obs-gnome-screencast - Facilitate GNOME Screen Cast functionality as an OBS source (supports Wayland)

Small source plugin to use GNOME Screen Cast functionality as a source for OBS Studio.

GNOME Screen Cast works for all GNOME sessions regardless of the compositor being used. Basically saying that the main purpose of this plugin is to capture screens under Wayland sessions where the X11 capture falls short.

This is like the first attempt to make something work for a Wayland session. This is super alpha and it may fail miserably in countless ways....

Tuna updated obs-gnome-screencast with a new update entry:

Allow capture of the complete desktop

- Added option to capture all screens at once (may be helpful for multi monitor setups as you can only have one instance of a GNOME capture session)

0.1.2

  • create own thread with it's own main loop. let us not assume OBS comes with one, and if it does, try not to interfere with it.
  • always copy the video buffer. this comes with a performance penalty, but pipewire versions >= 0.21 seem to have issue if we don't.
  • don't leak the bus watch handle. this could have led to "too many files open" error in case of many stop/starts.
