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>
The current video buffer only stores one pending frame.
In order to add a new buffering feature, move this part to a separate
"frame buffer". Keep the video_buffer, which currently delegates all its
calls to the frame_buffer.
It makes sense to extract default values for bitrate and port range
(which are arbitrary and might be changed in the future).
However, the default values for "max size" and "lock video orientation"
are naturally unlimited/unlocked, and will never be changed. Extracting
these options just added complexity for no benefit, so hardcode them.
Accept a range of ports to listen to, so that it does not fail if
another instance of scrcpy is currently starting.
The range can be passed via the command line:
scrcpy -p 27183:27186
scrcpy -p 27183 # implicitly 27183:27183, as before
The default is 27183:27199.
Closes#951 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/951>
The platform-specific code for net.c was implemented in sys/*/net.c.
But the differences are quite limited, so use ifdef-blocks in the single
net.c instead.
We need several FIFO queues (a queue of packets, a queue of messages,
etc.).
Some of them are implemented using cbuf, a generic circular buffer. But
for recording, we need to store the packets in an unbounded queue until
they are written, so the queue was implemented manually.
Create a generic implementation (using macros) to avoid reimplementing
it every time.
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.
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.
