Basic screenshare python script results in green screen #39

Closed Quackdoc closed 7 months ago

Not really sure what is going on here. I currently uses a modified version of this script to handle various screencasting stuff. https://gitlab.gnome.org/-/snippets/19

However when this script is run it results in a green screen. as far as I know gstreamer should be able to handle format stuff. I have used this before in gnome without issues.

EDIT: this seems to only happen with xvimagesink, so I guess it's more likely to be a xwayland issue? Closing and moving to cosmic-comp

Any specific reason, why you need the xvimagesink instead e.g. the ximagesink or waylandsink. I am not sure how well the Xvideo extension works with Xwayland.

No other reason then that is what the script defaulted to, so no major one anyways and waylandsink will work fine for me. waylandsink and glimagesink can be a bit buggy at times, but it's reliable enough for my usecase. also for anyone coming across this you may need to use ... ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw ! waylandsink or you may not need to
