Unable to screenshare on Hyprland

Been trying to fix this for a few days now, had it fixed yesterday but now it's broken again. Whenever I try to screenshare in both Discord and Vesktop it doesn't work, and OBS is missing the Screen Capture (Pipewire) source option.

Vesktop when run through the console (vesktop command with it installed from the AUR via vesktop-bin)

Checking for update
Vesktop v1.5.5

I would show what Discord outputs in the terminal but it's both very full and doesn't print anything when I click the screen share button.

OBS when loading (Also doesn't print anything when I try to add a source, but there's things in here that I think are relevant)

Re: Unable to screenshare on Hyprland

Just to clarify: do you have xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland installed?

Because those lines:

[72078:0309/120913.389218:ERROR:screen_capture_portal_interface.cc(78)] Failed to request the session subscription.
[72078:0309/120913.389236:ERROR:base_capturer_pipewire.cc(81)] ScreenCastPortal failed: 3
Error during screenshare picker Failed to get sources.

Sound like there is no backend to xdg-desktop-portal installed.

Pacman -Ss doesn't search your local database, it searches the server's database. what you're looking for is "pacman -Qs"

Re: Unable to screenshare on Hyprland

Yes to do that screenshare works you need to install xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland. If you don't have installed you need to do it

Re: Unable to screenshare on Hyprland

pacman -Ss does say if a package is installed or not (The [installed] bit after the package name), but running pacman -Qs xdg-desktop-portal gives me xdg-desktop-portal, xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland, and xdg-desktop-portal-kde (I've also got KDE installed for the occasions I need it)

local/xdg-desktop-portal 1.20.0-1
