[startrainee]

I have read the FAQ.

I have searched in existing issues.

I have pluged an Android device, but execute 'scrcpy' in windows,
it show:

Do you use the latest version (v1.23)? (it should retry automatically with a lower definition)

Otherwise, #73.

[startrainee]

I try to use the lastest version v1.23, but it doesn't work.

I used "scrcpy -b2M -m800",it still doesn't work.
My screen size is 2608x720.

Hi @startrainee , did you find a solution? I get this error in when using ffmpeg on some Android devices, not all of them though. I want to understand the cause.

[bogdannedelcu]

A workaround when default mediacodec fails on Android is to retry using libx264. A bit slower bot does the job.
