Page title change

OBS has been rebranded to OBS Studio, it may be better to update the page name to reflect this. For reference, portage also recognizes the package as obs-studio. Stonespheres (talk)

Good suggestion. Work has been done. Fixed links in all linked pages as well. Thanks for the good work around our wiki. --Maffblaster (talk) 20:03, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

HTML comment in "Virtual camera" section

Talk status

This discussion is done as of 15 July 2022.

The last edit, which creates the section on virtual camera support, has part of the paragraph added as an HTML comment:

For virtual camera support within OBS Studio emerge the v4l2loopback kernel module:<!-- For OBS Studio to initialize the kernel module you need to give it the appropriate permissions, this can be done by running it as root or using a polkit agent. -->

Is there a specific reason for that? xxc3nsoredxx (talk) 07:06, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

A fix was provided (Special:Diff/1077287). --Blacki (talk) 00:10, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

Enabling Pipewire screen capture support in Wayland

Talk status

This discussion is done.

The corresponding section may be missing some important details. On my minimal system, I had to install sys-apps/xdg-desktop-portal and gui-libs/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr, and enable the "screencast" USE flag for the first one.

adding the screencast USE flag globally to make.conf

Overlooking this, the above makes the user enable "screencast" for irrelevant programs like Firefox and Telegram.

Sounds good - feel free to just make the change :) - Contributor's guide -- Ris (talk) 20:26, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the changes!! I've "flipped" the instructions so that the USE flags are set before the emerge - I think this will avoid having to re-emerge packages after the USE change. Also added to re-emerge obs-studio to apply the USE flag change to that package. Fell free to correct these changes in case they don't properly apply to this situation ;). -- Ris (talk) 06:57, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
