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.

See further detail at http://www.jocala.com/android11.html
or in adbLink's built-in help.
