Scrcpy issues

General Help
1

Hi, I am trying to run scrcpy on Z18c

They say install it via package manager or terminal.
Afterwards. Bring your Android into "developer mode" and enable usb debugging connect to computer and the magic starts.
In my case not.

When opening scrcpy (console) I saw the error:
scrcpy could not find any adb device
A internet search told me that I should install the SDK platform tools (via package manager or terminal) and I followed this guide.

In terminal with ./adb devices I saw a device

So again, I run scrcpy (console) but now it said:
scrcpy could not invoke method
For this error I found the following: reboot your phone

Here, I am stuck. Anybody an idea?

Maybe this guide can help you:

Thanks, followed all steps, still:
ERROR: Could not invoke method

Is this helping:

Yes, a lot. Everything in that output says that scrcpy is trying to call on Android API's that do not exist: So, scrcpy 1.25 is not compatible with Android 16.

That is strange, as I downloaded scrcpy v3.3.4
Already with scrcpy v3.3.3 they wrote

Fix immediate error after new Android 16 upgrade

I guess I will try this tonight scrcpy/doc/linux.md at master · Genymobile/scrcpy · GitHub
where they write:

  • Debian/Ubuntu: apt install scrcpy (obsolete version)

Once connected via USB cable, it is necessary to also enable
file transfer to make it run.

EDIT: apparently start via Terminal works best (have not yet tried via start menu)

Having followed that way, it worked today for me.
…
All because there is a cycling app (MyWhoosh) which either runs on Microslop/Mac/Android but they provide not an .exe file, so install via Wine/Bottles was not possible. And only for the download to create a Microslop account was not my desire ...
