The record file was written from the stream thread. As a consequence,
any blocking I/O to write the file delayed the decoder.
For maximum performance even when recording is enabled, send
(refcounted) packets to a separate recording thread.
To packetize the H.264 raw stream, av_parser_parse2() (called by
av_read_frame()) knows that it has received a full frame only after it
has received some data for the next frame. As a consequence, the client
always waited until the next frame before sending the current frame to
the decoder!
On the device side, we know packets boundaries. To reduce latency,
make the device always transmit the "frame meta" to packetize the stream
manually (it was already implemented to send PTS, but only enabled on
recording).
On the client side, replace av_read_frame() by manual packetizing and
parsing.

If --no-control is set, then the controller is not initialized (both in
the client and the server), so it is not possible to control the device
to turn its screen off.
See <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/608>.
In portable builds, scrcpy-server.jar was supposed to be present in the
current directory, so in practice it worked only if scrcpy was launched
from its own directory.
Instead, find the absolute path of the executable and build a suitable
path to use scrcpy-server.jar from the same directory.
There was already utf8_to_wide_char(), used to correctly execute
commands on Windows.
Add the reverse converter: utf8_from_wide_char(). We will need it to
build the scrcpy-server path based on the executable directory.
To create a portable build (with scrcpy-server.jar accessible from the
scrcpy directory), replace OVERRIDE_SERVER_PATH by a simple compilation
flag: PORTABLE.
This paves the way to use more complex rules to determine the path of
scrcpy-server.jar in portable builds.
On socket disconnection, on Linux, recv() returns -1 and errno is set.
But on Windows, errno is 0.
In that case, AVERROR(errno) == 0, leading to the warning:
> Invalid return value 0 for stream protocol
To avoid the problem, if errno is 0, return AVERROR_EOF.

The FPS counter was called only on new frames, so it could not print
values regularly, especially when there are very few FPS (when the
device surface does not change).
To the extreme, it was never able to display 0 fps.
Add a separate thread to print framerate every second.
Only keep "turn device screen off" and POWER button.
After we turn the device screen off (with Ctrl+o), turning it back on
does not always work, and leaves the device in a weird state, where even
the power button may not be sufficient:
<https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/175#issuecomment-497946596>
This is not an acceptable behavior, so disable the shortcut to turn the
physical device screen on. We can use the POWER button (or Ctrl+p)
instead.
The condition "event->type == SDL_KEYDOWN" and the variable
input_manager->controller are used many times. Replace them by local
variables to reduce verbosity.
Add two shortcuts:
- Ctrl+o to turn the device screen off while mirroring
- Ctrl+Shift+o to turn it back on
On power on (either via the POWER key or BACK while screen is off), both
the device screen and the mirror are turned on.

After the recent refactorings, a "control event" is not necessarily an
"event" (it may be a "command"). Similarly, the unique "device event"
used to send the device clipboard content is more a "reponse" to the
request from the client than an "event".
Rename both to "message", and rename the message types to better
describe their intent.
It was already possible to _paste_ (with Ctrl+v) the content of the
computer clipboard on the device. Technically, it injects a sequence of
events to generate the text.
Add a new feature (Ctrl+Shift+v) to copy to the device clipboard
instead, without injecting the content. Contrary to events injection,
this preserves the UTF-8 content exactly, so the text is not broken by
special characters.
<https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/413>
On Ctrl+C:
- the client sends a GET_CLIPBOARD command to the device;
- the device retrieve its current clipboard text and sends it in a
GET_CLIPBOARD device event;
- the client sets this text as the system clipboard text, so that it
can be pasted in another application.
Fixes <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/145>
The socket used the device-to-computer direction to stream the video and
the computer-to-device direction to send control events.
Some features, like copy-paste from device to computer, require to send
non-video data from the device to the computer.
To make them possible, use two sockets:
- one for streaming the video from the device to the client;
- one for control/events in both directions.
A string is serialized as a length (2 bytes) followed by the string data
(non nul-terminated).
For now, it is used only once, but we will need to serialize strings in
other events.
Several commands were grouped under the same event type "command", with
a separate field to indicate the actual command.
Move these commands at the same level as other control events. It will
allow to implement commands with arguments.
The cleanup is not linear: for example, the server must be stopped and
its sockets must be shutdown after the stream and controller are stopped
(so that they don't continue processing garbage), but before they are
joined, to avoid a deadlock if they are blocked on a socket read.
Simplify the spaghetti-cleanup by keeping trace of initialization at
runtime.
Compositor bypass is meant for fullscreen games consuming lots of GPU

The serialized text is not nul-terminated (its size is explicitely
provided), but the input text in the event is a nul-terminated string.
The test was failing with ASAN enabled.
Replace the "global" control flag in the input_manager by a function
parameter to make explicit that the behavior depends whether
--no-control has been set.
The SDL video subsystem is not necessary if we don't display the video.
Move the sdl_init_and_configure() function from screen.c to scrcpy.c,
because it is not only related to the screen display.
The function video_buffer_offer_decoded_frame() returned a bool to
indicate whether the previous frame had been consumed.
This was confusing, because we could expect the returned bool report
whether the action succeeded.
Make the semantic explicit by using an output parameter.
Also revert the flag (report if the frame has been skipped instead of
consumed) to avoid confusion for the first frame (the previous is
neither skipped nor consumed because there is no previous frame).
The description of scrcpy is "Display and control your Android device".
We want an option to disable display, another one to disable control.
For naming consistency, name it --no-display.
Also change the shortname to -N, so that we can use -n for --no-control
later.
Limit source code to 80 chars, and declare functions return type and
modifiers on a separate line.
This allows to avoid very long lines, and all function names are
aligned.
(We do this on VLC, and I like it.)
The decoder initially read from the socket, decoded the video and sent
the decoded frames to the screen:
+---------+ +----------+
socket ---> | decoder | ---> | screen |
+---------+ +----------+
The design was simple, but the decoder had several responsabilities.
Then we added the recording feature, so we added a recorder, which
reused the packets received from the socket managed by the decoder:
+----------+
---> | screen |
+---------+ / +----------+
socket ---> | decoder | ----
+---------+ \ +----------+
---> | recorder |
+----------+
This lack of separation of concerns now have concrete implications: we
could not (properly) disable the decoder/display to only record the
video.
Therefore, split the decoder to extract the stream:
+----------+ +----------+
---> | decoder | ---> | screen |
+---------+ / +----------+ +----------+
socket ---> | stream | ----
+---------+ \ +----------+
---> | recorder |
+----------+
This will allow to record the stream without decoding the video.
The order of cleanup was not the reverse as the initialization order. As
a consequence, recorder_destroy() could theoretically be called even if
recorder_init() failed.
The deprecated avcodec_decode_video2() should always the whole packet,
so there is no need to loop (cf doc/examples/demuxing_decoding.c in
FFmpeg).
This hack changed the packet size and data pointer. This broke recording
which used the same packet.
The extradata buffer is owned by libav, so it must be allocated with
av_malloc(), not SDL_malloc().
This fixes a crash on Windows during avformat_free_context().
Windows does not support UTF-8, so pushing a file with non-ASCII
characters failed.
Convert the UTF-8 command line to a wide characters string and call
CreateProcessW().

Implement recording to Matroska files.
The format to use is determined by the option -F/--record-format if set,
or by the file extension (".mp4" or ".mkv").
Some containers force their own time base. For example, matroska
overwrite time_base to (AVRational) {1, 1000}.
Therefore, rescale our packet timestamps to the output stream time base.

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>.
Never create a "struct point" with a position possibly outside the
device screen (i.e. in the black borders area), and do not transmit such
events.
This fixes an assertion failure on mouse wheel events outside the device
screen area.
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.
Several frames may be read by read_packet() before they are consumed
(returned by av_read_frame()), so we need to store the PTS of frames in
order, so that the right PTS is assigned to the right frame.
AVStream.codec has been deprecated in favor of AVStream.codecpar.
Due to the FFmpeg/Libav split, this happened in two separate versions:
- 57.33.100 for FFmpeg
- 57.5.0 for Libav
This partially reverts commit f00c6c5b13.
On Ctrl+C, we need to execute cleanup code. For instance, if recording
is enabled, we need to write MP4 file trailer on exit.
Custom SDL signal handlers were disabled because it leaded to process
hanging on Ctrl+C during network calls on initialization, but now it
seems to work correctly, the network calls return immediately on signal.
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.
The PTS was read from the socket and set as the current one even before
the frame was consumed, so it could be assigned to the previous frame
"in advance".
Store the PTS for the current frame and the last PTS read from the
packet header of the next frame in separate fields.
As a side-effect, this fixes the warning on quit:
> Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to
> muxer in stream 0: 17164020 >= 17164020
To handle special chars, text is handled as text input instead of key
events. However, this breaks the separation of DOWN and UP key events.
As a compromise, send letters and space as key events, to preserve
original DOWN/UP events, but send other text input events as text, to be
able to send "special" characters.

The current_process field was never reset after an installation is
complete. As a consequence, installer_stop() attempted to terminate it,
leading to a warning, at best.
In the Android input header file, an enum has a value taking more than
31 bits, leading to the following warning:
ISO C restricts enumerator values to range of ‘int’
Since we don't use it, remove it.
A missing initialization (fixed by the previous commit) leaded to kill
unexpected process.
In order to prevent consequences of similar errors in the future, never
call kill() with a non-positive PID.
See <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/182>.
The current_process field of struct installer was not initialized.
Since the installer instance is static, its default value was 0.
The call to installer_stop() then called kill(0, SIGTERM) (on Linux),
which sent SIGTERM to every process in the process group. In particular,
the scrcpy process was killed.
As a consequence, the last cleanup steps, like disabling "show touches",
were not executed.

On Windows, an application is either console or gui, it cannot be both.
Scrcpy should be both: it outputs important information to console, but

- scrcpy.exe
- scrcpy-noconsole.exe
Build the Windows binary from mingw on Linux, using the official
prebuilt binaries for ffmpeg, SDL2 and adb.
MSYS2 and all its packaged dll are not necessary anymore.
