OBS Studio doesn't record video anymore

Help

OBS studio stopped recording video after a KDE Neon update
Black screen, audio is ok.
I use Wayland.

Error log :
Error retrieving pipewire fd: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying

I’m having this issue too. Has anyone found a solution?

From what I remember :
I deleted pipewire-pulse.1.gz with root credentials
I can’t remember the directory where it was.

refreshed the repositories and rebooted my PC several times.

Then the update worked fine.

Hmmm, I can’t find that file. If I use find:

> sudo find / -iname '*pulse*.gz'
find: ‘/proc/5370/task/5370/net’: Invalid argument
find: ‘/proc/5370/net’: Invalid argument

/usr/share/man/man5/pulse-cli-syntax.5.gz
/usr/share/man/man5/pulse-client.conf.5.gz
/usr/share/man/man5/pulse-daemon.conf.5.gz

I’m guessing it’s because I’m not using pipewire for my audio setup? That seems the most likely.

Either way I still haven’t been able to get screen capture working on KDE Neon + Wayland.

It’s in usr/share/man/man1

Ok, found a solution for the issue for me, which was to downgrade the xdg-desktop-portal package using the command:

sudo apt install xdg-desktop-portal=1.14.3-0ubuntu2
sudo apt-mark hold xdg-desktop-portal

I found the solution on this thread:
