@jadahl Thanks for this, I've created a similar snippet for screen-shots based on this in https://gitlab.gnome.org/snippets/814

Could this be updated for more recent versions of python3-gi? Or at least inform which version-range it would work with?

Hmm,

>>> import gi
>>> gi.version_info
(3, 38, 0)
>>> gi.repository
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'gi' has no attribute 'repository'
>>> gi.Repository
<class 'gi.Repository'>

but the script still works.

FWIW, I removed the deprecated GObject.threads_init() so that warning should no longer occur.

@jadahl Hello. Thanks for this code. How can I record in MP4 with sound? The examples I've used before with ximagesrc don't work ...

@amikha1lov you need to set up your own gstreamer pipeline that combines some audio source with the pipewire stream; it's more of a gstreamer question.

Hi, thanks for the snippet! However, when I tried to connect screen_cast_call(portal.CreateSession, on_create_session_response, options={ 'session_handle_token': session_token }) to a button, in the second press of the button (after ending the first pipewire stream), it gives this error Failed to create session: 2. I assume that it has something to do that it can only have one successful request per session?
