Screenshare orientation on vertical monitor

[LazyWings]

Managed to configure screen sharing to work, but my left side monitor is vertical (transformation settings defined in the hyprland config file). I've tested on Vesktop and OBS studio - issue persists on both.

Can confirm on vesktop, chrome and firefox, but could not replicate in obs.

can confirm

does anyone have a good workaround for this until it gets fixed?
currently i have to rotate the input in obs and share obs scene instead of my screen for screen sharing purposes

[MagneticNeedle]

i'll try to fix this, i know why its happening, should be a simple fix, as for workaround i dont think there is any, we will just need to wait till fix is in upstream

It seems that SPA_META_VideoTransform is not present in the buffer metadata for PipeWire streams. This is what many apps, including browsers use to determine if and how the captured image needs to be rotated.

I am using a screen with transform 1 and I experience quite similar behavior.

Screenshots and screencasts are partially drawn, with a black area covering parts of the screen.
Screencasts are rotated wrongly as well.

Haven't seen anyone mention this but if your issue is that when you're using full screen capture and only the rotation is wrong (so no partially black captures) you're most likely hitting this issue in WebRTC, which is what all browsers and browser based desktop apps use.

Basically WebRTC doesn't support the SPA_META_VideoTransform metadata XDPH/Pipewire sends.

The workaround as mentioned is using OBS as that does support the transform metadata since 29.1 (or rotate it manually if your version is older) but otherwise we'll have to wait for WebRTC to fix it.
