Screensharing not working properly on NixOS

[clementpoiret]

Hey, I hope you're doing well.

I use glide on NixOS, and, although screensharing works well on Chromium-based (e.g., vivaldi) and FF-based browsers (e.g., Zen), it's currently broken on Glide. I am trying to check whether the problem lies in Glide.nix's flake, but the changes I make have no effect.
Do you have any idea?

Thanks,
Clement

What happens when you try to screen share? Are there any suspicious logs in the browser toolbox?

[clementpoiret]

But, if it was WM or portals, wouldn't it be broken for all browsers? On both hyprland and niri, sharing works with vivaldi (chromium), Zen (FF), and Firefox developer edition. Screenshot:

Zen and FF on the left, Glide on the right. Nothing happens after allowing the browser to share the screen. Are you on Wayland too? If yes, may I know you current env variables related to XDG desktop session, wayland, etc.? Thanks :)

I use nixos module for niri and mangowc (flake), and things work for glide.

can you try this package file: glide-browser/glide.nix#1 (comment) ?

Yea, so if screensharing does not work in glide only then that looks like package deps issue.

Same with private window or new fresh profile as well?

[clementpoiret]

Same with your package :/
And yes, it happens also both in private window and a new profile

Okay so, I checked many packages for Glide, and packages for other FF forks. I finally got screensharing to work!
It was missing runtime deps.
Here is my PR: glide-browser/glide.nix#7
