The response of OBS in Linux to display only mouse in Wayland environment

Source: Internet

This article was written in 2018-02-10. As of the end of this article, there is no known method to allow OBS to function properly in a Wayland environment.

Workaround
    • Discard the use of Wayland and switch to x Window
    • To record the screen on Wanyland, you can use Gnome's extended easyscreencast (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/690/easyscreencast/)
    • There are also some tools you can record on the Wayland screen, you can choose. Like Https://github.com/foss-project/green-recorder.
Reasons not to be used

The following finishing respective forum, does not represent my point of view

    • Wayland uses a sandbox-like mechanism to separate the display services for each application
    • Obs recording on X11 is the display data obtained directly to X11, Wayland does not provide the relevant interface
    • Obs very want to communicate with Wayland to solve this problem, but Wayland not actively
Possible workarounds

Workaround from Askubuntu: Adding an environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb might make him work.

After my testing, this method does not work for me, if you wish you could try.
