Scrcpy: Abort error

[ryanliang88]

I'm getting an Abort error similar to the previous issues but I have no idea how to fix it:

Via USB, all I'm seeing when I run 'scrcpy' from with fresh copies is (USB Debugging enabled & authorized)

cmd:
scrcpy-server.jar: 1 file pushed. 1.2 MB/s (19178 bytes in 0.016s)
Aborted (Hangs until Ctrl-C)

I'm running everything in a new extracted folder.
Not the same issue as https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/315

Is your device running Android >= 5.0?

Android version: 8.0.0

The Abort probably occurs on the device.

Are there any relevant logs in the output of adb logcat when this happens?

[ryanliang88]

I tried typing adb logcat but I didn't get any reply - It just hung.

(in another terminal, run adb logcat first)

I did, adb logcat hung.

OK, something is wrong with the device then. What about adb devices, adb shell?

'adb devices' displays my single device.
adb shell <- Not sure, I'm currently out without my cable and I can't test it.

[ryanliang88]

adb shell gives me

I met the same 'Abort' error on my Android 8. Not sure your root case, for mine, the reason is because no permission to upload scrcpy_server.jar to /date/local/tmp folder on Android 8 device. So I change the path to somewhere like /sdcard/, then it works. Hope it helps.

BTW, I guess Google may not allow to push file to /data/local/tmp on latest Android version. Why not put scrcpy_server.jar in an APK and publish to Play Store?

[ryanliang88]

How do you change the path?

Turns out this was my issue: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/268

Steps to fix (Windows):

1. Open cmd in folder containing adb.exe
2. Execute adb shell in cmd
3. Traverse to data/local/tmp cd data/local/tmp
4. Execute rm -rf scrcpy-server.jar to remove directory (Idk why this path is made...)
   4a. I deleted all environment variables (such as adding adb path to PATH) that I had configured previously for this process (You likely won't need to do this step)
5. Restart computer

Thanks all for those who helped me above.

I had the same issue, after I copied the scrcpy-server.jar file to c:/users/myProfile.
This helped resolve it.
Thank you

Tried and worked. No need to restart computer btw.

For good measure. 😆

If @rom1v could fix this and/or post an update to this, that'd be great.

@ryalia44 I have no idea how scrcpy-server.jar ends up being a folder sometimes. I never reproduced it, and it seems very rare. It might be a bug in how adb push is handled on some versions of the adb server…

@ryalia44
I faced the problem and finally resloved it following @f4th4n guide.
I think I know what might be the cause of the problem in the first place,
I noticed things went wrong just after I added new windows environment variable : SCRCPY_SERVER_PATH. I did it because I wanted to be able to run "scrcpy" from every where, but obviously it ends up with the app aborting.
Now I run the app from within install directory, I just send a shortcut to desktop.

hope this helps. thank you everyone. cheers ;)
