Common issues
The application is very young, it is not unlikely that you encounter problems with it.
Here are the common reported problems and their status.
On Windows, I have no output in the console
When run in cmd.exe, the application does not print anything. Even scrcpy --help have no output. We don't know why yet.
However, if you run the very same scrcpy.exe from
MSYS2 (mingw64), then it correctly prints output.
On Windows, when I start the application, nothing happens
The previous problem does not help to get a clue about the cause.
The most common is your device not being detected by adb, or is unauthorized.
Check everything is ok by calling:
adb devices
Windows may need some drivers to detect your device.
If you still encounter problems, please see issue 9.
I get a black screen for some applications like Silence
This is expected, they requested to protect the screen.
In Silence, you can disable it in settings → Privacy → Screen security.
See issue 36.
Mouse clicks at wrong location
On MacOS, with HiDPI support and multiple screens, input location are wrongly scaled. See issue 15.
A workaround is to build with HiDPI support disabled:
meson x --buildtype release -Dhidpi_support=false
However, the video will be displayed at lower resolution.
