OBS studio not working in pipewire with wireplumber in Plasma.

OBS studio after installing the base package works in Xorg mode which somehow only appears in sudo. I use Plasma

But when running screen/window capture in pipewire it doesn't work. I've got all the libraries installed.

that is, xdg portals kde(including user-dirs, and xdg-utils)
qt6-wayland
intel-media-sdk for quick sync.
Anything else I missed?

When I run with sudo, it's like this:
I tested for a while and played around with XHSM(not sure if I spelled that right) recording before trying to use pipewire.

Can anyone help me with this and explain anything I did wrong. I already searched up the arch wiki for this too.
I also use wireplumber instead of pipewire-media-session. I've read some users got success with pipewire due to that, but I don't want to use it because it's deprecated.


Not sure if it leads to anything but I also remembered that I'm not in the video group. Do I have to add myself for this to work?
Many thanks for your help.

Can you run in a terminal:
Code: [Select]
env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY obs

It should force Xorg mode without root.

This won't let you screencap native Wayland apps though. We need to know how Pipewire is set up on your machine; it seems it's a bit funky with KDE Plasma and requires some specific ordering to work correctly.

What guides did you follow? Have you set up artix-pipewire-launcher to run upon startup?

See this topic: https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,6622.msg40376.html#msg40376

@capezotte I just tried your suggestion. It didn't work..

Here's the log.

Try env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 obs

(forgot the XDG_SESSION_TYPE bit)

Re: OBS studio not working in pipewire with wireplumber in Plasma.

@capezotte I tried the env variable and yes now Window cpature Xcomposite and XSHM Screen capture are there and it's working. By working I mean the obs screen mirroring several times is shown, I have no idea how to make it record to the outside screen and apps which probably won't because I don't use x11 in the first place.  But since this is only running on X11 how do you make it run through wayland? And pipewire?

Also screen capture XSHM only shows my cursor and ablack screen but window capture Xcomposite works.

Also, there's an artix package for pipewire? Wow.
But I don't use it and instead my pipewire.conf is like this, with `pipwire &` as an autostart command:

Code: [Select]
context.exec = [
    { path = "/usr/bin/wireplumber" args = "" }
    { path = "/usr/bin/pipewire" args = "-c pipewire-pulse.conf"}
    #  condition = [ { exec.pipewire-pulse = null } { exec.pipewire-pulse = true } ] }
]

Is this okay? Or should I install the package?

Re: OBS studio not working in pipewire with wireplumber in Plasma.

Reply #6 –
@capezotte  Don't know if you remember this thread still, but I fixed the problem by following this thread's solution

Unfortunately it didn't work fully although it does solve obs's screen sharing problem. Pipewire crashed while running obs and closing it and obs would get stuck while running it in console. However I fixed it myself via editing /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf(copy from /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf if not found) in the last section:

Code: [Select]
context.exec = [
	
    #{   path = <program-name>
    #    ( args = "<arguments>" )
    #    ( condition = [ { <key> = <value> ... } ... ] )
    #}
    #
    # Execute the given program with arguments.
    # If condition is given, the program is executed only when the context
    # properties all match the match rules.
    #
    # You can optionally start the session manager here,
    # but it is better to start it as a systemd service.
    # Run the session manager with -h for options.
    #
    #{ path = "/usr/bin/pipewire-media-session" args = ""
    #  condition = [ { exec.session-manager = null } { exec.session-manager = true } ] }
    #
    # You can optionally start the pulseaudio-server here as well
    # but it is better to start it as a systemd service.
    # It can be interesting to start another daemon here that listens
    # on another address with the -a option (eg. -a tcp:4713).
    #
    { path = "/usr/bin/pipewire-pulse" args = ""}
    #{ path = "/usr/bin/wireplumber" args = "" }
   # { path = "/usr/bin/pipewire" args = "-c pipewire-pulse.conf"
    condition = [ { exec.pipewire-pulse = null } { exec.pipewire-pulse = true } ] }
]

Marking as solved..
EDIT!(7/4/2024)= adding in some changes to the last two lines, because I saw two instances of pipewire happening once, looking into properties, one was "sleeping" and was executed from the last second argument, and the other was from the "pipewire &" startup script I wrote, which was active. With this change, that hopefully no longer happens. Even though it didn't happen with the line uncommented, ever. Probably a rare occurrence, but that shouldn't ever happen.  Although, I don't know if one can make use of the condition rule there. I don't understand what it does.
