possible to disable controls

[sai-tirunagiri]

Hi,

On scrcpy there is a flag, --no-control which will disable controls (everything which can interact with the device: input keys, mouse events, etc), is it available on ws-scrcpy or any ideas on how to go about it.

Thanks

Hi.

Unlike the original server in scrcpy, server from my fork always accepts control events from users.

Here is the code responsible for handling events: https://github.com/NetrisTV/scrcpy/blob/6b510b71a8433ad15f17318c7ad78b1619959af0/server/src/main/java/com/genymobile/scrcpy/WSServer.java#L130-L131

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

user 1 : using device user 2: can only view screen and will not have access to control it and also user-2 should see a tag in device-list page as busy or in-use.

No, nothing has changed. In my case I need everyone to be able to control a device. It will take a lot of work to implement this properly, not breaking it for me.

can you please suggest any other way to achieve this?

You can change server side to process control messages only from the first client if there are more than one.

• add a flag to SocketInfo class
• in WebSocketConnection.join() if sockets is empty then set the flag
• check the flag in WSServer.onMessage() and process messages only from sockets with the flag
• reassing the flag to a next socket on WebSocketConnection.leave() when leaving socket had the flag
