Failed to start recording: Interaction was ended in some other way

[doums]

System Info

- io.github.seadve.Kooha 2.2.2
- Flatpak: true
- Experimental: false

- Distribution: GNOME 43 (Flatpak runtime)
- Desktop Session: xmonad
- Display Server: X11

- GTK 4.8.2
- Libadwaita 1.2.0
- GStreamer 1.20.3

Describe the bug I tried from both flatpak and Arch Linux packages, both fail when I click on "Record" button, a new window opens "Failed to start recording" with the following error message:

Failed to start recording

Caused by:
    0: Check out <a href="https://github.com/SeaDve/Kooha#-it-doesnt-work">It Doesn't Work page</a> for help.
    1: Failed to create ScreencastSession
    2: Failed to create session
    3: Interaction was ended in some other way with response VariantDict({})

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. open Kooha
2. Click on 'Record'
3. See error

Expected behavior Should start recording

I'm running X11, no DE, just a window manager XMonad, picom as compositor.

Pipewire Multimedia Session Manager service is running (wireplumber). xdg-desktop-portal is running.

I have no problem with others applications screencasting like firefox, discord, peek etc..

Hi, is this still reproducible in the latest version: 2.2.4?

[SeaDve]

The thing I notice in other bug reports and here is it seems to only happens with X11.

This seems a different error. Based on it, the xdg-desktop-portal-* of your desktop doesn't support ScreenCast interface necessary for Kooha to talk to your desktop.

Changing to Wayland solved my issue.
