No scrcpy start-up

[PavanLuca]

When I run scrcpy nothing happens, either phone plugged with USB debugging enabled or unplugged. I realized I can't even use it with the phone I need scrcpy as it has Android 4.4.2 (the problem is always being so strict about compatibility) but scrcpy can be useful for my other devices if only works. It's a kind of issue I had on other games, I double-click the shortcut/click taskbar shortcut and nothing happens. On a game I had the support to run it and it was told me to run a terminal command to install a folder with necessary stuff (dependencies) so looks like I need the same. Also, I'd tell you scrcpy version but as the OS software center (GNOME Software) is good rubbish it can't load software info page (frequent issue though, with some nice others more).

What is the output in the console when you run scrcpy from a terminal?

[PavanLuca]

I should have thought about running it on terminal before 🤦.

luca@Asus:~$ scrcpy
scrcpy 1.25 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
ERROR: Could not find any ADB device
ERROR: Server connection failed

Well, maybe later I try running scrcpy again with my phone plugged, it's not supported but I should see it run anyway or show an error, for now looks like it doesn't start or misses of dependencies, I'll try again and see what happens.

I hope that when I plug an Android 5 or above scrcpy works as intended otherwise I have nothing to do for it.

It could not work on Android 4, that's why you get these errors.

By the way, note that the latest version is 2.0.

[PavanLuca]

Ah, well, I installed what GNOME Software had so I don't know, I see no 2.0 there. But as soon as my other phone with Android 8.1 decides to work I'll try this app, thanks.
