OBS SCREEN RECORDING TESTS:



FlatPak

KDE PLASMA - X11
OBS - Screen Capture (XSHM)

GNOME - WAYLAND:

RESULT:

OBS Sees the screen contents for all screens/monitors
Recording: Successful recording and playback of recording



KDE PLASMA - WAYLAND - NEW USER ACCOUNT:

The "Choose which screens to share with OBS Studio:"
window only shows generic template images representing
the monitors in front of the monitor Models

Both the properties window and main OBS screen display
black

All screens show black - unless i physically disconnect
my video card from my computer
In that case OBS successfully shows all connected
monitors

NOTE: Recently the 'PipeWire' option is missing from the OBS input options list on my less recent user account


**** OBS WILL RECORD ANY/ALL SCREENS/MONITORS FINE UNDER WAYLAND IF I DISCONNECT MY VIDEO CARD FROM MY PC ****

I don't understand any of that, but when I try to add a source that is a window capture or game cap, they aren't working. Black screens. Display cap works. Could this be related? I haven't found help anywhere. Running as admin, hi performance mode, gpu, etc. I've done the things that are in all the posts.
