OBS Studio (30.1.2) Window Capture (xcomposite) cannot see Chromium, but can see other apps (Raspberry Pi OS, Pi 5)

Hello everyone,

Huge fan of OBS Studio and have streamed with it in the past in different environments. This time, I am trying to stream Chromium on OBS and I'm having a hard time. It's displaying other apps (see screenshot) - but my main goal is to have it show my browser as I'm trying to live stream my browser window.

In the screenshot, Chromium is open behind OBS, not minimized (or maximized) in efforts to help it be recognized.

I'm running a Raspberry Pi 5 - 8gb ram - 256 gb Samsung EVO microSD - Stock Raspberry PI OS (x64), updated. OBS is 30.1.2 installed via Pi-Apps.

There isn't a whole lot of information out there on this specifc issue that I've been able to find, so I'm hoping to see if I can lean on your expertise as a community to help me resolve it.

Thanks!

Ps. If logs are needed, I'm not sure how to pull them - but if someone could let me know, I would be more than happy to do so.
