The optimal initial size was computed from the expected dimensions, sent
immediately by the server before encoding any video frame.
However, the actual frame size may be different, for example when the
device encoder does not support the requested size.
To always handle this case properly, position and size the window only
once the first frame size is known.
PR #2947 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/pull/2947>
Show the window only after the actual frame size is known (and if no
error has occurred).
This will allow to properly position and size the window when the size
of the first frame is different from the size initially announced by the
server.

In relative mouse mode, the mouse pointer must be "captured" from the
computer.
Toggle (disable/enable) relative mouse mode using any of the hardcoded
capture keys:
- left-Alt
- left-Super
- right-Super
These capture keys do not conflict with shortcuts, since a shortcut is
always a combination of the MOD key and some other key, while the
capture key triggers an action only if it is pressed and released alone.
The relative mouse mode is also automatically enabled on any click in
the window, and automatically disabled on focus lost (it is possible to
lose focus even without the mouse).
The input_manager is strongly tied to the screen, it could not work
independently of the specific screen implementation.
To implement a user-friendly HID mouse behavior, some SDL events
will need to be handled both by the screen and by the input manager. For
example, a click must typically be handled by the input_manager so that
it is forwarded to the device, but in HID mouse mode, the first click
should be handled by the screen to capture the mouse (enable relative
mouse mode).
Make the input_manager a descendant of the screen, so that the screen
decides what to do on SDL events.
Concretely, replace this structure hierarchy:
+- struct scrcpy
+- struct input_manager
+- struct screen
by this one:
+- struct scrcpy
+- struct screen
+- struct input_manager
The "resize to fit" feature (MOD+w or double-click on black borders)
computed the "optimal size" using the same function computing the
initial window size on start.
However, on "resize to fit", only the black borders must be removed (the
content size must be preserved), so the display bounds must not be
considered.
To minimize latency (at the cost of jitter), scrcpy always displays a
frame as soon as it available, without waiting.
However, when recording (--record), it still writes the captured
timestamps to the output file, so that the recorded file can be played
correctly without jitter.
Some real-time use cases might benefit from adding a small latency to
compensate for jitter too. For example, few tens of seconds of latency
for live-streaming are not important, but jitter is noticeable.
Therefore, implement a buffering mechanism (disabled by default) to add
a configurable latency delay.
PR #2417 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/2417>
Currently, a frame is available to the consumer as soon as it is pushed
by the producer (which can detect if the previous frame is skipped).
Notify the new frames (and frame skipped) via callbacks instead.
This paves the way to add (optional) buffering, which will introduce a
delay between the time when the frame is produced and the time it is
available to be consumed.
When removing the black borders (by double-clicking on them, or by
pressing MOD+w), the window is resized to fit the device screen, but its
top-left position was left unchanged.
Instead, move the window so that the new window area is at the center of
the old window area.

It should not be necessary, since screen_render() is called just after
on SDL_WINDOWEVENT_EXPOSED, but in practice the window content might not
be correctly displayed on restored if a rotation occurred while
minimized.
Note that calling screen_render() twice in a row on
SDL_WINDOWEVENT_EXPOSED also "fixes" the issue.
The screen may not be destroyed immediately on close to avoid undefined
behavior, because it may still receive events from the decoder.
But the visual window must still be closed immediately.
The destruction order is important, but tricky, because the screen is
open/close by the decoder, but destroyed by scrcpy.c on the main thread.
Add assertions to guarantee that the screen is not destroyed before
being closed.
The video buffer is now an internal detail of the screen component.
Since the screen is plugged to the decoder via the frame sink trait, the
decoder does not access to the video buffer anymore.
The video buffer took ownership of the producer frame (so that it could
swap frames quickly).
In order to support multiple sinks plugged to the decoder, the decoded
frame must not be consumed by the display video buffer.
Therefore, move the producer and consumer frames out of the video
buffer, and use FFmpeg AVFrame refcounting to share ownership while
avoiding copies.
A skipped frame is detected when the producer offers a frame while the
current pending frame has not been consumed.
However, the producer (in practice the decoder) is not interested in the
fact that a frame has been skipped, only the consumer (the renderer) is.
Therefore, notify frame skip via a consumer callback. This allows to
manage the skipped and rendered frames count at the same place, and
remove fps_counter from decoder.
Video buffer is a tool between a frame producer and a frame consumer.
For now, it is used between a decoder and a renderer, but in the future
another instance might be used to swscale decoded frames.
After the struct screen is initialized, the window, the renderer and the
texture are necessarily valid, so there is no need to check in
screen_destroy().
There were only two frames simultaneously:
- one used by the decoder;
- one used by the renderer.
When the decoder finished decoding a frame, it swapped it with the
rendering frame.
Adding a third frame provides several benefits:
- the decoder do not have to wait for the renderer to release the
mutex;
- it simplifies the video_buffer API;
- it makes the rendering frame valid until the next call to
video_buffer_take_rendering_frame(), which will be useful for
swscaling on window resize.
