Desktop Effects

SUMMARY

Some effects in "Workspace Behavior" > "Desktop Effects" section of "System Settings" have a "Show/Hide Video" button, that appears on mouse hover. When you click this button, the effect expands/collapses. So, the expanded effect has a huge height, while it doesn't contain any additional content (I guess there should be a video with a preview of the effect).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Open "System Settings"
2. Go to "Workspace Behavior" > "Desktop Effects"
3. Hover over any effect (e.g. "Looking Glass"); a "Show/Hide Video" button appears
4. Click this button

Comment 1 Nate Graham 2020-10-16 15:06:43 UTC 
There should indeed be a video preview effect that shows up in that space. And while it's loading, there should be a progress spinner in its place to show you that something's happening. I see that in the KCM on my machine (built from source on top of openSUSE Tumbleweed).

I gather that's not what you're seeing. Do you recall it ever working, or is this a regression in Plasma 5.20?
Comment 2 popov895 2020-10-16 17:23:18 UTC 
I don't know if it has worked before, as I figured out that items can be expanded already in the Plasma 5.20. Just checked that openSUSE Tumbleweed shows a play button in that place (ffmpeg is not installed) but Neon shows nothing. Same on live image.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2020-10-16 19:56:56 UTC 
Huh. Taking a look at the code, if you don't see the loading indicator at all, that means that the video isn't loading. I wonder if this is a neon packaging bug then.

Can you see if you can file the video/multimedia related package in Neon that makes this feature work by installing it?
Comment 4 popov895 2020-10-16 21:18:52 UTC 
Installing package "gstreamer1.0-plugins-good" fixes the issue for me
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2020-10-16 21:32:41 UTC 
Excellent. Thanks so much.
