Toot

Written by DeadTOm on 2025-01-20 at 23:49

I can't run OBS, and it's irritating me.

Anything earlier than version 30.1.1 is afflicted with the pipewire error.

The version in the repos is 29.0.

Can't upgrade passed 30.0.1 in flatpak because of the org.kde.Platform issue, which the dev has to fix.

Can't install from source because it wants ffmpeg > 6.1...

Feeling a little punchy.

It's looking like the only viable solution right now is to remove Pipewire, and go back to PulseAudio until all of the devs involved are able to get things up to speed. That's fine, I never had any problems with PulseAudio. It just feels like a step back, I guess.

@deadtom Mine's still working. Yay!!!!

Does it just not load? How did you know something was wrong?

@Mrfunkedude I can't do any screen capturing at all. It throws an error about failing to create a pipewire context.

Lots of searching has turned up a few other people with the same problem, all of us on Debian 12. It all boils down to this perfect storm of dependency hell.

I'm confident switching to PulseAudio will resolve the issue.

@deadtom I must already be on PulseAudio because I just checked and it looks like everything is working.

WHEW!

Thanks for the warning. That would have sucked to try to stream today and it not capture.
