Scrcpy Media Controller

This Python application provides a graphical interface to control the media playback and volume of an Android device using scrcpy over a local network.

Features

• Remote Media Control: Play/pause, stop, next track, and previous track.
• Volume Control: Adjust volume for different audio streams (Media, Call, Ring, Alarm, System).
• Discrete Volume Steps: Volume slider adjusts in discrete steps based on the Android device's volume levels.
• Smooth Volume Slider: Volume commands are delayed until the slider stops moving for a smoother experience.
• Debug Output: A text area displays debug information.
• Autoconnect: Option to automatically connect to a previously used IP address.
• IP Address Persistence: Saves the IP address for autoconnect in a file.

Prerequisites

• Python 3: Ensure you have Python 3 installed.
• ADB (Android Debug Bridge): ADB must be installed and configured on your system's PATH. You can install it using winget install Google.PlatformTools on Windows, or download it from the Android SDK Platform-Tools.
• Scrcpy: Scrcpy must be installed. You can download it from the official GitHub repository: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy.
• Android Device: Your Android device must have USB debugging enabled and ADB over TCP/IP enabled.

Setup

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone [repository_url]
   cd [repository_directory]

2. Create a Virtual Environment (Recommended):

   python -m venv venv

3. Activate the Virtual Environment:

   • Windows:

     venv\Scripts\activate

   • macOS/Linux:

     source venv/bin/activate

4. Install Required Libraries:

   pip install tk

5. Enable ADB over TCP/IP:

   • Connect your Android device to your computer via USB.
   • If prompted, press "Allow" on your Android device
   • Open a terminal and run adb tcpip 5555.
   • Disconnect your Android device from the USB cable.
   • Find your Android device's IP address (Settings > About phone > Status > IP address).

Running the Application

1. Run the Python Script:

   python main.py

2. Enter IP Address:

   • Enter your Android device's IP address in the "Device IP" field.
   • Check the "Autoconnect" box if you want to automatically connect to this IP next time.

3. Connect:

   • Click the "Connect" button.

4. Control Media and Volume:

   • Use the buttons and volume slider to control your Android device.
   • Select the volume type from the combobox.

5. View Debug Output:

   • The debug text area will display connection status and volume changes.

Notes

• The volume step counts in the code might need to be adjusted based on your Android device's volume levels.
• Ensure your Android device and computer are on the same local network.
• If the IP address of the android device changes, you will need to reconnect.
• For best performance, use a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network.
