SUMMARY
OBS SCREEN RECORDING TESTS:



FlatPak
OBS VERSION: 29.1.3



KDE PLASMA - X11
OBS - Screen Capture (XSHM)

GNOME - WAYLAND:

RESULT:

OBS Sees the screen contents for all screens/monitors
Recording: Successful recording and playback of recording



KDE PLASMA - WAYLAND - NEW USER ACCOUNT:

The "Choose which screens to share with OBS Studio:"
window only shows generic template images representing
the monitors in front of the monitor Models

Both the properties window and main OBS screen display
black

All screens/monitors for OBS show black - unless i physically disconnect
my video card from my computer
In that case OBS successfully shows all connected monitors

NOTE: Recently the 'PipeWire' option is missing from the OBS input options list on my less recent user account


**** OBS WILL RECORD ANY/ALL SCREENS/MONITORS FINE UNDERWAYLAND IF I DISCONNECT MY VIDEO CARD FROM MY PC ****
