**** scrcpy v2.0 ****The excellent open source tool to mirror Android screens and provide remote control of those devices from Linux, Windows, and macOS -- scrcpy -- now newly supports native audio streaming as well for recent Android versions. No need to use third-party audio workarounds any longer if you have a suitable device! Super! - https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy

@lauren If I'm reading correctly, nothing permanent is installed on the Android device? I'll have to give it a try once I get my phone back from the shop.

@jmorris Yeah, it's really clever. It pushes some java code over to the device on each run, as an apk (even though it's not an actual android apk app -- but it's the zip container). That's the server end and then it communicates with the client via an adb tunnel. That's my understanding, anyway. I haven't looked at the code in detail.

@jmorris The java code jar is actually deleted before the video even starts, then actually vanishes for real when the last process is gone. So nothing is left over.

@lauren That's clever and it also sounds useful.

BTW, this will work via USB or *wirelessly* on a LAN if your Android device supports wireless debugging. Very cool.

@lauren I'm trying it now. The ability to copy/paste from the host to the phone is great.

@jmorris I'm currently using a 500ms buffer for both video and audio which smooths things out notably. I also have a little quick and dirty bash file I wrote to simplify startup of mirroring from my tablet or phone, which you're welcome to if you want it.

@lauren Yes, please. I tried it with 500ms buffers and also I needed to choose the aac audio codec to get it to play sound on the computer. This looks useful.

@jmorris I haven't needed to switch from the default codec so far. I'll get that bash file for you.

@jmorris Here you go. You may have to fix some of the line breaks that Mastodon messed up.
