Scrcpy: Resolution lowers when any sort of animation is playing.

[Bloknama]

I have read the FAQ and I have searched in existing issues (https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues)).)

First of all, thank you for this great tool! This is really helpful! So... Thank you for this!

Environment

• OS: Windows 10
• scrcpy version: 1.14
• installation method: prebuilt
• device model: Infinix X603
• Android version: 7

The problem is that the resolution noticeably lowers whenever some sort of animation is playing on the phone screen. Example: when opening folders, playing games, or changing to full-screen while watching video.

I do not know what a terminal output is (I have zero knowledge on this field). I assume that the cmd is what "Terminal" is referring to.

It's not the resolution, it's compression artefacts, more visible on fast motion

Try to increase the bitrate:

 scrcpy -b20M

Ah... I see. Thank you for your answer! Speaking of which, I want to ask a question. Do I have to run the tool using cmd every time if I want to use the prebuilt scrcpy with the increased bitrate and reduced resolution?

[rom1v]

No, you can create a file myscrcpy.bat, containing:

scrcpy -b20m

and double-click on it.

Is there some kind of tutorial online where I could learn on how to make that .bat file? I'm sorry for the many questions. I really do not know my left or right in this field.

just open a notepad file, write what ever you need to write and save it. Then assuming your file extension are not hidden, rename the file to "myfile.bat" . That would do the trick. If your file extension are hidden by default, just google how to unhide the file extension. Hope that helps.

this link would give you a rough idea on how to unhide file extension.
