Highlights

Hardware decoding

The video stream is now decoded in hardware on the computer, when possible.

Decoding is faster, CPU usage drops by 10×, and power consumption is lower.

Hardware decoding is enabled by default. Use --hwdec to select a specific decoder, or --hwdec=disabled to force software decoding:

:::bash
scrcpy --hwdec=auto          # use hardware decoding if possible (default)
scrcpy --hwdec=disabled      # software decoding
scrcpy --hwdec=vaapi         # VA-API, Linux only
scrcpy --hwdec=d3d11va       # D3D11VA, Windows only
scrcpy --hwdec=videotoolbox  # VideoToolbox, macOS only

With --hwdec=auto (or when the option is not passed at all), scrcpy falls back to software decoding if the hardware decoder cannot handle the stream.

On Linux, VA-API requires the GPU's VA-API driver (va-driver-all on Debian/Ubuntu).

See video documentation, [#7001] and [#7057] for details.
