[Linux] Cannot build/start v2.6.1 from the given source tar

[mchlnix]

I downloaded the tarball from release 2.6.1 [1] and tried building them using the information here [2].

I could build it just fine, but when starting I get the error message, that the server and client versions are incompatible, since the server is still only 2.6.

It seems like you forgot to update the download link and check sum of the 2.6.1 server binary in the install_release.sh script.

I changed line 5 and 6 to:

PREBUILT_SERVER_URL=https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/download/v2.6.1/scrcpy-server-v2.6.1
PREBUILT_SERVER_SHA256=ca7ab50b2e25a0e5af7599c30383e365983fa5b808e65ce2e1c1bba5bfe8dc3b

After reinstalling with that it works as expected.

I won't do a pull request, since it will be outdated as soon as you do a new release anyway. So this is just a reminder.

I see. I followed the build instructions [1] and it said "if you want to build the latest release". I can see that below it, it defines latest release as whatever is on master, but as someone wanting the latest release, I go to the releases tab.

I figured it out myself, so I guess it doesn't matter much, but maybe rewording the docs a bit, stressing that you should use master and not the source code of the actual latest release would help. Or pinning the issue you mentioned, so it's easier to find.

Tag v2.7 points to the updated install_release.sh 🚀
