Bug Report Arch Linux - black scene, unuseable

Firstly, let me thank all involved in this marvelous piece of sofware.

Unfortunately I am not able to run obs studio on my Arch Linux desktop, although it works fine on my laptop (also Arch). The issue is a black scene, even the sound mixer zone is all black. I can add objects (text, for example) but they are not displayed at all.
My desktop is a recent AMD setup (AMD Ryzen 5 3600, Radeon RX 580).

Attemps to run OBS from git, Snap and Flatpak versions all gave an identical result.

A detailed thread and description with log files etc. can be found here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1896039#p1896039

I filed a bug in the Arch bug tracker, but clues from the OBS experts are surely useful. Many thanks in advance for your kind help.
 
Most likely your desktop runs wayland. Probably a switch to a regular X11/Xorg session would help.
