I have pipwire-plugin-libcamera libcamera libcamera-gstreamer libcamera-ipa installed and can’t see my camera in obs or firefox
i am using a usb cable
yes i enabled pipwire camera in firefox’s about:config and don’t have resist fingerprinting enabled
pipewire version 1.0.7 fedora kde
in kde settings test camera works but when i click on configure or information the settings app sometimes hangs and sometimes says:
camera configuration failed, No camera summary found
Both OBS and Firefox do not use Pipewire input by default
Note that for OBS Flatpak you need to use the Flatpak variant of the plugin and follow this howto:
Then if they use, you can try if they see the camera
how can i share a long debug file like pastebin @boredsquirrel
using fpaste --raw-url
I’m interested in knowing if this will work. Very excited for the Pipewire Camera features coming.
no i mean to share it to this site
if you have a debug output from your terminal, pipe it to fpaste and share the url here !
ex: journalctl -xe | fpaste --raw-url
I updated the guide for OBS
here is gphotos debug output
camera summary in kde used to work before updateing to 6.1.2
osb’s debug Hastebin
i have media.webrtc.camera.allow-pipewire enabled yet to no avail
dt@computer:~$ gphoto2 --summary --debug | fpaste -raw-url is what I was trying to explain to you earlier. fpaste is a fedora tool for this same purpose.
All good though. 
although desktop capture works out of the box.
sometimes i wonder if device capture is the broken feature because i also tried to plug gaming console to hdmi to my pc and the same blank options were present
You have the OBS Flatpak from Flathub or Fedora?
