choppy/pixely video over USB&TCPIP adb connection.

[XxTWMLxX]

I have a new oneplus 6 and am getting very choppy and pixely video streaming of my phone screen.
using my windows 10 laptop with the phone via usb or tcpip.

I had a nexus 6p, and both usb & tcpip went smoothly with no pixelation.
using the same laptop also.

what is the issue here?

Could you post a screenshot, please?

here is how it looks when blurry

and here is how it looks other times as it should

and will randomly go blurry even when sitting on a stationary screen.

What command did you execute exactly? Did you pass any -b argument?

[XxTWMLxX]

ADB tcpip 5555
ADB connect 192.168.2.x:5555
Scrcpy.exe

Then the display window opens on PC of phone screen.

It seems the codec on your device does not understand the bitrate correctly.

What if you use crazy bitrate values:

scrcpy -b 32m
scrcpy -b 100m
scrcpy -b 1000m

?

the video quality is smooth at 100m but is very slow motion even over my 1gbps link.

will try lower bitrates til i find a happy medium of speed and quality see if i can get it to work.
this is the console after running the command.

scrcpy.exe -b 20m seems to be a very happy medium for my device.
not pixely and smoothly playing video. no delay

[rom1v]

It would be interesting to know the real bitrate of the video, because obviously, it does not match the requested value.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that on Windows. On Linux, you would start the server manually and use netcat+pv to measure the bitrate received on the socket.

scrcpy.exe -b 20m seems to be a very happy medium for my device.

Over usb or wifi?

[XxTWMLxX]

@rom1v using wifi. i rarely use my usb actually. just noticed originally it was pixely over both wifi/usb.

for now marking this as fixed,
and when i get more time i will test usb and see if i can find bitrate actually used.

thank you for the help.
