[BUG] OBS fail to load `Screen Capture` option in Sources

[ApexGP]

• With xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland installed and configured, there is still no option for Screen Capture

• However, after I modify the config.fish of command to invoke Hyprland, obs-studio manages to be able to record.

# Auto-start Hyprland on TTY1
if status is-login && test (tty) = /dev/tty1
    # exec Hyprland
    dbus-run-session Hyprland
end

• What makes me confused is that after I change back to way to start Hyprland, the Screen Capture option(Desktop) remains unavailable and out of touch. Just like in the screenshot above, with option staying red.
• Besides, changing the command to dbus-run-session Hyprland is not a stable method since it will lead to serveral collapse pf hyprland like cannot initialize muxer.

I haven't had any issues with this at all, using Screen Capture (PipeWire) I can capture all 4 monitors perfectly fine (using 4 capture sources).

"With xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland installed and configured, there is still no option for Screen Capture"

I didnt install anything after fresh install (from ISO)... just obs-studio from pacman and worked oob.

Im on AMD cards/pc if that makes any difference...

Well, I install the ArchRiot on my old laptop 😂:

Should be fixed in 3.5+

After I upgrade ArchRiot, I reinstall obs-studio. But still, there is not any option for screen capture in Sources. With my hyprland.conf as follows:

[surtarso]

can you supply these plz

busctl --user tree org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop

busctl --user list | grep portal

ps aux | grep xdg-desktop-portal

journalctl --user -u xdg-desktop-portal -f

I don't think you should be (re) loading the portal there. I may be wrong.

After I upgrade ArchRiot, I reinstall obs-studio. But still, there is not any option for screen capture in Sources. With my hyprland.conf as follows:

any particular reason you removed the default startup and added these 3 lines (the last 3 ones)?

Im using stock hyprland.conf and I don't need to start those manually at all:

fcitx5 is set by default by the way.

Actually not, just added several lines following by the guide here. For head -50 of my hyprland.conf as follows:
