Video buffers if on unfocused workspace

[analyticmind]

Swayfx Version:
Sway: version 0.3.2-26cdeeb
Distro: Arch
GPU: Intel integrated graphics Alder Lake UP3 GT2

• Description:
  Up until a few days ago, I wasn't using any hardware acceleration on my laptop (from sheer ignorance). Installed intel-media-driver (24.2.0-1) and libva-utils to make use of the integrated graphics and save a little on battery life. Haven't noticed any real difference, except that now, if I have a video playing on a different (unfocused) workspace, the video buffers, i.e. stops completely or stutters. This happens whether the video is on a browser, FreeTube, or mpv. Is this a Sway issue or is it a more general Wayland thing? Any help / tips appreciated!

Hey! You may want to see if the issue exists on vanilla sway. If so, that would be a more appropriate place to bring up this issue so that if it's a bug it can be fixed for a wide audience

And if not, it helps us narrow it down to a swayfx specific issue

Ok. Will do. Btw, do I have to close this issue in the meantime? (Excuse my ignorance.)

Feel free to close the issue if it's an upstream issue. If so also please link to it here in case anyone else comes across it. Thanks!
