GUIscrcPy

A full fledged GUI integration for the
most award winning open-source android
screen mirroring system -- scrcpy
located on https://github.com/genymobile/scrcpy/
by @rom1v

screen

GUIScrcPy is a Python 3.7 based script (haven't tested compatibility issues
so far, but it does not work on Python 3.8 because of incombatibility og PyAutoGUI module)

Why GUIscrcPy?

I had Python as a subject for Class XI, so as a part of it's advanced learning experience,
and because of my daily use of scrcpy, wanted to integrate GUI into the CLIbased app!!
GUI stands for Graphical User Interface, and Py is not inherited from scrcpy but rather from Py for Python

Contents

The package includes two codelets:

Main UI controller

it is the UI system that executes the fixed command to scrcpy engine. These are static.

Toolkit UI controller

It is the UI controller, which gives commands to the Scrcpy window to execute certain actions.

Installation

Linux

Before everything, make sure you have scrcpy on your path.
To install it prehand on linux distributions supporting snap. Provide this command to terminal


$ snap install scrcpy.


This will make your life easy on Linux

  1. (Also called Step 0). Put a star on my repo. Gives support to #opensource!!
  2. If your OS is Linux-based, to use Toolkit, you need to install wmctrl and xdotool. These are optional to run the toolkit.
  3. Run guiscrcpy by right-click run through GUI explorer or add guiscrcpy to path and use guiscrcpy command to run it.
    NOTE : Only Scrcpy 1.9

Windows

On Windows, running guiscrcpy is easier for end-users. just download the exe-installer, and it will automatically install this for you.
scrcpy (21.4 MB) by @rom1v is already packaged by guiscrcpy due to 'PATH` problems.

  1. Run guiscrcpy-installer.exe from the Releases
  2. Follow on-screen instructions. A Windows Tile will be added to the Start Menu automatically
    NOTE: Toolkit is incompatible on Windows, due to development problems in Windows.

Dependencies

To use toolkit (on Linux only), run:
sudo apt install wmctrl xdotool [mostly wmctrl and xdotool are packaged along with linux distro]

NOTE : The other tools are packaged with the binary pkg as tar.xz below

Changelog

    for Windows is unfortunately discontinued.
  • mainwindow.ui >> xml parsed file loaded in uic loader has been compiled to mainui.py as UI
  • toolkit.py is deprecated. toolkit class is restructured into mainwindow class with multiprocesing.
  • After PyQt5 update, GTK-LTK-KDE no longer raises pixmap errors
  • Unreleased *.ui files for Build. Only dependencies for release are png pixmap files

Build 1.9.4

  • Restructured StartScrcpy Class as two threads.

Build 1.9.3

Future Releases

Surely, this is an initial build with great scope of improvement. Compared to paid Screen Mirroring software, scrcpy gives
a lot of advantages, but my future plans are as follows

  • Fix HOME_key, BACK_key. (Will have to wait until @rom1v examines my work)
  • Add better UI support with adb functions out of scrcpy
  • Support python3.8 with PyAutoGUI support. Most of the project is based on PyAutoGUI, which is based on Windows, with less support for Linux.
    I am on Linux, so i can't test them out, except WINE
  • Add service running indicator

Issues

There are problems with the toolkit in executing certain functions like HOME key and BACK key. I am not able to solve this on
Linux because of the Xlib Graphics manager. On Windows, it should work properly,
but however, this hasn't been tested so far. I would like to know the results on [email protected]
