A quick way to do this is to make a full desktop connection to the server and click on the Connection Info icon. Please test that TCP and UDP are being used for your RDP connection. The main thing is to use a RDP 8.1 client which you are already doing.ġ. There is nothing special that needs to be done to enable RemoteFX on Server 2012 R2 RDSH.
If I install Hyper V manager on to a Windows 8 machine, and then console in the RDS server, would thatīe the cleanest way to test video performance? At least then there is only one RDP connection (the console connection).īut RemoteFX won't kick in over a full session RDP, only Remote App - so would the results of that test show anything useful? If I RDP on to the server with VMmanager or Hyper-V manager, then I can console on to the RDS host, but RDP is still involved at the first step. What might be a good way to check youtube playing on the Hosts? Every method I can think of involves and RDP connection, and I'd like to test without one.
How to check if the glitchy play back is being caused by the Hosts or by the RemoteApp connection? They are configured with dynamic RAM - in line with best practise afaik, and are just standard VMs. The issue we're seeing might be related to the config of our 2012 R2 hosts. It's not clear to me from that event if I can see exactly which I believe that RemoteFX is active, since the event "The connection is using advanced RemoteFX RemoteApp graphics." was logged at the same time as the test connection was made. Just to add - I've experimented with adding these remote apps into a Windows 8 client and videos played in youtube or vimeo are equally glitchy. Would there be anyone around from the termserv team to advise me on what we can do? We're not seeing that - the media playing is glitchy.

This update introduces the following features for remote computers that are running Windows 7 SP1: That correct, or are there some policies I should be enabling on my 2012 R2 hosts to enable the best multimedia experience for clients using RDP protocol 8.1 in Win 7? I'm new to terminal services, but from reading up about RemoteFX, it seems like there was a period during which RemoteFX had to be enabled by Group Policy, but that seems to no longer apply to my situation (where the clients support RDP protocol 8.1). No surprise there, just one thing I was checking in the context of youtube being so glitchy and jumpy.īlog post talks about seamless multimedia experience on Win 8 & 2012 - but I don't think that it applies in our case since we are using Win 7 clients. In IE, the Adobe reports the Flash version as 12.0.0.77, same in Chrome. What options have I got to get this working?īoth the Win 7 Thin PC and the Win 7 Ent clients are running the latest version of the RDP client (), supporting protocol 8.1.
Youtube or Vimeo are very glitchy both in full RDP session and in IE Remote App. WMP will play fine in a full RDP session, but it becomes very glitchy when piped through a Remote App into Win 7 Thin PC or Enterprise. Video playing is a problem - both youtube, and playing video files.
