[SOLVED] obs-studio doesn't show screen capture.

my first post in the community, hello everyone.
i have been trying to setup obs studio in my arch linux hyprland build.

at first it was blank screen with a cursor, with screen capture option showing up. then i went to wiki to find a solution to that, and they suggested installing qt6-wayland, which i did. i already had qt5-wayland before, some of my apps uses it. then it says to install the XDG-DESKTOP-PORTAL which i had not, and so i did. i installed xdg-desktop-portal-gtk.

Now after reload, the screen capture option is just not there at all. Below are some outputs and screenshot.

Re: [SOLVED] obs-studio doesn't show screen capture.

I solved it by removing all the things I installed for obs, and then installed amf-amdgpu-pro.
and I also installed obs-studio-liberty instead. (I have amd processor)

then idk if restart fixed it or it was obs-studio-liberty, but one of them did the job.

also the black screen problem was not there, as soon as I installed xdg-desktop-portal and one of its backend (xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland)

now everything is looking alright with obs studio.
