Does not work with compton

[ExtraTNT]

first of all, the project is really nice, works even in a vm without problems...
but...
it does not work while compton is running.
since it hasn't commented anything in the code, i haven't figured out how it works... (well, i'm probably not very good in c...)
but i guess that it does not draw on the rootwindow...
if it would draw directly to the rootwindow it should work (I had a script which did exactly that and it worked -> but cpu on fire)

(i'm probably not very good in english to..., sry 4 that... xD)

my test-setup:

vm with 8gb ram and 16 threads (r9 3900x)
debian 10.5.0
linux 4.19.0-10
i3wm 4.16.1
compton 0.1~beta2+20150922
(wallpaper set with feh -> survives paperview)
make 4.2.1
xorg 1:7.7+19

Picom is also another manager that interferes with paperview.

As for the root window:

static Video Setup(void)
{
    Video self;
    self.x11d = XOpenDisplay(NULL);
    const Window x11w = RootWindow(self.x11d, DefaultScreen(self.x11d));
    SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
    self.window = SDL_CreateWindowFrom((void*) x11w);
    self.renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(self.window, -1, SDL_RENDERER_ACCELERATED | SDL_RENDERER_PRESENTVSYNC);
    return self;
}

An SDL_Renderer is created from an X11 Root Window. Sadly, it is beyond me why Picom and Compton do not work with paperview.

the script i had just changed the wallpaper every few ms with feh... you can ev find a solution there...

Have anyone found a solution for this?

I am running paperview and when I launch picom it just disables the animated wallpaper paperview created...
