while running gnome on wayland if you try to open obs it crashes on start saying "could not find video input" and does not fully open

str:
1.) install wayland on gnome
2.) open obs (terminal or icon)
3.) Observe OBS operation

expect result: obs opens and is ready to broadcast or setup

actual result: obs opens a popup saying cannot find video input

user impact: users running on wayland display server cannot use obs at all

repro rate: 20/20 (100%)

I will be adding the console output when i get the chance along with video of occurrence
 
Additional info:
Works fine in X11

Seems related to some missing parameter needed in wayland GL initialization
Here comes an screen photo ( screen capture fails in most wayland apps )

XComposite screen/window capture is not available in Wayland, but any other issues should work
