To clean up the device, the client executed "adb shell rm" once the
server was guaranteed to be started (after the connection succeeded).
This implied to track whether the installation state, and failed if an
additional tunnel was used in "forward" mode:
<https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/386#issuecomment-453936034>
Instead, make the server unlink itself on start.
Mouse events position were unsigned (so negative values could not be
handled properly).
To avoid issues with negative values, mouse events outside the device
screen were ignored (commit a7fe9ad779).
But as a consequence, drag&drop were "broken" if the "drop" occurred
outside the device screen.
Instead, use signed 32-bits to store the position, and forward events
outside the device screen.
Fixes <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/357>.
The client passes parameters to the server via "adb shell" arguments.
Use "-" instead of "" when no crop is specified to avoid empty
arguments, which are not handled the same way on all devices.
Fixed <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/337>.
Configuration packets produced by MediaCodec have no valid PTS, and do
not produce frame. Do not queue their (invalid) PTS not to break the
matching between frames and their PTS.
Since PTS handling has been fixed, the recorder do not associate a PTS
to a wrong frame anymore, so PTS of "configuration packets" (which never
produce a frame), are never read by the recorder. Therefore, there is no
need to ignore them explicitly, so we can remove the MediaCodec flags
completely.
In "adb forward" mode, close the server socket as soon as the client is
connected.
Even if unlikely to be useful, it allows to run several instances of
scrcpy also in "adb forward" mode.
"adb reverse" currently does not work over tcpip (i.e. on a device
connected by "adb connect"):
<https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37066218>
To work around the problem, if the call to "adb reverse" fails, then
fallback to "adb forward", and reverse the client/server roles.
Keep the "adb reverse" mode as the default because it does not involve
connection retries: when using "adb forward", the client must try to
connect successively until the server listens.
Due to the tunnel, every connect() will succeed, so the client must
attempt to read() to detect a connection failure. For this purpose, when
using the "adb forward" mode, the server initially writes a dummy byte,
read by the client.
Fixes <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/5>.
The codec only supports dimensions which are multiple of 8.
Thus, when --max-size is specified, the value is always rounded down to
the nearest multiple of 8.
However, it was wrongly assumed that the physical size is always a
multiple of 8. To support such devices, also round down the physical
screen dimensions.
Fixes <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/39>.
The text input control_event was initially designed for mapping
SDL_TextInputEvent, limited to 32 characters.
For simplicity, the copy/paste feature was implemented using the same
control_event: it just sends the text to paste.
However, the pasted text might have a length breaking some assumptions:
- on the client, the event max-size was smaller than the text
max-length,
- on the server, the raw buffer storing the events was smaller than the
max event size.
Fix these inconsistencies, and encode the length on 2 bytes, to accept
more than 256 characters.
Fixes <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/10>.
Paste computer clipboard to the device on Ctrl+v.
The other direction (pasting the device clipboard to the computer) is
not implemented. It would require a communication channel from the
device to the computer, other than the socket used by the video stream.
No exception was thrown on EOF, so the event controller did not
terminate. This leaded to a further InvocationTargetException.
Instead, terminate the event controller on EOF, so that the process
terminates properly.
Expose a 'prebuilt_server' option to pass the path of the prebuilt
binary, so that the build does not require Android SDK.
Usage:
meson builddir -Dprebuilt_server=/tmp/my_prebuilt_server.jar
The custom target used to invoke Gradle from Meson should always
be built, otherwise, the server would not be rebuilt on source changes.
However, when enabling "build_always", gradle is invoked as root on
"sudo ninja install" after "ninja", so it downloads the whole Gradle
world into /root/.gradle.
To avoid the problem, just do not call gradle if the effective user id
is 0.
The client was built with Meson, the server with Gradle, and were run by
a Makefile.
Add a Meson script for the server (which delegates to Gradle), and a
parent script to build and install both the client and the server to the
system, typically with:
meson --buildtype release build
cd build
ninja
sudo ninja install
In addition, use a separate Makefile to build a "portable" version of
the application (where the client expects the server to be in the
current directory). Typically:
make release-portable
cd dist/scrcpy
./scrcpy
This is especially useful for Windows builds, which are not "installed".
Characters like 'é' or 'î' are not resolved by getEvents(). For example,
getEvents("é") returns null.
However, it is possible to decompose them. For example,
getEvents("\u0301e") returns the events generating "é".
Thank you Philippe! ;)
In handleEvent(), connection.receiveControlEvent() may never return
null: either it returns a valid ControlEvent, either it throws an
Exception.
Therefore, there is no need to propagate a flag to indicate whether it
returned a valid ControlEvent.
On some devices, we can reuse the same codec and display, but on some
others (e.g. Nexus 5X with Android 7.1.2), it crashes on codec.stop()
with an IllegalStateException.
Therefore, always recreate the codec and display, so that it works on
all devices.
