Does screencasting work in obs-studio? No, it seems like that doesn't work either :( I get the dialogs to choose a window or a screen, and they have correct items, but then there's no image from them displayed in OBS. Can you maybe discuss this with your distribution? This is definitely meant to work with your hardware and setup. Something you can try as well is to run plasmashell or "plasmawindowed org.kde.plasma.taskmanager" from a terminal and see if you get debug information. Especially when it comes to pipewire. Logs coming from kwin_wayland would also be useful. You can generally find them in ~/.local/share/sddm/wayland-session.log This points to a distro PipeWire misconfiguration, yeah. That needs to be set up properly for both of those things to work. "plasmawindowed org.kde.plasma.taskmanager" prints the following on task hover: kf.plasma.quick: Couldn't create KWindowShadow for ToolTipDialog(0x55bb06a7bba0) QCoreApplication::postEvent: Unexpected null receiver Afterwards, moving the cursor over other tasks only prints the second line. ~/.local/share/sddm/wayland-session.log contains the same output. It turns out that I had the `wireplumber` systemd unit disabled for some reason (I normally use Pulseaudio). Enabling it fixed the issue: previews show up with a significant delay, but at least I have them now! Thanks, good to know. |
