Resolution cropping does not work with screen sharing #9523

Open smcgu opened 2 weeks ago

smcgu commented 2 weeks ago

Problem

Requesting a smaller screen resolution fails to crop the screen video stream. The screenshare will stream at the desktop's normal resolution. The desire is to share a cropped version of the desktop screen to reduce whitespace and improve visibility to stream recipients on the conference call.

Example trying to screenshare at cropped 1920x1080:

$ qubes-video-companion screenshare --resolution=1920×1080x30

(screenshare.py:3217): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 11:22:12.244: gdk_window_thaw_toplevel_updates: assertion 'window->update_and_descendants_freeze_count > 0' failed

This is expected, the resolution option is intended for webcam target only. The missing part is refusing this option for screenshare action...
