Direzione di ricerca

The failure is in the XDG portal and PipeWire capture negotiation, which the log tags as [portalgrab] and [pipewire]. Start by comparing the capture negotiation code between the working build 2026.914.233613 and the broken commit 657f9b68bf0b2d34adf585b620775d19bb40d8a4, focusing on how the stream is renegotiated after a display drops out of the portal list. Done means a display change renegotiates and streaming continues without the no more input formats loop, verified with the attached log scenario.

Describe the Bug

On pre-release 2026.1113.231225, XDG portal capture breaks for good once the streamed display briefly disappears from the portal's stream list. My setup has two monitors, and Sunshine streams DP-1. DP-1 drops out of the list for a moment when it changes power state.

  1. DP-1 is streaming. The stream goes streaming -> paused, fails with no more input formats (seq:42), and DP-1 is reported as no longer present.
  2. Sunshine logs [portalgrab] Negotiation failed, will retry without maxFramerate.
  3. Every negotiation after that fails right away with no more input formats (seq:16). That includes HDMI-A-1, DP-1 once it is back, and new client sessions. Sunshine keeps forcing session resets about every 1.5 s (165 times in the attached log), and Moonlight shows a black screen until Sunshine is restarted.

Relevant excerpt (pre-release):

[17:01:54.514]: Info: [pipewire] PipeWire stream state: streaming -> paused
[17:01:55.350]: Info: [pipewire] Pipewire Error, id:2 seq:42 message: no more input formats

[17:02:11.208]: Info: [portalgrab] Found stream for display id/name: 'DP-1' position: 0x0 resolution: 2560x1440
[17:02:11.227]: Info: [pipewire] Streaming display 'DP-1' offset: 0x0 resolution: 2560x1440
[17:02:11.235]: Info: [pipewire] PipeWire stream error 'no more input formats' on state: paused -> error

Earlier in the same run, at 16:25:50, the same seq:42 error was followed by a successful negotiation. No retry without maxFramerate message was logged that time.

On stable 2026.914.233613 the same display change happens (no more input formats once, DP-1 is no longer present). Sunshine then requests variable frame rate, renegotiates on HDMI-A-1 and keeps streaming:

[16:19:16.849]: Info: [pipewire] Pipewire Error, id:2 seq:42 message: no more input formats
[16:19:16.873]: Warning: Previous active display [DP-1] is no longer present
[16:19:16.873]: Info: [pipewire] Requested variable frame rate (Sunshine pacing required: 16.6667ms)
[16:19:16.893]: Info: [pipewire] Compositor negotiated frame rate: 0/1 (variable rate capture)
[16:19:16.894]: Info: [pipewire] PipeWire stream state: paused -> streaming

Possibly related: #5499 (same KWin no more input formats loop, different hardware).

Expected Behavior

After the display change, capture renegotiates and streaming continues, as it does on 2026.914.233613.

Additional Context
  • Broken: 2026.1113.231225 (commit 657f9b68bf0b2d34adf585b620775d19bb40d8a4). Works: 2026.914.233613.
  • Two monitors: DP-1 (Samsung Odyssey G50F, 2560x1440, primary, streamed) and HDMI-A-1 (Lenovo T23i-10, 1920x1080).
  • DP-1 wakes about a second slower than HDMI-A-1. This may be why it briefly disappears from the portal list; unconfirmed.
  • Reproduced on two connection attempts. Rolling back to the Flathub stable build fixed it.
