obs-studio rendering problem with wayland

I state that I have a powerful computer and that I have no problems with X11.
But when I enter wayland and record the screen with pipewire, I have rendering problems, I lose fps and record stutters.
I have an nvidia graphics card.

Re: obs-studio rendering problem with wayland

Likely unavoidable currently. Wayland by it's design prevents direct HW access for grabbing screen/window contents and pipewire doesn't implement relevant tooling to directly integrate with NVENC which would be needed for fast capture.

On a googler: https://github.com/nowrep/obs-vkcapture … me-capture seems to be your best bet.
