Does not start on realme 8 (RMX3241)

[lordofscripts]

Phone: realme 8 5G Android: 13 OpenGL: 2.1

Setup:

• Developer Options are enabled.
• enabled USB debugging.
• Default USB configuration: USB Thethering.
• Disable permission monitoring: enabled.

At first I was getting a Java Exception about not being able to set something. I went to Developer Options | Apps and enabled "Disable permission monitoring". After that the error disappeared.

However, SCRCPY still doesn't work. The first thing that happens after launching scrcpy is that my phone's screen goes black. And the errors I see are these:

/usr/local/share/scrcpy/scrcpy-server: 1 file pushed. 7.6 MB/s (71200 bytes in 0.009s)
[server] INFO: Device: [realme] realme RMX3241 (Android 13)
WARN: Trilinear filtering disabled (OpenGL 3.0+ or ES 2.0+ required)
[server] INFO: Device screen turned off
WARN: Device disconnected
scrcpy 2.7 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>
INFO: ADB device found:

INFO: Renderer: opengl
INFO: OpenGL version: 2.1 Mesa 20.3.5

But it doesn't launch anything, even after I take the phone, turn the screen on again and click on Allow authorization (to use debugging with that host).

Update #1: I started adb logcat in another terminal window and it vomited a lot of stuff. Then it stopped output but was still running/active.

Then I ran scrcpy in another terminal. It outputted the info above with the WARN: device disconnected. And following that both adb instances stopped.

Update #2: Finally got it working!

It started to work by not using the GUI shortcut, and instead start the tool like this:

scrcpy --max-size 1024

The log didn't show any error or exception hinting that though, but I decided to try it and it worked!.

You reported the issue on the wrong repo (gnirehtet vs scrcpy).

Btw, you can also try with another encoder: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/video.md#encoder

Any particular encoder you recommend other than the default?

And thanks for pointing me to the correct repository. I just reported my scrolling issue there.

Just test them all to see if they have the same buggy behavior (not starting, but blocked without reporting an error).
