When using Hyprland (v0.54.3) images don't render, instead, a solid color from the image shows up instead of it or just a black screen. However, videos work without any issue.

Image that should show up What shows up

So when I'm either using crop or stretch I get the solid color, however using center gives me just a black screen. The logs don't show anything wrong either.

Both videos and images render properly on KDE Plasma so Im thinking this has something to do with Hyprland's SDL2 renderer, specifically the SDL_RenderCopy
