Unless I'm missing something.. all of the required information is available through the X11 protocol. Reading the command lines of the processes is unnecessary and provides data that isn't useful in the window sharing context.
- jraph 5y agoThis would not work on Wayland, though.
- bonzini 5y agoWayland is even more strict, you ask it for screen sharing and it gives you the stream. If the compositor doesn't support screen sharing you're out of luck, there's just no way to read the contents of a window. With X11 if the window manager doesn't have the relevant support you can always ask the server.
- mnd999 5y agoZoom doesn’t support screen sharing on Wayland, except through some propriety Gnome API. It also doesn’t run at all for me on sway, just crashes at startup.
