Unplugging/Plugging eGPU causing video wallpaper to silently crash
Describe the bug When plugging in or unplugging my eGPU, the wallpaper engine crashes. I have tried to stop this by forcing the program to use my iGPU because that never stops operation.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Plug in eGPU
- Start video wallpaper
- Unplug eGPU
- The video wallpaper should stop/crash/end with no apparent error on the user-end
Expected behavior The video wallpaper continues playing, recovers, or restarts.
Screenshots/Video N/A
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: Windows 11 22H2 Build, 22621.2428
- Video wallpaper
- Thunderbolt 4 eGPU (Razer Chroma, 3070)
Additional context ~~The application itself doesn't crash, only the engine driving the wallpaper. Reselecting the wallpaper resets it with no app or computer restarts needed.~~ It actually does require an app restart, must have been a fluke that one time.

Does it still crash with GPU Decode disabled? (Settings -> Wallpaper -> Video Player.)

GPU Decodedisabled? (Settings -> Wallpaper -> Video Player.)
Yes it does, I also tried just unplugging a monitor and it happens too, I have a 2 monitor setup. Seems it's not related to disconnecting a display adapter. Also, it's now requiring me to restart the app before working again.
If I may add to this, I am experiencing the same bug, except it happens whenever I run any fullscreen game. I've tried Skyrim and Cricket 07 before writing this, and produces the same issue. Wallpaper pauses and won't start again till I have closed and restarted Lively. I tried disabling GPU Decode as mentioned here, but it still happens.
Running fullscreen has this issue on Windows 22H2 https://github.com/rocksdanister/lively/issues/1926
