weird bug

[frankischilling]

I cannot see anyone's cam or screen shares; when screen sharing my desktop itself, I have to rescreen share multiple times because it bugs whoever is watching.

I am using arch linux and installed discord-screenaudio from the AUR

[frankischilling]

The weird part is, the only way I can actually see what they're sharing is if I minimize the Discord window, like when I'm in a server or doing something else. I even took a screenshot to show what it looks like when my friend is screen sharing. It's visible when it's minimized or not the main focus, but as soon as I try to look closer, it turns into a black screen. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have a similar issue when trying to view streams, but I haven't had any issue streaming to to others. My painful workaround to watch streams is just to join with my primary discord account on the official client (I have a secondary account for this client). It's a bit obnoxious to have to switch between clients, but it's worked for me so far.

I'm using the flatpak on Kubuntu 23.10.

Same thing just started happening to me using the de.shorsh.discord-screenaudio Flatpak version 1.9.2. I'm able to stream just fine, and others are able to see it using the official Discord client - but I myself could not see any cameras/screens on the client including my own and others', when I'm in the call.

[irfanhakim-as]

Any update on this? Feel free to share what information we could provide to debug this issue.

Arch Linux, Aur Package,same bug

[nyooNyoo]

Same issue here, tried the AUR Package as well as built it myself.

[zentrev]

same issue here

[victoriaronja]

Had this issue last week, now it's gotten worse to the point where I can't even hear other people's mics anymore when using the discord-screenaudio client. At first I figured it might be a problem with KDE since I reinstalled my OS recently and was using Cinnamon before, but I have the same issue on my ThinkPad that is still running Cinnamon and was also working fine before. All systems using Arch and having installed from the AUR. Also tried the Flatpak version on my Desktop, same issue. :(

fedora 39 KDE with nvidia drivers, also having this problem

This may be unrelated to this bug but when I change tty sessions or desktop environments like logging out and logging into a new DE the audio will stop working for who ever is watching the stream and the only fix is to reboot the machine

edit: this is on a very fresh install of arch with Nvidia drivers (couple days old)

I am facing a similar issue on this system

[DanBenesh]

I am having the same issue. Cannot view others screenshare. There is a mini-player in the corner when you click on a different channel. Pop-out is blank as well.

[ktmfake]

Installed from the AUR, the problem is still present. I also noticed that i can get a glimpse of the webcams if I hover on the name of a user that is currently streaming and click watch stream. It basically shows the webcam overlay directly under the stream

Running endeavour with latest nvidia drivers.

[ste1nberg]

same issue here on fedora 39 workstation

::STOPMUSIC:: THIS IS NOT A BUG, IT'S A FEATURE!!! Streaming via discord always has bad framerate and stutters to the person watching this includes this custom client but ever since this bug everyone that has watched a gaming stream of mines has reported that the video is smooth compared to the stutter fest that used to be before.

This bug needs to be investigated to figure out how to bring this streaming feature while retaining all the other features.

I need people to confirm this, by comparing different clients or if possible older clients.

same problem, arch linux
