Streams in Wayland Session not working

[ELT4N1N]

Hi together,

i can't open streams if Hypnotix is started in a Wayland session like sway.
A workaround for now is to force Hypnotix to use XWayland: env GDK_BACKEND=x11 hypnotix

Here is the error output:

  File "/usr/lib/hypnotix/hypnotix.py", line 1018, in on_mpv_drawing_area_realize

Confirming issue on Ubuntu 20.10

I can confirm this with EndeavourOS using gnome. When switching to xorg before logging on the program functions normally.

Another note when using EndeavourOS KDE the streams play normally without needing to change anything. I do not know if wayland is enabled by default in the KDE EndeavourOS though.

I did however get streams to play under wayland by running hypnotix with sudo but could not add another playlist. Maybe that info can be helpful.

Another confirmation of this issue with Gnome 3.38.2 under Arch Linux. When started under Wayland, the program fails zu start the stream.
