documentation refers to pw_remote_connect_fd from Pipewire 0.2 which no longer exists

[Tooniis]

Using pw_remote_connect_fd is suggested here:

libportal/libportal/remote.c

Line 877 in a1530a9

* pw_remote_connect_fd(). Only the screencast stream nodes will be available

However, this function no longer exists in PipeWire. How should screencast functionality be implemented instead?

That documentation comment is outdated, pw_remote_connect_fd() seems to have been part of the Pipewire 0.2 API. Unfortunately I don't know the Pipewire 0.3/1.0 answer to your question.

I'd suggest looking for a working client of the screencast portal to use as a reference, or possibly looking for a project that previously used pw_remote_connect_fd() (for example qtwebengine-opensource-src, according to Debian code search) and finding out what it now does instead.

You have to use pw_context_connect_fd. You can for example look at implementation in OBS Studio.
