Bug ID: 453641
Summary: Pipewire capture node attributes could use more
information
Product: xdg-desktop-portal-kde
Version: 5.24.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: winbloc...@gmx.de
CC: aleix...@kde.org, jgrul...@redhat.com, n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In a pipewire video capture session the node as returned by "pw-cli ls Node"
could benefit from additional information. For example if i want to match a
"Stream/Output/Audio" node to a "Stream/Output/Video" node from a window
capture there is not enough information. The current "Stream/Output/Video" node
(window capture) returned by "pw-cli ls Node" looks like this:
id 65, type PipeWire:Interface:Node/3
object.serial = "769"
client.id = "177"
node.name = "kwin_wayland"
media.class = "Stream/Output/Video"
>From looking at other nodes listed on my system there should be additional
properties like node.nick and node.description that could be used. My proposal
is to change the provided info so that the application name is provided instead
of "kwin_wayland" for window capture nodes. An optional extension of this
proposal would be to provide more information like screen name (ex. wayland-0)
or monitor name for screen capture nodes.
Sidenote: node.nick takes precedence in applications like helvum so providing
the window title / application name there would be preferred if name and nick
are both used.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start a pipewire video capture
2. Run "pw-cli ls Node" through terminal
