scrcpy: ERROR: Could not open video stream

On Arch GNU/Linux, built scrcpy using the released .jar.

meson x --buildtype release --strip -Db_lto=true \
    -Dprebuilt_server=/path/to/scrcpy-server.jar
cd x
ninja
sudo ninja install

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 running Replicant 6.0 0003. The resulution should be 720x1280.

$ scrcpy -m 1280 
/usr/local/share/scrcpy/scrcpy-server.jar: 1 file pushed. 1.9 MB/s (19038 bytes in 0.009s)

Any ideas? I think Replicant may be the offender here.

Edit: installed android sdk aura -A android-sdk and built my own .jar; same result.

Edit2: Does not affect Samsung S9 with Stock or LineageOS

The command scrcpy -b2M -m800 did get it working for me.

I had this issue too, I have very little to do with this program until 5min ago, But seems like this error has been very briefly looked at before in Issue #73 Using the lower resolution/bitrate with the parameters,

scrcpy -b2M -m800

I can get scrcpy -m 1650 to work but I fail at scrcpy -m 1700 Inserting -b2M doesn’t effect the outcome. Even reducing to -b1M doesn’t allow 1700.
