On Linux, full-screen recording intermittently fails with this error dialog:
Failed to start recording: Selected display is not available for browser capture on this system.
What seems to be happening
The app appears to rely on a previously selected monitor/source ID for browser capture. On Linux (especially Wayland), display/source IDs can change between launches or display/session changes, so the stored source can become stale and unavailable.
Repro (common)
- Launch Recordly
- Select full-screen source
- Restart app, suspend/resume, or change display layout
- Try full-screen recording again
- Error appears and recording does not start
Expected
If stored source is stale/unavailable, app should gracefully re-resolve source or fall back to picker-based getDisplayMedia flow and continue.
Actual
Recording fails hard with error dialog and no fallback.
Notes
Window capture may still work while full-screen fails.
Thanks!
