Add --tcpip option to automate TCP/IP (wireless) connections

[rom1v]

Add an option to configure the TCP/IP connection automatically. There are two variants.

If the device (accessible at 192.168.1.1 in this example) already listens on a port (typically 5555) for incoming adb connections, then run:

scrcpy --tcpip=192.168.1.1       # default port is 5555
scrcpy --tcpip=192.168.1.1:5555

If the device TCP/IP mode is disabled (or if you don't know the IP address), connect the device over USB, then run:

scrcpy --tcpip    # without arguments

It will automatically find the device IP address (by parsing adb shell ip route), enable TCP/IP mode, then connects to the device before starting.

This feature is available in scrcpy v1.21.

Please test and report any issue you might encounter. This is also built from the current dev branch (so with code which will be in the next release), where I did a lot of refactors recently, so please report any regression. That would help a lot 😉

Thank you for your feedback.

@rom1v I have a Huawei mobile phone and a Xiaomi mobile phone, I did a test separately, scrcpy --tcpip=192.168.1.1 # default port is 5555
scrcpy --tcpip=192.168.1.1:5555 These two options are no problem,You can directly connect to the device IP address and start the screen projection window. The scrcpy --tcpip # without arguments option is only valid on my Huawei phone, and on Xiaomi phones Unable to automatically connect to IP.

shell ip route

Huawei mobile phone obtains IP log:

D:\scrcpy-win64-v1.20>adb -s 66J5T19614020092 shell ip route
192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.6

Xiaomi mobile phone obtains IP log:

D:\scrcpy-win64-v1.20>adb -s e2b16c shell ip route
10.90.227.156/30 dev rmnet_data4 proto kernel scope link src 10.90.XXX.XXX
192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.7

Both mobile phones are connected to the Wi-Fi network at the same time. The difference is that the phone card is not inserted in the Huawei mobile phone, and the phone card is inserted in the Xiaomi mobile phone. I think you should start with the analysis of keywords in dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src.

OK, thank you for your test.

For now, it always retrieves the ip from the first line of adb shell ip route. I will change to consider the first line where the 3rd column starts with wlan.

[rom1v]

I pushed a new version, please re-test 😉

@rom1v I tested it on Xiaomi and Huawei devices respectively, and --tcpip work well.
