For the initial connection between the device and the computer, an adb
tunnel is established (with "adb reverse" or "adb forward").
The device-side of the tunnel is a local socket having the hard-coded
name "scrcpy". This may cause issues when several scrcpy instances are
started in a few seconds for the same device, since they will try to
bind the same name.
To avoid conflicts, make the client generate a random UID, and append
this UID to the local socket name ("scrcpy_01234567").
We must distinguish 3 cases for await_for_server():
- an error occurred
- no error occurred, the device is connected
- no error occurred, the device is not connected (user requested to
quit)
For this purpose, use an additional output parameter to indicate if the
device is connected (only set when no error occurs).
Refs #3085 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/pull/3085>
If several devices are connected (as listed by `adb devices`), it was
necessary to provide the explicit serial via -s/--serial.
If only one device is connected via USB (respectively, via TCP/IP), it
might be convenient to select it automatically. For this purpose, two
new options are introduced:
- -d/--select-usb: select the single device connected over USB
- -e/--select-tcpip: select the single device connected over TCP/IP
PR #3005 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/pull/3005>
Before starting the server, the actual device serial (possibly its
ip:port if it's over TCP/IP) must be known.
A serial might be requested via -s/--serial (stored in the
sc_server_params), but the actual serial may change afterwards:
- if none is provided, then it is retrieved with "adb get-serialno";
- if --tcpip is requested, then the final serial will be the target
ip:port.
The requested serial was overwritten by the actual serial in the
sc_server_params struct, which was a bit hacky.
Instead, store a separate serial field in sc_server (and rename the one
from sc_server_params to "req_serial" to avoid confusion).
The device disconnection is detected when the video socket closes.
In order to introduce an OTG mode (HID events) without mirroring (and
without server), we must be able to detect USB device disconnection.
This feature will only be used in OTG mode.
PR #2974 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/pull/2974>
The device was automatically found by sc_usb_connect(). Instead, expose
a function to find a device from a serial, and let the caller connect to
the device found (if any).
This will allow to list all devices first, then select one device to
connect to.
PR #2974 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/pull/2974>
If --no-control is requested, then the controller instance is not
initialized. However, its reference was still passed to screen and
input_manager.
Instead, pass NULL if no controller is available.
The components should be configurable independently of the global
scrcpy_options instance: their configuration could be provided
separately, like it is the case for example for some screen parameters.
For consistency, keyboard injection should not depend on scrcpy_options.
The input_manager is strongly tied to the screen, it could not work
independently of the specific screen implementation.
To implement a user-friendly HID mouse behavior, some SDL events
will need to be handled both by the screen and by the input manager. For
example, a click must typically be handled by the input_manager so that
it is forwarded to the device, but in HID mouse mode, the first click
should be handled by the screen to capture the mouse (enable relative
mouse mode).
Make the input_manager a descendant of the screen, so that the screen
decides what to do on SDL events.
Concretely, replace this structure hierarchy:
+- struct scrcpy
+- struct input_manager
+- struct screen
by this one:
+- struct scrcpy
+- struct screen
+- struct input_manager
This avoids to directly pass the options instance (which contains more
data than strictly necessary), and limit the number of parameters for
the init function.
