[BUG] Linux: "Unsupported Browser" when trying to join a voice

[user3287]

Can't join a voice, can't unmute, because Discord detects browser as unsupported.

When trying to unmute, Discord prompts with the "Unsupported Browser" "Use latest version of Chrome/ Firefox" etc.

I'm using the AUR build (0.5.0-1) on Manjaro + Wayland.

No idea what other info to attach...

Oh! Someone put it on the AUR, that's cool, thank you "Refined7075" :P

I did a lot of reading into why this would be happening, and it unfortunately boils down to the fact that the version of Webkit2GTK, the backend used in the Linux version, used by Tauri does not yet support WebRTC. It is apparently hidden behind a build-time flag and therefore not easily accessible by me OR them until the feature is stable.

There is essentially nothing I can do about this at the moment. While I would love for the releases to compile Webkit2GTK from source with the flag, I don't know how - if possible - I would coax Tauri into doing that.

Maybe there are alternative releases that contain the flag out there somewhere, but I wouldn't know where to look. I would consider writing a slightly modified version of Tauri to install/use an alternative, WebRTC-enabled build if something like that DOES exist, though!

Oh, ok, I thought the AUR version was an official image :P

Nope! But I would be happy to accept a PR from whoever put it up there, or I will just throw a PKGBUILD in here sometime soon.

The new Webkit2GTK update recently fixed injection AND voice support! Linux builds are no longer the runts of the litter.
