Nova 2 screen recording issue
I want to record `Oynx Nova 2`'s display screen while writing notes. I found that it can be done on any android device using following command in your laptop's terminal,
```$ adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/foo.mp4```.
Note the Nova 2 should be connected to laptop via USB and USB debugging should be switched on before using this command. The `foo.mp4` will be saved in your Nova 2 in `Storage`.
While this command is working fine for all my other android devices, but the Nova 2 yields **empty** `foo.mp4` file.
Can some one try to replicate the above command and confirm if it is working.

There is some bug in sending feedbacks from my device. I can't see my feedback history or track the status of old feedbacks. I have already raised feedback for screen recording issue although there is no response from support. May be it is due to bug in feedback system

I've got the same issue on my Nova 2.
The reason why I found this post is that I tried to mirror Nova2 screen in my mac. I tried scrcpy and Vysor, they both show black screen, although it seems to me I can control my Nova2 with mouse on my macbook.
Then I tried to debug this issue, many recommends to try to record scree with the command suggested above, but I get an empty file.
Boox Service Team could you please assist?

Vlad Kolotoff, thank you for confirming the issue. I have emailed Boox about this issue. It took me 1 month to convince the customer support that there is some issue in OS of the device. Although I am not sure that they will resolve this issue in next firmware update. Meanwhile you can use Seven Square,
https://github.com/yangh/sevensquare
to cast your screen. It is based on the screencapture but very slow.

Hi BOOX support,
Can you give us any update about this issue. Your customer support last time ensured me that your technical team will see through the issue and try to resolve it in next update. However. the last firmware update also couldn't resolve this issue. Please provide some timeline when this issue will be addressed in future updates.
Thanks

Hi.
Support people: could you please fix this.
The possibilitiy to screen the screen state is soooo important for this device. Almost the main reason why I bought it in the first place.
Is there an estimated date when this is going to be fixed?Thank you,

I interchanged several messages through the Feedback system of the reader. They told me there was a limitation with the screen update and the stylus ...
They were not clear if they were going to working on that or not ...
Guys! Look at this:
https://www.boox.com/2020/09/21/boox-v3-0-firmware-on-max-lumi-and-note-air/
Support screencast ( It only supports to mirror screens to Win10 computers. Mac PCs are not supported currently)
This may be that they are starting to support the screencapture screenshot funcionality. Al least with these other readers ...
Also Android 10.
Hopefully we will get this same things in our readers!
Boox Service Team guys we would like to try Android 10 in our devices! Let us be beta testers!0 -
Hello, I have tried without any success to use this marvelous application:
https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
Unfortunately, although it works like a charm on my smartphone, it does not on my Onyx BOOX Nova 2.
I have tried to use diverse resolution and rendering settings, but there must be something wrong with either the Android version or some specific software component on the Nova 2.
Using the Nova 2 as a wacom tablet on my screen or just controlling it by scrcpy would definitely be useful for me and would allow me to get the maximum satisfaction from my Nova 2.
Please help us to make this real, I and many others would really enjoy it and be available for any testing you might eventually need.
Thanks so much and kind regards0
