that's all i got 2 device Redmi note 4x (it's work perfectly) Redmi note 10 Pro (as the error above)

EDIT by @rom1v: It looks like a bug in MIUI 13. You'll have to wait until Xiaomi fixes the issue.

[rom1v]

EDIT: for new users, please ignore this comment, it was just an initial test to investigate the issue.

I added some logs. Could you replace this binary in v1.23 please, and post the output:

OK, thanks, that's what I thought.

So the encoder is able to produce one frame, then it fails… :( Maybe I should revert 2eb6fe7d81c15912a2252f229d317ae03f618a33.

Does it work if you execute scrcpy -m1024?

still same got error lol.. i tried to change encoder to

    --encoder 'c2.android.avc.encoder'
    --encoder 'OMX.google.h264.encoder' 

but it's freeze frame

[rom1v]

Does it work with screenrecord:

adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/file.mp4
adb pull /sdcard/file.mp4

?

EDIT: fixed.

is it right? or im too dumb on this command? ahhahaha i put the adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/file.mp4 1st

then nothing happen and i put adb pull /sdcard/file.mp4 on next

anyway its pull the file, i can see file.mp4 on the folder

[rom1v]

anyway its pull the file, i can see file.mp4 on the folder

And it is correct? You can play it?

[Crusnik05]

yes i can play it without problem

[rom1v]

What's its resolution? Any logs when you record with screenrecord in your console?

If you reduce the definition even more?

scrcpy -m400

?

For some reason, your device encoder fails with the parameters scrcpy uses for encoding.

it's so sad on Redmi Note 10 Pro after update hahaha

[rom1v]

You can play with the encoder settings: see https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/2819#issuecomment-976380273

Maybe you'll find what parameter your device does not like.

[jtrogdon-pre]

I have something similar when I try to mirror one of my Android devices:

[Hosam11]

same issue after update to android 12, any update?

[XLave]

I'm having the same issues in Redmi Note 10 Pro after updating to MIUI 13 and Android 12, any fixes found?

EDIT: changing the encoder works: --encoder 'OMX.google.h264.encoder' EDIT2: you can control the phone but it freezes on PC screen.

[Solat-Ali]

I am having the same issue on Redmi Note 10, MIUI 13 and Android 12... I just downloaded the Win64 "zip" version from release section, connected USB cable and opened "scrcpy-noconsole.vbs". It shows the screen for 1 second and as soon as I interact, it closes out.

Checking the "scrcpy-console.bat" file gave me the exact same error as OP as well. Here's the screenshot:

[rom1v]

Probably a bug in their custom ROM (for Android 12). Scrcpy works fine with other Android 12 devices.

me redmi note 10(mojit) xiaomi.eu miui13 also the same , cant use scrcpy anymore ..

[XLave]

It seems a lot of people are having issues with the encoder lately and can't use scrcpy anymore. Hope the author finds a fix.

[rom1v]

Hope the author finds a fix.

I have currently no device with this ROM to reproduce, but I think the fix is to wait for Xiaomi to fix the bug in the latest version of their custom rom. :/

What's sad about this is it's gonna take months before this gets fixed for RN10/Xiaomi users haha. Understandable on your side tho. Thanks for the efforts!

As I said in another comment, this is happening to me right now on my Xiaomi Mi A1 but not with MUI. I'm using LineageOS 18.1 (android 11) on this device. Before, on the same device, but with LineageOS 16.1 (android 9), it was working fine.

I don't know if, and how, this information would help tho

Ok, I don't know if I'm doing it well with github (not used on commenting here), but I'm managed to make it work.

I notice that, when using another encoder, scrcpy would just stop executing itself without any error :

scrcpy --encoder OMX.qcom.video.encoder.avc

Gave me this :

scrcpy 1.23 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy> C:\XXX\scrcpy-win64-v1.... file pushed, 0 skipped. 51.4 MB/s (41123 bytes in 0.001s) [server] INFO: Device: Xiaomi Mi A1 (Android 11) INFO: Renderer: direct3d INFO: Initial texture: 1080x1920

But nothing else.

But if I run scrcpy again (without any command parameter, just clicking scrcpy.exe) while the other instance is running, it works perfectly fine ! I have no idea why, but maybe that could help someone here.

I have the same problem, aunt. I hope to be able to solve it soon. Thanks for the application is very good to be free

[vielavlrs]

Just like what I said in the issue I opened prior to this, using scrcpy --encoder 'OMX.google.h264.encoder' works for a few frames then hangs. Is there anyway to refresh the frames every n seconds? I tried opening in Vysor and whenever I change the resolution, the frozen frame updates
