            Bug ID: 483668
           Summary: Screen recording not working anywhere
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: thomas.garnier at totoshampoin.fr
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
In any software, be it OBS or WebRTC (Brave/Chrome) or even Spectacle, I just
cannot get a video capture of any screen or window. When Pipewire's selection
appears, all I see are icons instead of the contents.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a software, any that can watch the screen (let's say OBS)
2. Screencast either an app or a screen
3. Select one, and wait...

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens. No capture performed.
On OBS, not even a pixel appears, and the box stays 0x0.
On Brave, the cast just stops.
On Spectacle, the capture border remains, with the darker background around and
all, and I have to kill Spectacle's process to take it out.

EXPECTED RESULT
A screen capture.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.7.8-arch1-1.1-g14
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Here are the terminal outputs in OBS, Brave, and Spectacle:
