Unable to record screen #61

Closed rombert closed 4 years ago

rombert commented 4 years ago

I am trying out OBS and I tried adding a desktop source. All I got was a black rectangle with a red border. I tried capturing using the webcam and that worked.

I am running openSUSE Tumbleweed, Gnome 3.34.4/Xorg, NVidia proprietary driver 440.64 .

I've attached the terminal log, in case it provides some useful information: obs.log.

Which source type? Since you are on Xorg you can just use the XSHM one.

rombert commented 4 years ago

@TingPing - I was trying the Desktop Screencast (Wayland / X11) source. That one is nicer for me since it allows me to capture specific windows. Not sure if there are any other differences I should consider, as I'm just starting to look into OBS.

That is what Window Capture (XComposite) does.

Anyway your issue is likely that your xdg-desktop-portal-gtk is too old for Desktop Screencast, but since you are on X11 you can just use the other sources.

True, thank you for your help.
