Description:

After the recent update to libvpx 1.10.0 Gnome Screencast no longer works.

Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R creates an empty file, the red dot appears and won't go away anymore, even after repeatedly pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R again. Journalctl doesn't print anything helpful.

Downgrading to libvpx 1.9.0-1 fixes this issue.

Just pushed an updated gst-plugins-good, can you give it a try?

Sure. Would you just tell me the new version of that package, just to make sure that I test the right on?

Of course, that's 1.18.4-2.
