Screen share image is distorted

Hello, first issue here, so feel free to point me in the right direction to debug, or if this isn't the right place for this:

Whenever I screen share over pipewire, I get a distorted image on the screen:

The distorted image does, in a way, resemble the screen capture area. It's not completely random, but resembles the colors and such. It's just very strangely distorted to be unusable.

This image is from OBS Studio, but I get similar in Firefox when sharing my screen over WebRTC. It behaves the same whether I share a specific window or the entire screen. All of the controls to select a window or screen work properly, just the output image is distorted. If I share via X11/not pipewire, everything works okay, except I cannot share Wayland windows.

Here are details about my system:

  • Manjaro Linux
  • pipewire 0.3.7 (although I've tried 0.3.8-2 from the arch repo, and I've tried the pipewire-git from AUR that appears to give me a black screen)
  • xdg-desktop-portal 1.7.2
  • obs-studio 25.0.8-2 (with obs-xdg-portal-git)
  • fedora-firefox-wayland-bin (Firefox compiled with pipewire) 79.0-5
  • Video - AMD via Mesa

Thank you in advance for any help!
