Video Wallpaper bugged and not working

from Stardock Forums

Hello.

Since today i got a very weird bug with deskscapes 11. I bought a second monitor (both are the same) and now deskscapes doesn't work as intended anymore. Before today I was running a dual monitor setup with two different monitors - everything was fine and worked well. I've made a screenshot of my desktop wallpaper that shows the problem. I use videos for my live desktop.

Maybe someone could help me with the problem. Thanks in advance.

As you have mentioned you are using videos as your live wallpapers... Is the problem occuring with your videos only ? Or it's the same with downloaded Dreams too

Good that your issue got resolved... Might be a codec issue with the video that you were playing previously:grin:
