Full screen sharing gives a black screen #251

bug Something isn't working

Using deskreen 2.0.4, when sharing a full screen (either the virtual screen or the real one), one ends up with a black screen on the other end, on the target browser; but I can see the mouse cursor moving, that I am controlling from the source laptop.

I am guessing this is because I am using wayland (with gnome-shell), and this is causing problem with deskreen?
But this is working fine when sharing only a window(?)
When sharing the real screen, I can see a black screen, and the mouse cursor is shown moving when over the deskreen window only.

Having the same issue here, running in Wayland Fedora 39 KDE. But when I run in X11, it does works. The version should be 2.0.4 AppImage.

Edit:
Saw there's one of the post said "if the latest chrome is able to record the screen, but Deskreen can't, then I can try to upgrade electron version", this link can test if chrome able to record the screen https://www.veed.io/screen-recorder-app

So my best bet is to try to upgrade the electron version?

Edit on 22nd February:
Not sure why now it works on my machine, I have no idea how and why.
Could be me installing some packages when trying alternative.
