Recording is output with weird visual glitches

[ornate iron]

so uh in the video you can see that the screen flickers randomly but its only the recording thats flickering and not my screen, I've tried OBS and simplescreenrecorder both and still getting the same video output
if you want any information about my system please let me know.
I am using Intel i5-7500 with no external GPU, I am on KDE Plasma X11 session

The video doesn't seem to flicker...

[ornate iron]

one sec

it happens randomly

let me try to produce it

[ornate iron]

the top bar is clearly flickering

its not in my screen its just in the video

I was testing my bot and was recording it, later when I open the video it was flickering

[tired nymph]

Does it happen in a Wayland session

[ornate iron]

dont know I didnt try yet

I installed arch with a 3rd party installer before and it was perfectly fine with X11 session

[tired nymph]

Would you consider trying to reproduce the problem in plasma wayland session? After all, the xorg server hasn't been very actively developed for some time.

[ornate iron]

okay

[tired nymph]

Install plasma-wayland-session to enable the wayland session. OBS uses pipewire to record the screen in wayland

[ornate iron]

same thing happening on the wayland session

[ornate iron]

pipwire isnt an option for me

only XSHM works, which is the same, flickering

[tired nymph]

only XSHM works, which is the same, flickering
Isn't XSHM for xorg? can you post the output from echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

[ornate iron]

x11

[tired nymph]

Then you are not really using Wayland

[ornate iron]

well I want to stick to x11

and want to fix the screen flicker

I want to mention this again, the screen isnt flickering, its the damn recording that is.

[tired nymph]

I am very sorry for any frustration, but you probably misunderstood me, I understand this from the beginning.

[ornate iron]

okay so

i can't use simplescreenrecorder in wayland

the pipewire works in wayland and i didn't notice the screen flicker

how do I get pipewire working in X11?

[tired nymph]

I respect your choice and regret my decision to try to tell you to test the recording in Wayland so that we can isolate the problem - if it is x11 related. Since xshm is a very old extension and may be buggy. I won't try to convince you to test recording on wayland any further.

Thank you for your understanding and I'm very sorry for the disturbance I caused.

I hope other people can help you solve the problem soon.

Have a nice day

[ornate iron]

I think you understood me wrong

I recorded in wayland when you told me, you dont need to apologize

I saw 0 flickers which likely means my problem would be solved if I use pipewire

but pipewire is only working for me when I use wayland
