### I get an error "Could not open video stream"
There may be many reasons. One common cause is that the hardware encoder of your
device is not able to encode at the given definition:
```
ERROR: Exception on thread Thread[main,5,main]
android.media.MediaCodec$CodecException: Error 0xfffffc0e
...
Exit due to uncaughtException in main thread:
ERROR: Could not open video stream
INFO: Initial texture: 1080x2336
```
Just try with a lower definition:
```
scrcpy -m 1920
scrcpy -m 1024
scrcpy -m 800
```
