naive-android-ssr

Naive Android Screen Stream Reader, this project decodes Android screenrecord stream to OpenCV via ADB. Written in Python.

Requirements

PC

  • Python >= 3.6
pip3 install adb-shell av opencv-python

Install adb-shell[usb] if you want to connect via USB.

pip3 install adb-shell[usb]
  • A system that is strong enough to decode H264 stream.

Android Phone/Simulator

  • Android >= 4.4

Run

  1. Check your config file.
# This is the json file for MuMu 12 Simulator
{
    "adb_ip": "127.0.0.1",
    "adb_port": 7555, # usually this should be 5555 on other devices / simulators
    "adb_key": "mykey", # required by the real phone, optional for simulator. Use `keygen.py` to gen your key.
    "adb_timeout": 10.0,
    "size": [960, 540], # optional
    "bitrate": "4M" # optional
}
  1. Launch the code using a config file:
python3 main.py mumu12.json

Wait several seconds for the decoder to receive enough data, then a opencv window will pop up.

You may need to allow the connection on your phone when connecting for the first time.

  1. Press Enter or ESC to quit.

Troubleshooting

  1. On windows, when connecting to a phone, an error raised as usb1.USBErrorAccess: LIBUSB_ERROR_ACCESS [-3]. According to this issue, kill all adb procs will solve the problem.
taskkill /F /IM adb.exe
