Why does the terminal set up a new instance of scrcpy when I enter a command?

[Mrzb3hav1ng]

Hi, I'm a little new to scrcpy and I was wondering if I set something up wrong. Every time I use the windows terminal to change a setting in scrcpy it opens a new instance of scrcpy. Has anyone had this happen or know what's going on?

When you execute scrcpy, it's necessarily a new instance.

You can pass command line parameters on start (scrcpy --record=file.mp4 for example), to pass custom parameters to the instance you are going to launch.

You cannot dynamically change the command line parameters of an scrcpy instance. The only "dynamic changes" are provided by shortcuts (for example Alt+f switches the fullscreen mode).
