columbarius 074e62d0c3 screencast: restructure the screencopy flow
The previous implemented way to use wlr_screencopy events to cicle the
screencast had issues, like halting the stream if it was paused and
resumed before PipeWire triggered a recreation of buffers. This came
from not returning a dequeued buffer. This is now mititgated by
enqueuing the current pw_buffer imidiately on a paused event and trying
to dequeue a buffer just before requesting a screencopy if none is
present.

Running

Make sure XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is set. Make sure WAYLAND_DISPLAY and XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP are imported into D-Bus. If you're running Sway, this can be added to your config file:

exec dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway

When correctly installed, xdg-desktop-portal should automatically invoke xdg-desktop-portal-wlr when needed.

Configuration

See man 5 xdg-desktop-portal-wlr.

Manual startup

At the moment, some command line flags are available for development and testing. If you need to use one of these flags, you can start an instance of xdpw using the following command:

xdg-desktop-portal-wlr -r [OPTION...]

To list the available options, you can run xdg-desktop-portal-wlr --help.
