Screen recording is choppy, flickering with artifacts and blackouts

[KorigamiK]

As far as I can see, this happens most prominently when the screen shows my terminal or another gl heavy application. This is reproducible on any screen sharing or when recording wth OBS.

You need to observe the flickering that happens whenever I:

• type something in my terminal (look closely how the completions appear and when a new character is added)
• change the workspace

I suspect it has something to do with large redraws of the screen but I may be wrong. This has been bothering me sooooo much and I don't see a clear explanation.

My monitor if 1080p@144hz. These are my specs:

As I watch it frame by frame, It's looking like my cursor is going back (as if I pressed backspace) but I did no such thing.

It's as if the recording is inserting previous frames which gives the illusion of me going back in time.

It's really weird and I'd appreciate some feedback

Running into a similar issue when screensharing.
Sometimes the screenshare goes black, has a green tint on it or just refuses to load all together (Vesktop).
For me the preview looks fine but the viewer(s) encounter these issues.

Some examples on what it looks like. No matter what I screenshare either.

Can confirm that I've been getting this same issue. When this happens, usually toggling fullscreen fixes it.

Sadly I didn't find any solution :/.

I had the same problem with obs and screen share for the past 1 month.
Pipewire will show black screen in obs, and screen sharing in discord will never start.

OS : Cachy OS
Kernel : 6.12.10-2-cachyos-lts
Hyprland version : v0.47.2
xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland version : 1.3.8-1

Working OBS is flatpak and non-working in native package.

I found a temp solution, at least for me.
Downgrade the xdph to 1.3.8-1 and install flatpak version of obs.
I don't know why native obs ain't working.
Also launching native obs, it spams

linux xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland[1913]: [LOG] [pw] Building modifiers for dma

in my logs.
Since I use Vesktop from flatpak, I am able to screen share in discord.

I also suspect an encoding artifact on obs using the nvec encoder. Will test and tell how it goes

I am kinda having the same issue, but it's only noticeable in games.
