Hi
I am trying to reccord gameplay from Silksong (using Eve Online here as a substitute because my son is playing silksong from my steam library currently :D)
Distribution is latest Debian 13, KDE wayland Desktop session.
The problem is as the subject says:
I have the following settings:
the rest is in the logfile https://obsproject.com/logs/L3TYwNNRWOhIBBZ9
What I would expect, is to have a resulting video file when recording that has the content at 2580x1080
what actually comes out is https://drive.proton.me/urls/QGMZYXRS8W#AsQB9uPVa6OJ
you can see the black bar on the right side, and the green line.
if you show the media info of the file, you get this :
as you can maybe see in this screenshot, the video source fills the whole canvas. (hard to see, but the log should show it too.)
full log (contains more earlier recordings, this is the same log with the last recording test ) https://obsproject.com/logs/xCncJtNr25kNIO9V
Can anyone help me with this? where is this extra space on the right side coming from?
why does the mediainfo show a "Original width : 2 624 pixels" and "Original height: 1 082 pixels"?
and what can i do to get a recording from a fullscreen game, with 3440x1440 native resolution, in a file that is 2580x1080?
Or failing that, how can i record a fullscreen game at 3440x1440 and get any result without extra blank space and green line?
feel free to request any additional information, i will try to provide it.
