xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland

xdg-desktop-portal backend for hyprland

What and why?

Due to reasons explained in hyprland-protocols, we have a separate desktop portal impl for Hyprland.

Although -wlr does work with Hyprland, -hyprland offers more features.

Additional dependencies

XDPH depends on qt6 and qt6-wayland for the sharing selector. Lack of either will cause screensharing to not work at all.

Building

meson build --prefix=/usr
ninja -C build
cd hyprland-share-picker && make all && cd ..

Installing

From Source

ninja -C build install
sudo cp ./hyprland-share-picker/build/hyprland-share-picker /usr/bin

AUR

yay -S xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland-git

Usage

Although should start automatically, consult the Hyprland wiki in case of issues.

For other wlroots-based compositors

If you are a developer and wish to support features that XDPH provides, make sure to support those protocols:

• wlr_foreign_toplevel_management_unstable_v1
• hyprland_toplevel_export_v1 - XDPH uses Rev2 exclusively (_with_toplevel_handle)
