There is a dependency cycle in the initialization order:
- keyboard depends on controller
- controller depends on acksync
- acksync depends on keyboard initialization
To break this cycle, bind the async instance to the controller in a
second step.
PR #4473 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/pull/4473>
To allow seamless copy-paste, on Ctrl+v, a SET_CLIPBOARD request is
performed before injecting Ctrl+v.
But when HID keyboard is enabled, the Ctrl+v injection is not sent on
the same channel as the clipboard request, so they are not serialized,
and may occur in any order. If Ctrl+v happens to be injected before the
new clipboard content is set, then the old content is pasted instead,
which is incorrect.
To minimize the probability of occurrence of the wrong order, a delay of
2 milliseconds was added before injecting Ctrl+v. Then 5ms. But even
with 5ms, the wrong behavior sometimes happens.
To handle it properly, add an acknowledgement mechanism, so that Ctrl+v
is injected over AOA only after the SET_CLIPBOARD request has been
performed and acknowledged by the server.

PR #2814 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/pull/2814>
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.
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.
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.)
SDL_net is not very suitable for scrcpy.
For example, SDLNet_TCP_Accept() is non-blocking, so we have to wrap it
by calling many SDL_Net-specific functions to make it blocking.
But above all, SDLNet_TCP_Open() is a server socket only when no IP is
provided; otherwise, it's a client socket. Therefore, it is not possible
to create a server socket bound to localhost, so it accepts connections
from anywhere.
This is a problem for scrcpy, because on start, the application listens
for nearly 1 second until it accepts the first connection, supposedly
from the device. If someone on the local network manages to connect to
the server socket first, then they can stream arbitrary H.264 video.
This may be troublesome, for example during a public presentation ;-)
Provide our own simplified API (net.h) instead, implemented for the
different platforms.
