Screen share functionality about obs-web

[tt2468]

@Niek That is only for Ubuntu, and the dependency on the package has not changed with any OBS version. The correct Qt image format binaries must be included in the OBS release files for windows, which we do not have at the moment.

[Niek]

I switched the screenshot format to PNG until there's a fix.

[Niek]

I have not experienced this so far... Can you share some more details about the browser you're using? Did you check the developer tools console for any error messages?

[nickkostov]

It is a chrome on Ubuntu

[Niek]

Check you check if you see any errors in the developer console?

[nickkostov]

Just to clarify, the option is in inspect element, I am no npm coder?

[Niek]

Yeah, when you see this behavior, just hit Shift + Ctrl + J - can you post the messages you see in the console?

[nickkostov]

Thank you, I will update you as soon as possible.
By the way is this all the code inside your repo or you pull it from somewhere else, I am interested into looking how exactly it works, so I can improve the engine.

I'm getting the same error. From the console log:
bundle-v232f602.js:3 Error sending command TakeSourceScreenshot - error is: {error: "unsupported picture format: jpeg", message-id: "41", status: "error", messageId: "41"}

[lucaspontoexe]

I tried with png and it worked. I can send a pull request if needed

[nickkostov]

I just realized screenshot did not upload, sorry about that one

Getting the exact same error as lucas, changing to png in the developer console didn't resolve for me.

Check your console and see if the format really changed. Because of the service worker, the code is not updated right away.
You can try again in an incognito window

I just pushed a new version at http://obs-web.niek.tv/ that uses jpg instead of jpeg... apparently some platforms don't support the 4-letter format. Can you please check @lucaspontoexe @kewickviper @nickkostov?

[nickkostov]

I will attempt it ASAP and will update you shortly

[kewickviper]

@Niek doesn't work for me same error message but with 'jpg':

Error sending command TakeSourceScreenshot - error is: {error: "unsupported picture format: jpg", message-id: "30", status: "error", messageId: "30"}

Using Chrome Version 87.0.4280.88 (Official Build) (64-bit)

[Niek]

Are you all running OBS on Linux? Seems like the obs-websocket build is missing JPG support, which is very strange.

[Niek]

Found the relevant issue: obsproject/obs-websocket#634

A quick workaround is to install the qt5-image-formats-plugins package.

[kewickviper]

@Niek Am running everything on windows including OBS

[nickkostov]

I have just regarded the trouble if it is still reoccurring, I have some positive news. It seems alright.
I think you can close this issue and not to bother anymore with it.
By the way I am using it on Chrome in Ubuntu 20.04 which is always in incognito.
