How to unlcok screen lock?

[WaleedMortaja]

When I try to control my device, it works perfect when it is already unlocked (or does not have screen lock). However, when the screen is locked, and I try to enter the pin/pattern, all I see is a black screen.

How can I unlock the screen lock when connecting using scrcpy? Is this a privacy feature from scrcpy that can be modified?

Side question: I, of course, would appreciate not to send the pin/pattern in clear text. I did not see any mention for encryption in the codebase. However, I am not really sure. So, Is the scrcpy connection encrypted securely?

Your lock screen app set the "secure flag" not to be captured. Since Android 12 this is enforced even for shell user, so scrcpy can't capture the screen. See #36 #2129

Scrcpy uses adb, which is not encrypted.

Can you provide an encryption in scrcpy itself?

As for screen lock, It seems that it cannot be solved without root

Can you provide an encryption in scrcpy itself?

In theory, yes, but not planned for a near future.

Initially, scrcpy is intended to be used over USB. But yes it woild be useful for wireless connection.

Would you mind opening a separate issue yourself for the encryption feature request?
