OBS under wayland not useable if custom docks are needed (Twitch chat etc.)

[0fbcb238c0]

As stated in the title, the custom browser docks feature of OBS, which is needed for integrating Youtube/Twitch chat etc., is not available under wayland due to the following issues:
obsproject/obs-browser#279
chromiumembedded/cef#2804

OBS under wayland is therefore not usable for streaming if custom browser docks are required.

force it to run under xwayland with flatseal

or do this to force it also if the first one doesnt work

@0fbcb238c0 can you confirm this works?

[0fbcb238c0]

Doing the first one indeed lets the options for custom browser docks show up. Since I am not a streamer myself I am not able to test if it works properly.
Forcing OBS to run on xorg will probably require the xwaylandvideobridge to be installed, because OBS will otherwise not be able to capture windows or screens.

That is not required, you are able to use wayland capture still atleast under amd im able to

force it to run under xwayland

It should be noted this is not supported by upstream OBS and runs into various other issues when used.

Maybe this could be added to a future "workarounds" page as in #28

Not sure if the message about it being it should stay or be removed, as there are other tools also requiring workarounds.

[0fbcb238c0]

A section for workarounds is definitely not a bad idea since there will be at least a few tools requiring workarounds to work properly under wayland. Another example: The discord client needs XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 set, because the xwaylandvideobridge does not work properly with discord since a few versions ago.
