Re: GStreamer and Linux, screen recording works well on Xorg but not on Wayland.

Thanks for the answer, I really appreciate it.

Is it possible to run a command to check if everything works?
I mean can I test it with a command like this before developing my 
integration in my software?

Isn't this command the right one to use?

gst-launch-1.0 pipewiresrc ! fd=%d path=%u ! videoconvert ! xvimagesink

If yes, how can retrieve the right fd and path variable to use using CLI?

I want to test it via CLI before developing a software for it if possible.

Thanks!!!
Davide
