I used to use OBS Studio as flatpak on Kubuntu 24.04 up until a couple of weeks ago. Now I have switched to Arch, got OBS again as flatpak but now the screen capture source doesn't work anymore, like it used to work on my old system.
Now, when I pick an application for the screen capture it only uses that one instance of that application. When I close that application and reopen it later it doesn't recognise it anymore and I have to pick the application to be captured every time again. On my old system I picked the application once and everytime I opened it, it was recognised in OBS, all good.
Am I doing something wrong or was the screen capture source updated/changed? Or is it a problem on Arch and something is not configured correct?
 
You probably movde from X11 to Wayland. The capture method completely changed here. It now mostly depends on your DE's implementation.
 
Actually yes, I'm on KDE Plasma 6.6.4, which comes with Wayland.
Is there anything to make this work properly under Wayland, do I have to approach it completly different now or is there configuration for that?
 
This is the result of the increased seciry design of Wayland. No accidental exposing of data without user interaction. There is this token for re-attachment, but it is up to the DE's implementation how they handle this.
