Firefox screensharing fails

[AFriemann]

Hey,

tried this with firefox and google meet just now and it doesn't seem to work.

I get a popup for screen/window/location selection but the screensharing just sort of "blocks" and nothing happens. Ran the small script in the Usage section to get some actual output and saw this error:

2022/12/13 19:38:33 [ERROR] - wlroots: no output / window found

that's the only output I managed to get, if you have any idea how to get something more useful I'd be happy to try!

[vaxerski]

yeah you're supposed to choose something from the popup. What do you choose? does output or window work?

Please attach a log from running XDPH with the -l DEBUG flag.

[AFriemann]

of course I am choosing something :) I tried with both a window and a monitor, same result on both. I'll try to run it with debug logs enabled later today!

here is the log output

looking at the error message, is it the wlroots version? community/wlroots 0.15.1-6

i'll try to upgrade that in a moment. Hyprland itself should be a pretty recent build but I'll also see if I can pull in the latest

yay -Ss hyprland | grep -i installed
aur/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland-git r224.3d3c5a4-2 (+2 1.83) (Installed: r246.9fb4fae-1)

old hyprland

[AFriemann]

I seee.. is it possible that yay gets confused by the version scheme? r2109 seems higher than r2042. I just assumed the "Installed" version was newer because yay -Syu didn't include it.

Any recommendation on how to stay updated there?

[vaxerski]

yay cannot fetch updates for -git packages. yay -S hyprland-git and select cleanbuild.

[AFriemann]

I see. Wonder if there's sth like smart-live-rebuild for arch.. sorry, I wasn't aware of that :) I seem to have another issue now but I'll try to make sure everything is up to date now and will get in touch if I can't figure it out myself. Thanks for the support!

[AFriemann]

It works! :D I thought I'd never see it happen. Thanks again!
