Scrcpy launch button
Scrcpy provides display and control of Android devices connected via USB
or TCP/IP. It does not require any root access. Scrcpy works on Windows
GNU/Linux, and macOS.
It focuses on:
Lightness (native, displays only the device screen)
Performance (30~60fps)
Quality (1920x1080 or above)
Low latency (35~70ms)
Low startup time (~1 second to display the first image)
ScrCpy for Windows is included. See
http://www.jocala.com/scrcpy.html for details on ScrCpy for Mac & Linux.
For Android 11, Google has implemented scoped storage
which removes the ability for external applications to
write in /sdcard/Android/data/. This has the unfortunate
side-effect of preventing adbLink from accessing Kodi data at
/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi, meaning no backup/restore, no
edit of xml files, or any function requiring write access.
adbLink now has the ability to relocate Kodi's files to
/sdcard/kodi_data/ where they are accessible for
backup/restore, edit, etc.
This workaround is mainly for Android 11,
but it works with other Android versions as well.

or in adbLink's built-in help.
