xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland: Screen capture doesn't work in Chromium (negotiation errors from Pipewire)

Screen capture works perfectly in OBS and Firefox, but when I try to screen capture in Chrome, Chromium or Vivaldi (so apparently any Chromium based application) then I just get a loading spinner that never resolves.

Meanwhile, Pipewire prints this error:

pw.link: (37.0 -> 40.0) negotiating -> error (no more input formats)

(Copied from journalctl --user --user-unit pipewire.service -f)

I spotted the words “framerate” and “maxFramerate” in the error message, so I thought perhaps my 240hz monitor was the culprit. I reduced my framerate to 60, restarted xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland, xdg-desktop-portal and pipewire, but I still got the exact same error.

should work after c0e233955568fbea4e859336f6d3d14d51294d7c

one solution to this would be to stop using poo poo browsers.

Still having this issue running the latest release: xdg-desktop-portal 1.16.0-1 xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland 0.3.1-1 wireplumber 0.4.14-1 pipewire 1:0.3.70-1 google-chrome-beta 114.0.5735.26-1 slack-desktop 4.32.122-1

Verified that services are running without startup errors, that I don’t have any conflicting xdg-desktop-portal-* packages and that apps are running on wayland.

The <WpPortalPermissionStorePlugin:0x55f5181f02e0> Failed to call Lookup: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.portal.Error.NotFound: No entry for camera warning happends for me when running OBS as well (where recording works), so it’s probably not related.

Running xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland in debug mode while screen sharing through https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/gum_test.html I get the following output:

For me, screensharing seems to work again in Electron-based applications and Firefox.

should work after c0e2339

I’ve been able to make it work on chronium using xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland-git (AUR). Color needs to be setted to 8 bits
monitor = $screen1,3840x2160@60,0x0,1,bitdepth,8
10 bit is expected to not work correctly at the moment on xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland or in xdg-desktop-portal-wlr (sway)

Proof. Also tested on Google Meet and Zoom (web version) and works as expected.

This doesn’t seem to change anything for me, unfortunately.

done

@Hubro I do not have a link. My work colleagues running Sway with xdg-desktop-portal-wlr 0.6 had the same problem with Chromium as xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland has. Apparently after the release 0.7 of xdg-desktop-portal-wlr Chromium started to work again. But again, this is only what has been told to me by one, two colleagues.

xdg-desktop-portal-wlr apparently fixed the problem in Sway.
