MHL?

[Rudxain]

Does this software use MHL to improve performance? I mean, if scrcpy can pretend to be an OTG device, surely it can also pretend to be an MHL/HDMI device

Technically, it uses an API (AOA) exposed by Android: https://source.android.com/docs/core/interaction/accessories/aoa2

It cannot pretend to be an MHL/HDMI device (AFAIK).

Interesting, thanks for the info!

oh :(

Maybe with root-access (from the host side, not the Android device) it should be theoretically possible. Kernel programs can potentially send arbitrary bits to any port, so it could use any "LL" protocol
