scrcpy: IllegalStateException

I saw this exception every now and then and it will close the connection. See below screenshot:

Press any key to continue...

It happens when the screen orientation is changed most likely.

Does anyone know or understand what is going wrong in this case?

i changed the encoder to: scrcpy --encoder OMX.google.h264.encoder and with this one it works perfectly, also in higher resolution, like 1920x1200, which is perfect. see here: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/README.md#encoder
