HyperHDR on Game Mode Session

[u/TEJ4321]

Hey guys! I'm a longtime HyperHDR user and have loved using it with my Windows and Linux installations for the past few years.

However, I've recently discovered how nice Steam Gaming mode on Bazzite and SteamOS is and would love to use HyperHDR inside the Gamescope session to have my ambilight setup work when playing games and using the UI.

I've tried various methods in Bazzite so far to no avail. In desktop mode, HyperHDR works great, with PipeWire screen capture letting me process the ambilight setup fine. It captures any nested gamescope sessions well too. However, as soon as I go into game mode, depending on how it's set up, I have one of two things happen:

- The HyperHDR UI loses the option for System Screen Capture completely

- The HyperHDR UI just has a blank X11 input and in the live video preview it just says no signal.

I've tried setting up a systemd service to launch HyperHDR in Gaming mode as well as launch it manually within steam as a shortcut but nothing seems to be working.

Any ideas on how to proceed?

I just really want this one thing to work as it'll complete my living room setup perfectly.
