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:

6 It "works" - but it flashes a black screen occasionally....mixed feelings on this one.

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'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?

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.
