yesterday I reinstalled my system and upgraded from Kubuntu 20.04.1 to Kubuntu 20.04.2 LTS.
After the installation, I installed the video wallpaper, as always ;D but this time it did not work, the video.mp4 was black :'( :'( :'(
So i updated QT and Gstreamer, installed a lot of packages but the video.mp4 remained black. I saw that the CPU was busy and the video was playing, but the screen remained black. I tried it with a .webm file and it worked.
I wonder what the problem could be, on the old system (20.04.1) everything worked fine, what has changed now?
Then I thought that the graphics driver could be wrong, so I downloaded and installed the latest AMD-GPU firmware from http://www.AMD.com and now everything works again.
The Ubuntu AMD-GPU firmware is faulty and the Gstreamer shows black picture when playing mp4 files.
Solution: Download the AMD-GPU firmware from http://www.AMD.com and install it (overwride all config files).

If mp4 doesn't work but other video formats do, it could be codec related. Can video players like Dragon Player or Kaffeine play them? This might be related to restricted formats too... some media packages need to be installed from external repositories to that of the Linux distribution (eg: Packman).

I also think you can check out this source https://wallpapercosmos.com/most-beautiful-women-wallpapers with a wide choice of high-quality desktop wallpapers. There are different topics, so I'm sure you'll find something for yourself.
