Looks like libavfilter is not installed on your host / the scrcpy bundled is not compatible with your OS. You will need to either manually install libavfilter, or install scrcpy on your host.

Hi @srevinsaju which package contains libavfilter?

On the other hand, shouldn't this program come with all the dependencies? It will have a lot of variability between linux distros if not all dependencies are included.

I haven't packaged this for all distros. If you would like a solution which works out of the box, the Flatpak might be a good call.
