Download Scrcpy HOT!

It was possible to log the capture framerate in the console (printed every second), by pressing MOD+i in the scrcpy window. It was broken in v1.22 (nobody reported it, so it's probably not widely used), it's fixed now.
A new option --otg (#2974) allows to run scrcpy with only physical keyboard (#2632) and mouse (#2916) simulation, without mirroring and without requiring adb (USB debugging), as if the computer keyboard and mouse were plugged directly to the device via an OTG cable.
In this new version, if the encoder fails before the first video frame, then scrcpy automatically retries with a lower definition (#2947), so in most cases it should work without explicitly passing a size argument.
I want to do a simple screen capture of my Android screen (not record a video). Obviously, one can interact directly with the device to take a screenshot, which is then saved on the device. Or once scrcpy is running on the PC one could use an application on the PC to capture part of the PC display screen. (This gets saved at the PC screen resolution). I can also use ADB to capture the Android screen but it seems quite slow (e.g., 0.5 sec). I would prefer a way to issue a command to scrcpy to capture the Android screen and save it to an image file on the PC. I'm hoping this would be faster than using ADB. I've searched the scrcpy manual and can't find what I'm looking for. Have I missed it?
Last night I used scrcpy to watch a show from the dish anywhere app on my phone using scrcpy to view it on my laptop screen. No issues. Tonight, I try it, and the video on the scrcpy window is black. Audio comes through and it's running fine on phone but scrcpy isn't showing it on screen. Any thoughts? I should add, scrcpy is otherwise working fine. I can see the app I'm in, just not the video playing. That's new as of today and I did nothing different.
installed scrcpy through winget, restarted my shell and im still unable to use scrcpy command, it's probably not added to PATH automatically, where is it located so i can add? I want to use winget so it'll be up to date.
I found this really neat and convenient project literally yesterday, tried it out (was worried my usb that came with my tab s7 wouldn't work for the otg mode), and was pleasantly surprised. I've been wanting a kvm-like experience between my laptop and tablet for some time and now scrcpy lets me do that.
The only thing though is I'm reading from the github page of scrcpy that both otg mode and physical keyboard/mouse mode require my tab s7 to be connected by usb? In that case, while I don't mind having to use the usb cable itself, my issue really is the fact that my tab s7 will keep charging if I keep it plugged in to my laptop with scrcpy. So there lies my two questions:
Ditto what bigpup wrote. And bionicpup32 may not be the best Puppy to do it. A quick glance at =scrcpy indicates that only 64-bit linux versions of scrcpy are available.
It may be immediately install-able under Fossapup64, Voidpup64, or recent 64-bit debian-based Puppys.
I don't know where to share it, but I discovered a few months ago scrcpy a great opensource tool to display the phone screen on the computer.
I use it in combination with an integrated screencast software like Kazam (linux) to produce short videos with sound to present our forms to colleagues, like today to present new form version using map selection
Oh, scrcpy is indeed a great mirroring tool, very useful for training and discussing issues. I only had issues with X-tigi tablets in Kenya (for which you need a specific driver I think), but in other cases it works very smoothly. I do not know Kazam, but I use OBS Studio quite intensively.
scrcpy is a very cool tool to display and control an Android 5 or greater device. I discovered this project thanks to OMG Ubuntu back in November last year and while I gave it a test run back then, I never truly appreciated scrcpy at the time as I thought it was fiddly. The problem was with the user (me) not the tool, which makes me the tool. Thankfully OMG Ubuntu released a fresh blog post with updated information about scrcpy so I had to have another go, and I was right to!
Today, I was trying to operate my mobile phone using my Laptop (Ubuntu 21.10). I found an interesting application that allows me to operate my mobile phone using Ubuntu. The application is known as Scrcpy. I followed all the steps of README.md and installed it using sudo snap install scrcpy. After allowing all the permissions (USB debugging and Security USB debugging) on my android phone, I tried to run it, however, it gives me the following errors:
The auto-scrcpy.py script works fine but sometimes even starting up terminal can be kind of a hassle, right? Who wants to launch terminal on every machine restart just to run the same script every time?After a fair amount of reading, I found that I could use launchctl to install launch agents that would run my script on startup. Great! Doing this by hand was a bit of a hassle and I ran into tons of issues, even when following guides like this. I ended up using LaunchControl to help figure things out, but will do my best to explain!Overall, the gist is that we need to create a plist file that will tell launchctl the details about our program that we want to run at launch. For me, the contents of the plist were as follows
However, both devices are disconnected when pulling the usb cable out.
As an alternate permutation: If I leave the usb connected and run step #7, scrcpy loads and then if I pull the usb - it disconnects.
scrcpy (short for "screen copy") is a free and open-source screen mirroring application that allows control of an Android device from a desktop computer.[1] The software is developed by Genymobile SAS, a company which develops Android emulator Genymotion.[2]
Setup involves enabling USB debugging on the Android device, connecting the device to the computer, and running the scrcpy application on the computer.[2] Additional configuration options, such as changing the stream bit rate or enabling screen recording, may be accessed via command line arguments.[4] The software also supports a wireless connection over Wi-Fi, but that requires more steps to set up.[5] A few features were added to scrcpy in its version 1.9 release in 2019, including the ability to turn the screen off while mirroring and to copy clipboard content between the two devices.[6]
Chris Hoffman of How-To Geek compared scrcpy to AirMirror and Vysor, two other applications with a similar function. Hoffman also pointed to Miracast as an alternative, while noting that it is no longer widely supported among new Android devices, and that it does not support remotely controlling the device.[2]
The first commit to the GitHub repository is on 12 December 2017 by Romain Vimont.[7] scrcpy v1.0 was released 3 months later which included the support for basic screen mirroring and Android remote control. The first release packaged a Windows Executable and the server.[8] The community took packaging forward and made scrcpy available for numerous Linux distributions.[9][better source needed]
i don't know u r trying to use scrcpy by using usb cable or u r trying wireless connection?
I think there is no problem when using usb cable that support transfer data, u just need to enable debug mode in ur phone.
if the problem in using scrcpy in wireless mode, u need to pair ur pc with ur phone using the command adb pair.
adb pair command not supported in the version used by zorin and scrcpy.
so the steps will be:
1- install the last adb version that support pair command
2-go to ur phone and enable wirless dubg
3-open terminal in the folder that has adb that u downloaded, and type that in terminal:
./adb pair ip address phone
4-go to ur phone and in wirless dubg u will see ur pc is paring with ur phone, get the port from the info in that filed and use it in the following commands
./adb connect 192.168.1.5:port(note: ur will use ip of ur phone and the port that u will find it in wireless debug field)
./adb tcpip port
adb connect 192.168.1.5:port(note:u will use the old version here)

If you want a nice GUI with the possibility to map keys to certain points of the screen (feature that I have yet to configure), download guiscrcpy-min-4.7.2.m.glibc2.23-x86_64.AppImage from
Smartphones are an essential part of modern life. To some people, the phone is even more important than a standard computer. A lot of people sit at computers all day, but they still have to check their phone for certain things. A new tool called "scrcpy" allows you to display your phone screen on your computer with just a USB connection and ADB. No root required.
The developer says scrcpy works on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It works by executing a server on the device. scrcpy communicates with the server via a socket over an adb tunnel. Your screen is streamed as an h.264 video, which is then decoded and displayed by scrcpy. Keyboard and mouse input is sent to the server and pushed to the device. scrcpy focuses on lightness, high-performance, high-quality, low latency, fast start-up, and non-intrusive. Here's how to get it set up.
scrcpy is a program that allows you to control any Android smartphone or tablet from your computer. Its name is the unvoweled abbreviation of \"screen copy\". It is a very light program and does not require additional apps to be installed on your smartphone.
To get started, you only need to enable USB Debugging on your Android device. After that, you go to the file explorer and open Command Prompt (CMD.exe) in the folder where you have unzipped the ZIP file. There, type \"scrcpy\" and the program will open. If you have successfully granted permission on your device, you will already see the screen in a window on the PC.
