Quest 2

[rzzza]

I'm trying to get this working on the Quest 2 but unable to click the "start now" button within the headset. Is there anyway around this?

[emersonbf]

I have the same problem. Any solution ?

[KptnKMan]

Also trying to make this work on Quest/Quest2, does anyone have any advice?

I have scrcpy working without issues with this command:

PS C:\Programs\scrcpy> .\scrcpy.exe --crop 1600:900:2017:510 -b 8000000 --max-fps 60 --max-size 0 -n --window-title "Scrcpy Stream" -s 192.168.1.129:5555
INFO: scrcpy 1.11 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>
C:\Programs\scrcpy\scrcpy-server: 1 file pushed. 1.9 MB/s (25454 bytes in 0.012s)
INFO: Initial texture: 1600x896

Then I can see my Quest 2 stream.

With sndcpyI don't get a prompt, or anything. I get this:

PS C:\Programs\sndcpy> .\sndcpy 192.168.1.129:5555
Waiting for device 192.168.1.129:5555...

Warning: Activity not started because the  current activity is being kept for the user.
Press Enter once audio capture is authorized on the device to start playing...

I press Enter, and get this:

Playing audio...
The system cannot find the path specified.

Further to that, the Oculus device specs page doesn't list what version of Android the Quest 1 / Quest 2 is running.

A thread on Reddit reports (A year ago, as of this writing) it as:

Android 7.1.1
kernel: 4.4.21 -perf+
Security patch level: July 28 2018

As sndcpy states that it requires Android 10, is this a hard limitation?

[rzzza]

Quest 2 is running Android 10

Good to know, I wanted to verify what was happening so I poked around using ABD commands. I got all the ADB build info remotely:

So after some more poking around, I got the prompt to work! Unfortunately, when the prompt appears, the screen is blank for all casting and scrcpy. So I took a picture through the lens with my phone:

This seems like its almost there. I can't seem to scroll down to hit the "Start Now" button. Does anyone know a way to confirm it (While using touch controllers)?

@rom1v Do you have any advice?

Edit: I can scroll down, but the button does not show still. Any other way to confirm?

[Sp00nb0b-cyber]

i have that same issue, i just cant get the button, be great for a work around

[KptnKMan]

Does anyone know if this prompt is part of the Android 10 OS or is this part of sndcpy?

Is it possible to remove the prompt or have a --confirm flag on sndcpy?

[rom1v]

Does anyone know if this prompt is part of the Android 10 OS or is this part of sndcpy?

Android.

[KptnKMan]

Thanks @rom1v I appreciate the answer. I think I found the code here to manage this prompt: https://github.com/rom1v/sndcpy/blob/f0995ca4d0002ef288c74c70d4c0eb48354449d5/app/src/main/java/com/rom1v/sndcpy/MainActivity.java#L16-L27

In your opinion, is it possible to auto-approve that request?

[rom1v]

The whole point of this code is to request the permission to the system (which requests to the user to accept by opening a dialog).

So it's not possible to accept programmatically from the Android app which requests the permissions (or the user permission mechanism would be severely flawed).

However, it's probably possible to click on "accept" by injecting keyboard events (with scrcpy for example) or using UIAutomator (started with shell rights).

Yeah I totally understand that functionality, and its intent of course, just trying to find a workaround that will work with Oculus Touch controllers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

However, it's probably possible to click on "accept" by injecting keyboard events (with scrcpy for example) or using UIAutomator (started with shell rights).

Do you know the keyboard command required? Is it just an Enter command, or some particular key its expecting?

I can try test the scrcpy method and see if that works. I also see that UIAutomator uses ADB transparently, so I can poke around with that also.

[rom1v]

(By UIAutomator, I was referring to https://developer.android.com/training/testing/ui-automator)

[KptnKMan]

Oh sorry, thanks for the link, I'll take a look.

[omeryagmurlu]

I've managed to confirm the prompt using a bluetooth keyboard. Connect your keyboard through experimental features and when you get the prompt press the windows button. It cuts out all the audio from the quest but I was still unable to get any sound from my computer. It just says playing audio and quits

edit: I get the same behaviour with my s9 plus too, so it's probably something I'm doing wrong. I'll edit this after I figure out what's wrong. It works on my other android devices now, so that was not the culprit After confirming the prompt and pressing enter in the terminal, sndcpy displays Playing audio... and after 2 seconds quits. Strange thing here is that after confirming the prompt, quest's sound cuts off and doesn't come back till I change the volume level.

[Taeronwastaken]

Ive got the .bat file and then i open it while scrcpy is running. I am able to close the the prompt and when i do, the bat closes and no audio. Is this a clue to help the situation?

Hi, but trying to troubleshoot Quest2 issue of sndcpy got following error messages in logcat:

sndcpy app asked for permission and I was able to confirm it (unlike the similar post above). But when I try to connect to it using VLC, no data was received over the TCP socket, and the above error is logged in the Quest log.

Any idea how to allow additional permission for this app to be able to start recording?

[hlavavit]

About the confirming of said permission, had same issue. I found a solution and posted it here https://forums.oculusvr.com/t5/Oculus-Quest-Development/Problem-with-MediaProjection-and-permission-dialog/m-p/874818#M3307

basicly oculus screws up the dialog if it is shown from regulard activity, it must be from VR activity (fullscreen)

[lividhen]

I'm getting an issue where after running sndcpy.bat, inside the quest it says "sndcpy keeps stopping". Running "adb logcat | grep sndcpy" gives me this:

I'm hitting the same problems on my Oculus Quest too, although it is on Android 10

I'm getting the following stacktrace from adb logcat;

Hello everyone. Did you guys managed to make sndcpy to work with a Meta Quest 2? Thanks!
