Recording Tab Selection is now handled differently by browsers

[salbeira]

In the most recent chrome version on Windows I can only choose the current tab as a video stream source. There is no option to pick a different tab, window or screen.

In the most recent chrome version on Linux I can NOT choose the current tab as a video stream source. Everything BUT the current tab is an option.

Using the current develop branch.

EDIT: This even happens with the old 0.12 version.

Can anyone confirm this?

Seems like the newest browser versions are now enforcing some changes propsed last year:

The browser will, by default, hide the current tab from selection so that WebRTC applications do not have a "hall of mirrors" effect when opening the selecion interface. You need to specify "selfBrowserSurface: 'include'" in the getDisplayMedia()-options to have the current tab available for sharing.

In addition, "preferCurrentTab", under Windows, displays an entriely different interface that ONLY presents the current tab:

Should be fixed in master branch and develop branch. Could you please test it on Linux and Windows?

Someone please test this with the released v0.13.4 on Windows.

Tested on both Windows and Linux on both master and develop built from source. Also tested it with the executable inside the releases. I can select the decker-tab as a source (and have the usual selection of window and screen again) Closing the issue.
