Bug ID: 498476
Summary: Wishlist: New Virtual Output option in screen sharing
should let one specify the resolution
Classification: Plasma
Product: xdg-desktop-portal-kde
Version: 6.2.4
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: sergio.calleg...@gmail.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When you use `xdg-desktop-portal` to share the screen, you are given the option
to activate a `New Virtual Output` to be shared. This can be extra useful to
record the behavior of some application, or cast it while maintaining your
regular screen usable. However, there is an important limitation in that you
cannot select the new virtual output resolution. That appears to be always
1920x1080. Even if you go the the KDE settings -> display and you select that
display, that single resolution appears to be available. In some cases this is
rather limiting.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch `obs` (obs studio)
2. Add a new source, select screen capture (pipewire) as the source type
3. See the *screen sharing* window from the kde xdg-desktop-portal backend
4. Select New Virtual Output
OBSERVED RESULT
A new virtual output is activated only capable of the 1920x1080 resolution.
EXPECTED RESULT
Either the resolution is asked, or it should be possible to change it with the
display settings.
