Screen recording not working when compositor is on. It only records a loop of 2 frames however my mouse is tracked. Have tried OBS, SimpleScreenRecorder and Kazam but all have same problem. I would like screen recording to work with compositor turned on please. Plasma/EndeavourOS/All Up to Date
Are you using Wayland or X11?
Created attachment 153394 [details] attachment-27896-0.html X11. OBS refuses to open in Wayland for some reason. I can attempt to send you a screen recording with the compositor enabled if you like.

On X11, KWin shouldn't be involved here; apps talk directly to the X server. Are you using any 3rd-party KWin scripts or effects? I wonder if one of them is breaking this, and turning off compositing also happens to turn them off too, making it work again.
I don't think so as I haven't messed around with the settings (apart from theming and latte dock). I don't think any of those are the issue because I tried OBS on an account which is absolutely stock and the issue remains. I can send in a recording if you like.

Yes please!

In the video you can see OBS isn't being updated with whats going on in the screen at all. You can see that only the cursor is being recorded but not whats actually going on. I haven't explained it well but the video shows it all.

Because this is on X11, this is either a bug in OBS, or a bug in your window rules for it. Can you attach a screenshot of your window rules for it? And also try again with no OBS-specific window rules?
Created attachment 153588 [details] Screenshot_20221108_154459.png I have reinstalled EndeavourOS about 5 times but the issue remains every single time. I haven't really messed around with window rules or special application rules (apart from force block compositing recently).

That window rule is turning *off* compositing for OBS. Are you saying that this is required for it to work? Or this is what breaks it? Also, did you move OBS's window to a different virtual desktop? If so, it could be Bug 456280.
Created attachment 153633 [details] attachment-4171-0.html Yes, turning off compositing is required for it to work. And no, I didn't move it into another virtual desktop.

Ok, thanks.
