#685 Remove XWaylandVideoBridge from base images
Opened by xalt7x. Modified

Dear maintainers, please drop xwaylandvideobridge package from base images

  1. It's considered no longer needed, nor maintained by KDE developers. Repository was archived as well.
  2. It might create issues for users. If I use the KWin script "Fluid Tile", a single window often either doesn't maximize or gets moved to the the next virtual desktop for no apparent reason. Turns out, XWaylandVideoBridge creates an invisible window that can sometimes be seen briefly when I exit “Overview” mode. After closing "Wayland to X11 Video bridge" from the System Tray, this problem disappears.

For now, I'm creating user override to disable its autostart

mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart
cat << EOF | tee ~/.config/autostart/org.kde.xwaylandvideobridge.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Hidden=true
NoDisplay=true
Type=Application
Name=Xwayland Video Bridge
EOF
