Will "video" type wallpapers work if the path is not correct?

Lol no, no wallpaper can work if path is incorrect.

You should copy the required video wallpaper to ~/Videos or say, Desktop and then choose it as wallpaper.

Also, can you please tell us what exactly are you trying to do, if the above thing doesn't work for you?

I installed Wallpaper engine with proton and now there is no problem. Settings - > Steam Play -> Check 'Enable Steam Play for all other Title', then select the last version of proton. Press 'Ok' button, restart your steam and there you go, you are now enabled to install wallpaper engine.

(I don't know if this feature has on every single linux version. but on ubuntu it works well.)
