See #888

[rom1v]

Could you please replace scrcpy-server.jar in your scrcpy v1.10 and test again?

[SwayChen]

@rom1v Yep, it works fine with v1.10. Thanks!

[rom1v]

Thank you for your feedbacks, I just merged it in dev 👍

It will be in the v1.11 release (the version number is still 1.10 but it's not the 1.10 release, it's a dev version).

[rom1v]

To fix #994, I changed the way the workaround is called.

Could you please take scrcpy v1.13 and replace this file:

scrcpy-server
SHA256: b64e6672eeb2b7c00c6f83673783bd8839ba65ea2ac7edcdeeca44676047328b

and confirm that it works without any error message.

Thank you.
