ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have used the nightly version before. That one used to work, but doesn't anymore as well. This makes me think it might be a change in Plasma.

I'm having the same issue. I'm using xwaylandvideoridge from the Fedora Repositories, and before that I used a nightly Flatpak build. Neither of them work.
Comment 2 David Edmundson 2023-09-18 08:53:32 UTC
Something changed, and I believe this was fixed in master, but I can't know for sure. 

Do you know what version xwaylandvideoridge has the Fedora repositories?

Ah, seems to be a rather old version from May:
xwaylandvideobridge-0:0~git20230504.3445aff-2.fc38.x86_64
A more recent Flatpak build from gitlab CI works fine.
I guess Fedora just needs to update their package.

The latest version from the CI pipeline indeed works: https://invent.kde.org/system/xwaylandvideobridge/-/artifacts.

The bug was already reported on the Fedora side: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2223300. I have added a link to this thread as well. Just curious: is this package also released on Flathub? I can't seem to find it.

Not currently. I wanted to do so, just need to go through some admin
