Scrcpy WebCam Controller

Description

Scrcpy WebCam Controller is a Python application that allows you to control your Android device's cameras as a webcam on your computer. It utilizes the Scrcpy tool to mirror your Android device's screen and camera feed to your computer.

Features

• Switch between front and back cameras
• Stop camera feed
• User-friendly GUI with dark theme
• Status display
• Virtual video device creation using v4l2loopback

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Tkinter
• sv_ttk
• Scrcpy
• v4l2loopback (for Linux systems)

Installation

1. Ensure you have Python 3.x installed on your system.

2. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install sv_ttk

3. For Arch Linux , install v4l2loopback:

   sudo pacman -S v4l2loopback-dkms

Usage

1. Connect your Android device to your computer via USB.

2. Enable USB debugging on your Android device.

3. For Linux systems, load the v4l2loopback module:

   sudo modprobe v4l2loopback video_nr=5 card_label="Virtual" exclusive_caps=1
   

This creates a virtual video device (/dev/video5 in this case).

Run the script

python main.py

Troubleshooting

• Ensure your Android device is properly connected and USB debugging is enabled.
• If the camera feed doesn't appear, try restarting the application or reconnecting your device.
• Check if Scrcpy is properly installed and accessible from the command line.
• For Linux users, ensure the v4l2loopback module is loaded correctly. You may need to adjust the video_nr value if /dev/video5 is already in use.
