SCRCPY Crashing Sometimes When the Screen is Rotated #3693

eeriemyxi · 2023-01-26T11:05:03Z

[☑️] I have read the FAQ.
[☑️] I have searched in existing issues.

Environment

OS: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.2546]
scrcpy version: 1.25
installation method: Windows release.
device model: RMX1971.
Android version: 11

Describing the Bug
Sometimes when I try to rotate the screen using MOD + R, SCRCPY crashes with an exception but when I restart the server the screen rotation is as I'd expect after triggering the hotkey.

The following terminal output is the result of me rotating the screen several times on the same app and on the same app activity screen. I did find an open issue (#1700) also addressing server crashes sometimes when the screen is rotated, but that error is slightly different, the observer was emulating some device virtually (which may have contained unfinished encoders and decoders to enhance the performance), and collaborator's reply was that the device does not support quick encoding or something which causes the errors but in my case it happens even when I wouldn't rotate screen for several minutes before the error-causing attempt to rotate the screen.

If this isn't something that could be prevented by configurations or modifications of the code, is there some way to auto reconnect the device on error?

Thank you for your report.

This is a codec error. When this happens, scrcpy should try to recover (it is not implemented yet, I added it to my TODOlist):

Internal codec errors result in a CodecException, which may be due to media content corruption, hardware failure, resource exhaustion, and so forth, even when the application is correctly using the API. The recommended action when receiving a CodecException can be determined by calling CodecException#isRecoverable and CodecException#isTransient

rom1v · 2023-01-27T22:22:23Z

I refactored some code and attempted to recover on non-fatal errors: branch refactor-encoder.

Here are binaries (to replace in your 1.25 release):

Thank you. I have not gotten the error on general use yet so I feel it is working.

rom1v · 2023-01-28T06:29:28Z

When there is a recovered error, there should be a line Codec error: ... in the console. Do you see it?

Back then I didn't see such output, but now I do get the error and it terminates the server subsequently.

Sometimes it would crash after I'd try to close an app that was in landscape mode (my launcher does not support landscape mode) and sometimes it would crash when I try to rotate an app; however if I had requested landscape mode or portrait mode and then it crashed, if I then restart the server, it retains the requested mode.

To update the binaries, I deleted the previous ones, moved the new ones and renamed scrcpy-server.bin to scrcpy-server.

eeriemyxi · 2023-01-28T07:09:50Z

It seems that it almost only happens when it tries to switch from landscape to portrait. I have tried and received this several times now, and I think each time it was this case.

OK, so the error is neither "recoverable" nor "transient" 😕

In that case, I will need an additional retry mechanism even if the error is not recoverable. I'll let you know.

MediaCodec may fail spuriously, typically when stopping an encoding and starting a new one immediately (for example on device rotation). In that case, retry (3 times), in many cases it should work. Refs #3693 <#3693>

Here is a new version: branch refactor-encoder.3.

Here are the binaries to replace in your 1.25 release:

eeriemyxi · 2023-01-30T12:52:24Z

Here is a new version: branch refactor-encoder.3.

Here are the binaries to replace in your 1.25 release:

* [`scrcpy.exe`](https://tmp.rom1v.com/scrcpy/3693/2/scrcpy.exe) `SHA-256: 23d22f9fc72c9ba0a814eb293135c4805396bf8a68d2e5b05f79c57c3435e557`

Cloning the branch then compiling it on Kubuntu is giving out these errors, but if I compile the master branch it works as expected.

I did git clone -b refactor-encoder.3 <repo_url> and then ran the install_release.sh script.

is this branch only meant to be used on Windows? I am sorry but I moved to Linux yesterday.

Cloning the branch then compiling it on Kubuntu is giving out these errors, but if I compile the master branch it works as expected.

I did git clone -b refactor-encoder.3 <repo_url> and then ran the install_release.sh script.

Because install_release.sh downloads the prebuilt server from the last release (v1.25), and compiles the client for your current branch. As a result, the client and server versions don't match (and the protocol between the client and the server has changed a bit since the latest release).

Either you need to compile the server too, or take the prebuilt scrcpy-server from my previous comment.

You can specify a prebuilt server by following these steps.

It works fine now. Thank you so much.

MediaCodec may fail spuriously, typically when stopping an encoding and starting a new one immediately (for example on device rotation). In that case, retry a few times, in many cases it should work. Refs #3693 <#3693>
