scrcpy failed to start from adborc

[KostyaM]

Tried to execute command adborc consumer scrcpy deviceId. However got an error:

Screen mirroring failed: Could not start scrcpy: Scrcpy server failed to start: 2023-03-03 17:12:20.255 scrcpy[28358:144649] ERROR: Command not found: [adb], [start-server]

Tried several fixes:

1. added adb to $PATH variable. Now it accessible as a command from console
2. tried to run just scrcpy command and Wow it works and sees my device connected remotely, however won't start the screen mirroring too. That means that my scrcpy installed can execute adb commands.

Can someone explain, what could it be please?

ENV
adborc version: v0.1.0
scrcpy version 1.25

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41
Version 34.0.0-9570255

consumer/marketmaker - macos m1
supplier - windows 10
device Android 7.1.1

Can you try to set the environment variable ADB pointing to the adb executable and then running adborc consumer scrcpy <deviceId>. So you might have to do the following:

$ export ADB=/some/path/to/adb
$ adborc consumer scrcpy <deviceid>

Let me know if this works and I will add a fix for it in the next release.

[KostyaM]

Yes, it helped. 🙏 Thank you so much.

However there is another problem. I don't know is it with your connection or with scrcpy. When I minimize scrcpy preview window I am not able to see it again on Mac - only a poor console with logs.

[mobi-nex]

Can you copy paste the logs seen on the console?

Can you copy paste the logs seen on the console?

This is all I have from scrcpy console

please, tell what logs should I send to you?

Does seem like a scrcpy issue, but I don't have a mac M1 to reproduce the issue and confirm. I will try to get hold of one. Meanwhile, if possible, can you try to connect a device to your mac and directly running scrcpy without adborc. If scrcpy runs and the same issue is seen it might be helpful to check existing issues on the scrcpy project.

[KostyaM]

This is definitely not a problem with standard scrcpy (Just tried this via normal wire connection). It looks like that in your case the process of scrcpy just killed when it goes background

[mobi-nex]

Ah. Thanks for trying this out. I will create a separate issue for this and try to get it fixed before next release.
