this problem?
I thank you in advance.
It`s nice, easy to use, but would like to know how to edit it to pause the video on the screen, when an app is in fullscreen or is ocupying that whole screen
I've had mixed results with this plugin. It also tends to use a lot of resources and has no controls. If you open a fullscreen browser window and enable "More Actions -> Keep Below Others" then you can just have Netflix or whatever streaming site of your choice as a background window and you can still click controls.
Hi. I think you can install it from the desktop containment settings (eg: where you pick your wallpaper). You should see a button saying "get new plugins"; Look for this there and it should let you install it.
Thank you! That's likely an internal bug with Qt: The plugin itself is very simple and only spawns the builtin QML player with the video / playlist link it expects.

Probably not trivial, but if it had the option to pause playback when running on battery would be a great improvement IMO.
9 The best from the ones I've tested
10 Incredible!!! Any possibility to add funktion "select multiple wallpapers" and change them automaticly everery 15 minutes, half hour or whatever?
6 It "works" - but it flashes a black screen occasionally....mixed feelings on this one.

Hi, I'd like to try this, but I'm a newb. How does one go about using it? I mean what do you do with the zipfile once its downloaded?

Can you link to the source code?
The source code is part of the download. It's written directly in qml, not compiled from a separate source.
10 Great plugin
