Screen sharing in Nextcloud Talk Desktop shows a black rectangle on Wayland because the app uses Electron's legacy desktopCapturer API instead of the PipeWire/portal path.

This patches the webpack bundle inside app.asar to inject setDisplayMediaRequestHandler with useSystemPicker: true, which routes screen capture through the native xdg-desktop-portal on Wayland.

Based on upstream draft PR nextcloud/talk-desktop#1022.

Changes:

  • New package overlay: packages/nextcloud-talk-desktop/
  • Communication role uses patched version via pkgs.custom.nextcloud-talk-desktop

⚠️ Needs testing — the asar patching approach works in eval but should be verified on an actual Sway session.

Screen sharing in Nextcloud Talk Desktop shows a black rectangle on Wayland because the app uses Electron's legacy `desktopCapturer` API instead of the PipeWire/portal path. This patches the webpack bundle inside `app.asar` to inject `setDisplayMediaRequestHandler` with `useSystemPicker: true`, which routes screen capture through the native xdg-desktop-portal on Wayland. Based on upstream draft PR [nextcloud/talk-desktop#1022](https://github.com/nextcloud/talk-desktop/pull/1022). **Changes:** - New package overlay: `packages/nextcloud-talk-desktop/` - Communication role uses patched version via `pkgs.custom.nextcloud-talk-desktop` ⚠️ Needs testing — the asar patching approach works in eval but should be verified on an actual Sway session.
