Can't Install Sndcpy [Mac OS Catalina]

[hndq]

Whenever I run the .sndcpy program
these errors pop up

Waiting for device...
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to stat sndcpy.apk: No such file or directory
Uninstalling existing version first...
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]

[Process completed]

Thank you so much for helping me out

[rom1v]

Is sndcpy.apk in your current directory?

How did you run it?

[hndq]

Directory as in? Its unzipped in the downloads folder this
I clicked the .sndcpy file > runs in terminal > shows Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]

Is the folder required to be kept in an another location?

[rom1v]

Open a terminal into this directory, and execute ./sndcpy instead.

[hndq]

I searched the web but I didn't understand how to do it. Sorry, I'm really new to this

[hndq]

I dragged the folder into the terminal window and then it has shown zsh: permission denied: /Users/tanishhandique/Downloads/sndcpy-v1.0

[rom1v]

cd /Users/tanishhandique/Downloads/sndcpy-v1.0
./sndcpy

[hndq]

I have VLC installed

[rom1v]

(please post the content of your terminal between ``` instead of a screenshot)

vlc: command not found

Where is it installed? If you just type vlc, I guess you have the same error.

Either add its path into your PATH variable, or simplify:

# adapt the path
export VLC=/path/to/your/vlc/executable
./sndcpy

[hndq]

(I'm really sorry)

Yes it shows the same error
I didn't understand the "add its path into your PATH"

but I entered

export VLC=/path/to/your/vlc/executable
./sndcpy

then I get
zsh: no such file or directory: ./sndcpy

[rom1v]

No but you must execute that command from the sndcpy directory:

cd /Users/tanishhandique/Downloads/sndcpy-v1.0
export VLC=/path/to/your/vlc/executable
./sndcpy

Sorry I was busy with school work.

I did the following as you commanded me to do but got this instead. I guess it doesn't work on Catalina :(

[rom1v]

./sndcpy: line 29: /path/to/your/vlc/executable: No such file or directory

You must adapt the path to your vlc executable 😉

[hndq]

./sndcpy: line 29: /Users/tanishhandique/Applications/VLC.app: is a directory
tanishhandique@Abhijits-MacBook-Air sndcpy-v1.0 % 

I get this and I'm so confused :(

[ccarbajo]

I read app restrictions, but for example i see in youtube a guy using sndcpy in cod mobile and he play perfect with sound but in my case not, maybe any difference between devices?

Hi, i have the same problem, but i made the cd /Users/tanishhandique/Downloads/sndcpy-v1.0 export VLC=/path/to/your/vlc/executable ./sndcpy but, when i do press enter on the console, give me the error. Idk what could be the problem.
Instead scrcpy works perfectly.
I'm on Mojave and i'm using an xiaomi redmi note 8 pro.

Thanks for the help

[rom1v]

@hndq For the path, try /Users/tanishhandique/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC or /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC

[pranshhu]

I able to run sndcpy, by exporting vlc.
But the audio output is too low on my mac

[rom1v]

Remove -Idummy in the script, so you have a VLC UI where you can adjust the volume.

[pranshhu]

Sorry I'm not good at these stuff.
Could you please tell me how I can do that.

[pranshhu]

Nvm, thanks for your help

Above script working for MacOs

[SergiyBoyko]

Try to launch command with error. Then:
Install sndcpy.apk on your smatphone, and then open it.
Enter in teminal this command: alias vlc='/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC'
and then this command: vlc -Idummy --demux rawaud --network-caching=50 --play-and-exit tcp://localhost:28200
This steps works for me (MacOs Catalina)
