scrcpy | Display and control your Android device

I'm looking to use five android phones to take a photo simultaneously (from different angles).

I'd like to control the phones via a pc (linux or mac) and ideally they're all connected via USB/Ethernet.

I'm an EE, but I don't have much Android experience, so looking to get some feedback based on what I've read so far.

1. Looks like the Scrcpy library could work here, controlling the 5 devices via adb. I see it allows for multiple connections, have anyone tried this?

2. I could potentially create a PCB that integrates with the headphone jack of each device and control via push button and 470ohm resistor?

3. I could potentially build a client app on the Android devices, which connects to a server app on linux/mac (basic TCP/IP client server)

What routes/design would people take on architect-ing such a system?

Thanks for your help and reading this.

I am wondering if adb command could disable/turn off a display screen of android phone while it is still working as normal. I see the scrcpy tool (scrcpy -S) can do that it shows and allows interacting with a working screen of the phone on PC while disabling/turning off the screen of the physical phone. Thanks,

It has already been asked in this questions, but this seems to be the Glass Explorer Edition.

When I am tapping the device info tab in the Enterprise Edition 2, the default Android settings open up. They are almost unusable using the touchpad, so I am using scrcpy to control it.

Clicking System -> About phone -> Build number multiple times in scrcpy does not work. Tapping it via the touchpad is impossible due to that it's the bottommost entry and the touchpad is not sensitive enough.

How can I enable the debugging mode?

Background: I am currently on the firmware version OPM1.190831.003 and I am trying to update it to the latest via the flashing tool.

I want to make script that will open and pre set cmd with scrcpy commands. I tried modules like os,subprocess,pyautogui When I tried to open cmd with os and type inside it with pyautogui it didnt work What should I use to type commands. All I need to write is 'cd "directory"' and scrcpy but I cant find a way to do it with python

all. I'm a beginner of programming and I met some difficulties on video decoding/playing.

I have raw h264 data stream from tcpsocket, and I want to show the video on a WPF usercontrol.

Since I have few knowledge of C++ & video decoding/encoding, it will be hard to use ffmpeg for me. So I'm considering if VLC can do this.

The background is: I want to use Scrcpy server build my own "Android screen cast & remote control" WPF application.

So far, I've implemented:

• Push server to device and start the server
• Establish TCP connection between PC and Android device
• Can see h264 raw data streaming in the socket

Then the next step is: show video on a WPF usercontrol

Actually I've tried another solution before and can get what I want

• Use MPV as a media player
• Start mpv.exe process in my app with specific arguments
• Embed mpv window in a WPF host element

But I think is not perfect for a WPF application, So I'm trying to find a WPF-style way.

When I searching the Github, I found it is easier if I want to play a media file from disc or internet, I just need to pass the file location (e.g. D:/MyFolder/mySampleVideo.mp4 or http://somesite/aSampleVideo.flv) and no need to care about how the component/element work. Like this project and this project

If I use the VLC, how can I directly play the raw h264 data stream? Is there a method like VlcPlayer.Play(NetworkStream myh264stram) {...} ?
