Hi Armin, *> you need to disable AVC420, all codecs are on by default. (or just leave out '/network:auto' for the time being)*
Not sure how omitting "/network:auto" will disable AVC420 :-) If all codecs are on by default, and AVC420 is the problematic one, then logic tells me I should be able to run with : xfreerdp ./RDS.rdp /u:<AD user> /p:<password> /gdi:hw /network:auto /gfx:AVC420:off I'll give it a go, and report back :-) Thanks again for all your help Justin ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Armin Novak via FreeRDP-devel <freerdp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> Date: Thu, 8 Aug 2024 at 19:45 Subject: Re: [FreeRDP-devel] Rendering issues - especially when scrolling (blocks/artefacts) To: <freerdp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> Hi Justin, you need to disable AVC420, all codecs are on by default.
