Expected Behavior
Changing camera resolution should keep the camera working.
Current Behavior
Changing the camera resolution breaks the portal -camera turns off and the video freezes-, and changing it back doesn't fix it. You have to restart OBS.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a new camera source using the pipewire camera portal.
- Change the resolution from the dropdown menu.
- the camera source will break, you'll have to.
