The vendor rom calls an internal "Sky-something", which fails.

Could you please post your framework.jar?

adb pull /system/framework/framework.jar

May 14 '24 10:05 rom1v

framework.jar.zip Here's the framework.jar

Thanks

May 15 '24 01:05 Kimi1860

Hi, I've post the framework.jar. Just wonder if there's any chance that my devices could be available to connect with this.

May 17 '24 03:05 Kimi1860

It's weird, your framework.jar is almost empty, it doesn't contains the expected classes.

The OS provider is called Coocaa, maybe they did some tricks reconstructed the framework

Same issue. Also happen at Skyworth TV, Looks like it's common issue on Skyworth TV

My Skyworth Coocaa TV is the same issue.I tried to downgrade to scrcpy v1.19 and resolved the issue.But its maximum resolution can only be set to 1920 x 1080, and its HDMI channel is black screen (appears to have DRM protection?)

I tried to downgrade to scrcpy v1.19 and resolved the issue.

With the latest version, does it work if you disable audio (scrcpy --no-audio)? What is the exact error you get (the full console output)?

I just tried, but this error still persists.

Between 1.19 and 1.20, this is probably due to this commit 8df42cec82cb5856e6c10a4089e6b2953310da6e.

Oh in your case, the manufacturer is still skyworth, but the brand is Coocaa. Let's test the manufacturer instead:
