Dear Maintainer,
after upgrading xdg-desktop-portal-wlr to 0.8.3-1 screensharing using
firefox or chromium freezes after a few seconds. I troubleshot the
issue and found a workaround:

https://tg.st/u/0001-screencast-raise-pipewire-buffer-pool-from-2-to-4-b.patch

Upstream is aware of the issue and I assume that their soon will be a
fix. See:

https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/releases

I mainly filed this issue to raise awareness and provide a workaround
for other users. Probably you don't want to package this. I can
reproduce the issue on two 2-monitor systems.

Cheers,
        Thomas

Hello Birger,

I tried the new package and issue persists unfortunately. When I stream
a video it stops streaming after a few minutes of working. Here is a
video:

Cheers,

Hello Birger,
I just noticed that I tried the old version. I'll wait for the new
version and try to reproduce with that.

Cheers,
        Thomas
