Black Screen after Update of Android's One UI-Version 6.1

[kagahd]

• I have read the FAQ.
• I have searched in existing issues.

Environment

• OS: macOS Sonomoa 14.5
• scrcpy version: 2.4
• installation method: brew
• device model: Samsung Galaxy S22
• Android version: 14
• One UI-Version: 6.1

Describe the bug
Until the update of Androids One UI-Version to version 6.1, scrcpy worked correctly. After the Android update, scrcpy shows a black screen. The keyboard is still working, means, I can type on the keyboard and it's transmitted to the Android device. However, the mirrored screen is always black.

❯ scrcpy
scrcpy 2.4 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>

On all apps, or only the "protected" apps? (#36, #2129)

On all apps.
No errors are shown in the shell though.

If you record with screenrecord, is it black?

adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/file.mp4
adb pull /sdcard/file.mp4

Interesting! screenrecord works. I can see my Android device in the file.mp4. Do I need some additional settings?

[rom1v]

Oh, it might be a rendering issue then.

What if you record with scrcpy?

scrcpy --no-playback --record=file.mp4

What if you record with scrcpy?

That works too! 😄 And now?

[rom1v]

OK, then it's a rendering issue on the client side, not related to your Android update (maybe a SDL update related to metal rendering?)

Try with another render driver:

scrcpy --render-driver=opengl
scrcpy --render-driver=opengles
scrcpy --render-driver=opengles2
scrcpy --render-driver=software

The first command results in this error:

❯ scrcpy --render-driver=opengl
scrcpy 2.4 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>

The last 3 commands just show a black mirrored screen. The same as scrcpy.

Problem solved: it was an out-of-memory error. Once I closed some apps on my MacBook, scrcpy worked correctly again.
Thanks @rom1v for your quick assistance and help!
