Flash Player - Youtube - 6.Jun.2008 2:39:14 PM

Dear All,

I have tried VM Ware VDI, Virtual Iron & XenServer and they all have the same problem. I have tried all thin-clients e.g. Wyse with Multi media extensions installed, HP T30**, Relisys etc. I am presuming it is to do with RDP but any suggestions welcome.

Let me expain the problem. When you try accessing something that uses Flash Player i.e. www.Youtube.com or BBC iPlayer the footage is very jerky and sound is out of sync.

Help, someone must have had this problem before and solved it!

Cheers,

Applications that draw "off-screen", such as Flash web sites or games,
are not friendly to Terminal Services. They require sending the screen as
bitmaps.

Citrix does have some techniques to enhance Flash performance:

If you have already tested Citrix, increasing the available bandwidth is your only other option. But it will never be as good as on a client.

No, I'm sorry, that's not really my main field of experience.
Someone else maybe?
