When you change the refresh rate via KDE/Plasma settings, the change will update the editor, but it will not automatically signal all running applications to recheck the setting. The default behavior of SVP will probably be to leave it at the original value until it is manually restarted. I think you should create a mechanism that both triggers the display change and notifies SVP.
