Make scrcpy work with adb over tcpip

[h43z]

Great useful tool. Thank you. It would be really cool if the device did not have to be connected via usb.

No, 4.4.2 unfortunately. A bit ancient. Was trying to find a way to root it and upgrade Android unofficially but was proving very time-consuming.

Thanks anyway! I see that there's a fundamental compatibility issue.

Will the issue be fixes in the near future? I'm currently having a similar problem while trying to use scrcpy via adb usb on a tolino tablet running android 4.4.4 scrcpy aborts after

error: closed
ERROR: "adb reverse" returned with value 1
WARNING: 'adb reverse' failed, fallback to 'adb forward'

• connect the device through usb
• adb kill-server
• adb tcpip portNumber example: adb tcpip 5555
• adb connect ipOfDevice example adb connect 192.168.0.5 or adb connect 192.168.0.5:5555
• unplug the device from usb
• adb devices
• scrcpy -s deviceID or scrcpy -s deviceIP

this will allow scrcpy to work wirelessly

Question: Do we have to every time first connect via usb and then switch wireless or its just first time?
