Hi, I have ported Smart video wallpaper plugin to Plasma 6. I have a Intel+NVIDIA GPU and it works fine with them.
But in some AMD GPUs it crashes plasmashell with both ffmpeg and gstreamer backend. Sometimes switching from ffmpeg to gstreamer fixes the crash but others doesn’t. Below are the logs I have received from some users of the plugin.
My question is, where should I report each of these issues? Are these logs even useful at all? I don’t have a AMD gpu to reproduce
Also, can someone with AMD GPU try the plugin (to recover from crashes run sed -i 's/^VideoUrls=.*$/VideoUrls=/g' $HOME/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc $HOME/.config/kscreenlockerrc
) and this test.qml and tell me if it also crashes? Would that mean this may not be a KDE but a Qt issue?
1. Crash with ffmpeg as qt media backend:

2. Crash with gstreamer backend:
3. Black screen with gstreamer as Qt Media backend with latest Neon stable:
Failed to initialize QMediaPlayer "Could not find the videoconvertscale GStreamer element"
This one seems to be a packaging issue for gstreamer1.0-plugins-base
as it should provide libgstvideoconvertscale.so but it doesnt for ubuntu older than lunar (23.04)
