Screensharing doesn't work on wayland

Think this is a duplicate of #2, I'm using solely X11 and screensharing has this same bug: #71 (comment)

Can anybody repro this outside of hyprland?

• CachyOS
• xdg-desktop-portal-kde 6.5.5-1.1
• pipewire

@Estyms how did you compile refactor? electron:compile was removed from fluxer_app/package.json so i have no idea how =.=

banner: {
    js: `import { createRequire } from 'module'; const require = createRequire(import.meta.url);`,
},

> @Estyms how did you compile refactor? electron:compile was removed from fluxer_app/package.json so i have no idea how =.= npx electron-builder --config electron-builder.config.cjs -l in fluxer_desktop HOWEVER, you need to remove : banner: { js: import { createRequire } from 'module'; const require = createRequire(import.meta.url);, }, from scripts/build.mjs at line 85 as well as the entire desktop property in electron-builder.config.cjs at line 148

pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm set-channel
pnpm build
pnpm exec electron-builder --config electron-builder.config.cjs --linux

Can confirm it doesn't work in niri (NixOS) with the client but does when using the web version

pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm set-channel
pnpm build
pnpm exec electron-builder --config electron-builder.config.cjs --linux

Also had to install these dependencies No stream audio but it works with the custom build. Fedora KDE 43, Wayland

@claymorwan hey feel free to take a reference or use my package https://git.killuaa.dev/roufpup/dots/src/branch/main/packages/fluxer/default.nix

Btw on the topic of screensharing, in the latest commit for the refactor branch, audio sharing is still not supported even tho it is in the web app

Same on Bazzite (Immutable Fedora) with AppImage with and without GearLever tweaks. On the same OS it works without any issue using the Chromium or even Firefox browser. So I guess it is more of an AppImage / Electron problem.

So I guess it is more of an AppImage / Electron problem. I am experiencing the same on Bazzite KDE Plasma With Wayland as well.

The problem has already been resolved upstream, wait for a new desktop app update.

Very good, I must have over looked that. Do you know where the ETA is now for the update? I read that the desktop app was supposed to be updating from the refractor branch? Or am I mistaken? One last thing, Has the audio sharing been resolved upstream as well?

Well screensharing works on wayland, atleast on kde plasma and cosmic that i have tested, screenshare audio has been backported to canary and works without if any problems (fluxer is using venmic) (if you aren't using easyeffects or other mic effect apps that is) So once this arrives in normal fluxer this should be closed if there are no other problems :)

o yea i see now, well im gonna try to package it for nix from the tar.gz file, idk if there's a direct link to it tho

> o yea i see now, well im gonna try to package it for nix from the tar.gz file, idk if there's a direct link to it tho Would this suffice? https://api.canary.fluxer.app/dl/desktop/canary/linux/x64/latest/tar_gz

Anyway it don't seem to work tho on my package sadly, no idea why tho cuz it works with the appimage Video_2026-04-25_19-01-47.mp4

• to change the audio source you have to manually restart the stream
• if u're capturing the entire system audio, other users in the call will hear themselves which isn't ideal, but i think this is a venmic issue as this also happens on vesktop/equibop

yea i do have have the xdg-desktop-portal installed and working, and i'm using canary 0.0.41. But I did managed to make a package from the appimage, if anyone wants it it's right there: https://codeberg.org/claymorwan/dotfiles/src/branch/master/NixOS/pkgs/fluxer-canary/default.nix Anyway i did some testing and i did find a few issues:

• to change the audio source you have to manually restart the stream
• if u're capturing the entire system audio, other users in the call will hear themselves which isn't ideal, but i think this is a venmic issue as this also happens on vesktop/equibop
