Sorry for the aweful video quality, I tried compressing with h265 but couldn't
get it to the limit of 4Kb, so used a online service
Currently if a video is playing on a different virtual desktop other than the
used is currently on, video playback will show up as choppy in various desktop
effects (overview, desktop grid, present windows).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a video on a virtual desktop.
2. Switch to a different virtual desktop (Don't move you video player on this
new desktop).
3. Activate any effects (overview, desktop gird, present windows)
4. Examine that video playback is choppy
OBSERVED RESULT
Choppy video playback
EXPECTED RESULT
Smooth video playback
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I am not a technical user, but I think the problem is not limited to videos
only, I think the problem is this effects can't properly render windows where
stuff is going on, for example Audio Visualizer or when a terminal is
continuously printing out large amount of output.
