scrcpy 1.2.5 and jpeg-xl 0.7…

Posted on by dk

I use scrcpy on a Mac for work, it being much more reliable than Apple’s phone screen casting.

Unfortunately, a recent update somewhere broke scrcpy, throwing the following errors about libjxl.0.7.dylib, which I hunted down to be part of the JPEG-XL libraries. Unfortunately, a brew reinstall jpeg-xl did not fix anything, nor an update to ffmpeg via brew.

In a rush to get things fixed, this is my “quick fix”…

I simply sym-linked the (newer v0.8) files:

cd /usr/local/opt/jpeg-xl/lib/
ln -s libjxl.0.8.dylib libjxl.0.7.dylib
ln -s libjxl.0.8.1.dylib libjxl.0.7.1.dylib

Problem solved (for now – we shall see if this breaks anything else)!
