Thanks to @stek29, scrcpy is now available in Homebrew. Could you try:

brew install scrcpy

?

Please open it back. This issue persists on Ubuntu 20.04.

Tried meson d in the audio branch. Got:

libavformat is provided by ffmpeg.

@Biswa96 I'm encountered the same issue and it persists after I did sudo apt install ffmpeg (installed the runtime dependencies)

Did you install the packages?

The correct link now is https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/BUILD.md#mac-os

Yes, installed. Still, same problem trying to compile the latest v.1.25 in macOS (Intel), see here.
