What Linux applications has implemented the FreeDesktop/XDG background portal feature?

Any torrent clients? Any apps at all actually fully supports it yet?

wl-mirror will soon support XDG Portal screencasts and thus KDE and Gnome!

With all of the talk around explicit sync I tried to test the old broken xdg-portal branch again and apparently it now works?!

I plan on cleaning this up soon so that wl-mirror finally works on other compositors.

Just gave #Firefox with #PipeWire / #libcamera / #xdgportal support a go on my #PinePhonePro. Works pretty well apart from missing rotation support and UI issues on small screens.

It currently requires "media.webrtc.camera.allow-pipewire" to be set to "true" in "about:config". Other then that the same requirements like for other apps like Snapshot, Authenticator and Decoder apply: a working Pipewire/libcamera/xdg-portal setup (IMO this should be left to distros/images).

Firefox on the PinephonePro, requesting camera permissions using the camera portal portal.Firefox camera selection dialog on the PPP, using landscape mode to fit on the screen. The dialog correctly offers both cameras with recognizable names: "Build-in Front Camera" and "Build-in Back Camera".Firefox on the PPP with a webrtc test page open, demoing that the camera actually works in FF.
