The exception is not a bug (see #994).

It executes and a white window pops up, then it closes a second later or so

Try with a lower definition:

scrcpy -m1024

If it still does not work, please provide the output of adb logcat.

log.txt

I've already tried with a lower resolution too.

adb logcat generates a 7 MB file. Do you have a preferred host for me to upload it to?

[rom1v]

Could you do some more tests to find the cause.

1. Run adb logcat in a terminal, and start scrcpy in another. When scrcpy stops, does adb logcat also terminate?
2. Try to record without display (scrcpy --record file.mkv --no-display -m 800). (Unplug the device to stop if you're on Windows.) Is the recorded file ok?
3. Try to record with adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/file.mp4 (then adb pull /sdcard/file.mp4). Is the recorded file ok?

[xreic]

1. adb logcat keep going even when scrcpy stops.
2. Recording is good.
3. Recording is good.

[rom1v]

Oh, might be a driver issue on the computer then. Could you test on another computer/system?

a white window pops up

Could you post a screenshot?

[xreic]

This is the window.

I'll test on another machine now.
It works on my laptop, while still showing that error I believe. However, using my laptop would not be optimal. I'll continue on trying to figuring out what I can do to fix this.

When I use v1.11, no error appears, but the windows does not render anything and immediately exits.

[rom1v]

while still showing that error

This is not an error (this is expected on some devices, the message will not be shown in future versions of scrcpy): #994

[xreic]

Yea I read that recently, but I'm still trying to figure out of how fix the "crashing" so I can use this on my main machine.

[rom1v]

Out of curiousity, could you test v1.9? (it uses a different SDL version)

[xreic]

No error, but it still opens then closes.

[xreic]

I didn't know why I didn't try it before, but the 32-bit version of v1.12 works (I was using the 64-bit version before). It still shows that false error, but it works. If you want me to run some more tests, then just ask.

Thanks for all your time and effort.

[rom1v]

OK good to know that this kind of problem can occur only on 32 or 64 bits 👍
