OTG over tcpip mode

[oyekanwahab]

• [x] I have checked that a similar feature request does not already exist.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have been using scrcpy for a very long time, all my phones are always rooted, so I always use scrcpy with tcpip, I just discovered that there is an otg mode, which is only accessible with USB

Describe the solution you'd like Is it possible to enable this mode on tcpip mode, since the ADB daemon is not being used by the USB on tcpip mode?

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

No because we can only send HID events on Android using the AOA protocol (over USB).

[oyekanwahab]

ok. I was thinking that it was using ADB

I was thinking you wanted to implement what Deskdock was doing using ADB for mouse and keyboard input

[twaik]

Actually it is possible with root + uinput.

[oyekanwahab]

I have a root device, can you show me how

[twaik]

It will require a lot of modifications inside scrcpy. This case can not be handled in easy way.

[oyekanwahab]

Are you able to get it to work yourself

@rom1v it seems like uinput works fine over ADB TCPIP connection. I can work with https://github.com/Blub/netevent tool cross-compiled to aarch64 with all devices except Xiaomi. I think it can be used to implement capturing PC's keyboard and mouse.

[rom1v]

Since this issue, UHID mode has been implemented: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/keyboard.md#uhid And the feature to control the device without video playback has been added recently (on dev branch): https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/pull/4868

[twaik]

What about emulating mouse this way?

[rom1v]

Mouse is also implemented.

https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/mouse.md#uhid

[twaik]

You are right, keyboard works after installing last version from release page. But for some reason mouse does not work. I mean cursor is intercepted, but I do not see it on screen. Also clicks make some weird action I can not really identify. Phone reacts like I swipe up.

[rom1v]

but I do not see it on screen

On some devices, the cursor is not displayed on lock screen.

Does it work on the home screen? (run scrcpy -M)

[twaik]

It does not.

[twaik]

Should I record a video?
