scrcpy: CompositionEngine: ANativeWindow::dequeueBuffer failed for display [scrcpy] with error: -32

• I have read the FAQ.
• I have searched in existing issues.

Environment

• OS: Arch Linux
• scrcpy version: 1.21
• installation method: pacman
• device model: Xiaomi M2101K6G
• Android version: 12

Describe the bug scrcpy crashes after a few frames. I’ve tried different resolutions and encoders, but none of them helped. This problem might be specific to my phone but it’s worth a try. Also i couldn’t find this exact CompositionEngine error in the issues. Also there is a weird thing. This is specific to the OMX.google.h264.encoder and c2.android.avc.encoder encoders. They don’t crash immediately they just start spamming the above mentioned CompositeEngine lines in the logcat.
