Hi 3ximus, when I start a xession by startx and use sddm-greeter --test-mode --theme aerial, the video file works fine and correctly as below.

2020-05-09-154722_1920x1080_scrot

But if I enable sddm.service and restart the machine, it just became the picture in directory: background.jpg

My /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup is below xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modsetting NVIDIA-0 xrandr --auto

I think the reason might be something about "systemctl enabled service" to support video but I can't found any relative answers

Appreciated if you can help

If it works in the preview it should work as a service, could the problem be the path to the videos? Did you download the videos or is it a url?

Hi 3ximus, so sorry to reply after such a long time.

These days I've actually tried a lot to fix this but eventually failed. So I decided to retern to simple startx to my dwm. But I'll still try when my code ability improve in the future

Thanks a lot. Yours.

I would start by checking the sddm logs to see if there is something there that might point you in the right direction
