A common problem it seems. You can see the system info at the beginning of the included OBS log file. My capture card works fine and displays a preview correctly, but a pipewire window or screen capture just shows a black screen. It seems that xdg-desktop-portal is installed, along with the gtk and gnome backends. It looks like pipewire creates the stream without error and then pauses it for some reason also with no error. I may be overlooking some obvious thing, so any suggestions would be appreciated.Iâm not very smart sometimes
