Obs and Wayland. Only streams black screens and mouse

MoonBurst · 2023-06-18 01:55:40

Obs when trying to stream fails to show anything. I'm fairly sure it's an xdg-desktop-portal issue, that my compositor isn't actually reading the portal, but I'm in part guessing.

I've tried assorted QT_QPA_PLATFORMs, and found an assortment of "use xdg-desktop-portal$wlr/kde/gnome/etc", along with suggests to remove wireplumber or to replace it with other options. But to simply put it... I'm kind of lost here. Anyone who might be able to point me in the right direction would be a huge help!

Not exactly, I myself switched from sway to hyprland-nvidia from the AUR and it seemed to fix. But as far as sway goes? I have no idea why it was happening.

A few months ago a had to use Sway because my new 7900 XTX was too new for everything else. The way I found to use OBS to capture the screen was to install the AUR package "wlrobs" which provided some additional options that worked. Also, I'm noticing a few mentions of Xcomposite in the first logs, which would be for Xorg obviously.
