Wayland #952

Add Wayland Support, Please

DawoodMorris commented 2 years ago

Hi guys. I met the same problem after installing Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. SSR complained about Wayland and to that, the 'Select Rectangle' functionality was gone. After battling a lot, I came across this documentation: https://wiki.debian.org/Wayland. Somewhere on that page it says: "To use the X11 backend by default, uncomment the WaylandEnable=false line in the /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf file". So, on my machine that file did not exist, but instead, there was this file: /etc/gdm3/custom.conf. So I tried to uncomment the WaylandEnable=false line, restarted the machine, and tried to run SSR. It worked! The 'Select Rectangle' worked flawlessly. Hope it might help someone else.

Dup of https://github.com/MaartenBaert/ssr/issues/431, I would close this Issue in order to have a more cleaner proyect

I too would like to see SSR support Wayland but in the meantime you can use Kooha:

Note I had to change the default codec type to mkv to get it to work last time I tried it.
