Description matt.bagnara 2023-08-10 17:40:37 UTC
Screencasting is broken on:
xdg-desktop-portal-wlr-0.7.0-1.fc38.x86_64
wireplumber-0.4.14-1.fc38.x86_64
firefox-116.0-2.fc38.x86_64

I enabled verbosity on the xdg-desktop-portal-wlr service and using the https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/gum_test.html page in Firefox I attempt to start a screencast:

The following logs of the xdg-desktop-portal-wlr unit
