Scrcpy: package h264 output as video capture device for use by other apps

[solnyshok]

I would like to use scrcopy output in other apps, as video capture device. For example this would allow to use instagram app video effects camera and then feed it to skype, zoom, twitch, obs, etc.

There is already part of the solution (as I see it, could be wrong of course) in ws-scrcopy fork (websocket server). Maybe could process it with v4l2loopback tools to make virtual "videocam" in linux.

unfortunately do not know of similar library in windows. but there are windows apps, e.g. xsplit-vcam or chromacam - which create such devices on windows too. but there is a code for obs plugin that simulates virtual webcam under Windows. https://github.com/CatxFish/obs-virtual-cam

// added reference to obs-virtual-cam plugin as possible source of code for windows solution.

A v4l2 device with v4l2loopback would be great :+1:

This feature will be great, I want to use the screen capture frames directly to Tensorflow using Python-OpenCV. Hope it will be available =)

That feature would be great. Please add soon. Thanks

i'm upping this also, this feature would not be great only but awsome in fact :D obs-virtual-cam plugin and other solutions seem to decrease the video FPS and add latency..
