[SOLVED] obs Studio works in Mageia Wayland

[canadaist]

Discovered there was no program that could capture video on wayland KDE, after some research and tests, the massive feature rich "OBS Studio" will work if you add environment variables.

Using CLI start OBS Studio with

Code: Select all

LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1  obs

Or edit KDE Menu item for OBS Studio to add

Code: Select all

LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1

to the Environment Variables: box in the OBS Studio item after choosing Edit Application, after right clicking the KDE Menu.

Works fine for capture screen actions, its too big a program, prefer the simplicity of Simple Screen Recorder, but its a no show on Wayland.

You may want to look at viewtopic.php?f=8&t=15150 which has some more alternatives for use under wayland.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Maybe I should add the OBS Studio info to that discussion, it works now, though the interface is feature rich complicated, and I await the simplicity of previous choices, still not yet working in Wayland.

vokoscreenNG doesn't record audio yet, and its interface is not yet stable on Wayland in my test (gstreamer1.0-pipewire is already installed). It calls Wayland support experimental and advises to log out and start X.org.
