choppy sound
Hello,
I have been experimenting with sound through remote desktop and it seems to
come in choppy. This will be an issue for our language labs, has anyone
experienced the same issues wen remoting into a virtual node via RDP. I've
tested by watching you tube videos which is pretty much not possible as the
video and sound are just really slow and choppy. Any advice is
appreciated on how others have overcome this within their VCL labs. Thank
You.

Vincent,
The Block Allocations page looks different to users that do not have the
"Manage Block Allocations" user group permission (accessed via Privileges page
under the "Additional User Permissions" tab). For users without that
permission, the page only allows them to request a Block Allocation that then
must be approved by an admin that does have the additional permission. Here
at NCSU, we've very rarely had a user submit a request for a Block Allocation
where the user did not really need it. So, we've found it is okay for
everyone to have the permission to request them. You can simply deny the
request in cases where it is not really needed.
The User Lookup link only shows up for users with the "User Lookup" user group
permission. If your normal users are seeing the link, then they are in a user
group that has this permission. You can use the User Lookup page to look up
the user group membership for one of the users. Then, look at what additional
permissions each of those user groups has.
The Documentation link points to the URL defined as DOCUMENTATIONURL in the
conf.php file. You can make that point wherever you want. If you really
don't want it displayed, you can comment it out for all users in the utils.php
file. You would comment out the following 3 lines that are toward the bottom
of the getNavMenu function:
$rt .= menulistLI('codeDocumentation');
$rt .= "<a href=\"" . DOCUMENTATIONURL . "\">";
$rt .= _("Documentation</a></li>\n");

Cool, it's nice to know that it works. To round things out, FreeRDP seems
to be a workable alternative on Linux to get the necessary RDP client
support - something to try in the new year.

Hi David,

streaming, audio streaming, multimedia and the like. Also, it seems like
the necessary components can be installed on Windows 7 SP1 and Windows
Server 2008 R2 SP1 (what a name...), too:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2592687. I recall seeing an impressive
video on MSDN (?) comparing RDP 7 and the "RemoteFX" functionality in RDP
8 - the test case was exactly watching a YouTube video. (Sorry, I can't
find that video right now; there are many less authoritative "sources" on
YouTube.)
May be worth to give it a try. Also, there may be others on the list who
have already deployed Windows 8 and can give advice regarding multimedia
experience.
Best regards
Imre

Hi, David,
Some folks may disagree here, but we don’t generally recommend using the
VCL for any video- or audio-intensive applications. For viewing videos, a
local browser works much better than doing the same thing through the VCL.
If the video needs to be played in a particular application, we typically
don’t make those applications available through the VCL. As far as audio
goes, it can be OK with a suitably low bit-rate, but that, too, is usually
best done outside the context of a RDP session. Audio also gets
complicated in that not all RDP clients support it in the first place.

Re: choppy sound
Posted by ik...@mit.bme.hu.
Hi David,
if you are using Windows 7 or lower on the VCL and/or client side: we
haven't gotten around to give it a try (our VCL Windows images are pretty
much of the Windows 7 age cohort), but RDP 8 - introduced with Windows 8
and Server 2012 - supposedly performs much, much better w.r.t. video
streaming, audio streaming, multimedia and the like. Also, it seems like
the necessary components can be installed on Windows 7 SP1 and Windows
Server 2008 R2 SP1 (what a name...), too:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2592687 . I recall seeing an impressive
video on MSDN (?) comparing RDP 7 and the "RemoteFX" functionality in RDP
8 - the test case was exactly watching a YouTube video. (Sorry, I can't
find that video right now; there are many less authoritative "sources" on
YouTube.)
May be worth to give it a try. Also, there may be others on the list who
have already deployed Windows 8 and can give advice regarding multimedia
experience.
Best regards
Imre

Hi, David,
Some folks may disagree here, but we don’t generally recommend using the
VCL for any video- or audio-intensive applications. For viewing videos, a
local browser works much better than doing the same thing through the VCL.
If the video needs to be played in a particular application, we typically
don’t make those applications available through the VCL. As far as audio
goes, it can be OK with a suitably low bit-rate, but that, too, is usually
best done outside the context of a RDP session. Audio also gets
complicated in that not all RDP clients support it in the first place.

Hello,
I have been experimenting with sound through remote desktop and it seems
to come in choppy. This will be an issue for our language labs, has anyone
experienced the same issues wen remoting into a virtual node via RDP. I've
tested by watching you tube videos which is pretty much not possible as
the video and sound are just really slow and choppy. Any advice is
appreciated on how others have overcome this within their VCL labs. Thank
You.
