Obs Studio not showing windows in Linux Mint 22.1.

[akshays]

Hello,

I recently did a clean install of Linux Mint 22.1, and since then Obs Studio has stopped showing me window-previews, helpful during meetings for window overlays(The reason primarily why I use Obs.). I have tried with and without wayland by switching during Login itself. I tried in Cinnamon and Kde, no luck.
I also tried running it as root. I installed via Github, apt, snap, still no change.

Obs version: 30.0.2

Startup log is more than 15000 chars, so had to move it to pastebin. https://pastebin.com/rkg6GacR
Screenshot attached.

Can someone please let me know. Kinda stuck here since 2 days.

Thank you. :-)

Your cropped screenshot cut off the button to do that: Studio Mode

Hi,

I am attaching a complete screenshot. Can you tell me if there is some specific option you are looking for.

Again, Studio Mode. There's a button right there. Bottom right...

Attaching new screenshots, I clicked on studio mode, selected the correct window. I also enabled Window preview. Thank you for your patience.

Screen recording works just fine, but i want to stream, not record. Typically overlay terminal on top of browser window. Worked before flawlessly. :-) My video also works fine, just windows are not getting shown.

No difference in processing. It just sends the end result to a server instead of a file. That's all. Give it the server that you want to use, and whatever other information the server wants to get from it, and you're good.
Settings -> Stream
If you have a choice, I use the stream key, not account. I've seen lots of reports of account features not working. The key can't even use those features at all, and I know that, so it greatly reduces frustration that way. I do the account stuff through the normal standalone web browser. *That* is logged into my account; OBS is not.

There are lots of threads to that effect. Have you looked through them? I don't have an answer myself, because mine "just works".
