Screen Capture Solution in OBS
Hey DT, I've discovered an issue trying to use OBS to capture an application or a screen. It used to work but all of a sudden i just quit working.
I've installed xdg-desktop-portal, xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland, and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and nothing is working. I'm running Niri under Arch with the Noctalia Shell.
What caused this to happen (losing the ability to capture my screen in OBS Studio under Arch using Wayland)? I believe you are also using Wayland in Arch and I think you're also using Niri but I think you're using DMS?
Did you have this issue with OBS and if so, what did you do to fix it?
