Fails to record if output filename includes colon (":")

Environment

• OS: Ubuntu
• Scrcpy version: 2.7
• Installation method: manual
• Device model:
• Android version: 14

Describe the bug

If the filename specified with --record parameter includes colon (:) character the app fails to create that file:

$ scrcpy --no-audio --show-touches --record="`date -Iseconds`.mp4"
scrcpy 2.7 </~https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>
INFO: ADB device found:

/usr/local/share/scrcpy/scrcpy-server: 1 file pushed, 0 skipped. 207.8 MB/s (71200 bytes in 0.000s)

ERROR: Recording failed to 2024-11-14T22:57:44+02:00.mp4

Such file name is valid on linux and nothing should prevent app from creating it.

The filename is passed to ffmpeg, which interprets it as a URL with a protocol. As a workaround, you can explicitly prepend the file protocol like this:

scrcpy --no-audio --show-touches --record="file:`date -Iseconds`.mp4"

I'll see if I can contribute a fix for this.
