Subject: [PATCH v4] gnu: gnome-shell: Wrap screencast service.

From: Dariqq <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 8 May 2024 18:33:30 +0000

Adjust screencast such that GI_TYPELIB_PATH and GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH are set
before starting.

Add all required gstreamer plugins to inputs.

To be able to use it a running pipewire service is needed.

* gnu/packages/gnome.scm (gnome-shell):
[inputs]: Add gst-plugins-good and pipewire.
[#:phases]<'wrap-programs>: Wrap org.gnome.Shell.Screencast.

Here is v4 which appends the gstreamer plugins to GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH, handling the case when getenv returns null. I think the difference between appendending or prepending in this case is not too important as the user GST_PLUGIN_PATH should take precedent. The more important thing is that the plugins are in any plugin path at all.
