Hello!

Installation

From arch wiki I found this screen recorder - Kooha.

When installing it gave choices:
Pasted image 20220724115511
I choose 3 since I’m using KDE.

Runtime requirements

Github page:

  • pipewire
  • gstreamer-plugin-pipewire
  • xdg-desktop-portal
  • xdg-desktop-portal-(e.g., gtk, kde, wlr)
[elnath@elnath-ryzen ~]$ pacman -Q pipewire
pipewire 1:0.3.56-1
[elnath@elnath-ryzen ~]$ pacman -Q gstreamer-plugin-pipewire
error: package 'gstreamer-plugin-pipewire' was not found
[elnath@elnath-ryzen ~]$ pacman -Q xdg-desktop-portal
xdg-desktop-portal 1.14.5-1
[elnath@elnath-ryzen ~]$ pacman -Q xdg-desktop-portal-kde
xdg-desktop-portal-kde 5.25.3-1
[elnath@elnath-ryzen ~]$ pacman -Q gstreamer-plugin-pipewire
error: package 'gstreamer-plugin-pipewire' was not found
[elnath@elnath-ryzen ~]$

I don’t have this gstreamer-plugin-pipewire.
When I do search “arch gstreamer-plugin-pipewire” it shows me gst-plugin-pipewire

I have gst-plugin-pipewire 1:0.3.56-1

I’m not sure how should I proceed or what is the issue?

Can’t go wrong with simeplescreenrecorder (it’s a KDE/Qt app) if you need a more native option and I remember testing Kooha earlier this year, but I didn’t run into these issues at the time. I had used the flatpak version which simplified a lot of things, which is available here btw:

Hopefully someone else a little more knowledgeable will be able to tell you which additional packages you may need to install in order to get this to work if you only want to use the Arch repo version of Kooha.

I guess gst-plugin-pipewire is Arch-ese for gstreamer-plugin-pipewire from the Github page.

Installed kooha to test on GNOME. Works fine on my end.
