Re: [SunRay-Users] Multimedia redirection in windows 7 with vmware view
Hi David, Are you able to open a support call? If so please do. It may be too early to state that I've recreated your issue exactly, but I'm noticing a big difference jumping between two different hyper-visors and multimedia acceleration kicking in reliably or not on win7. What seems to be happening from my 1000 foot level view, is that the while often acceleration does happen, but it drops, picks up again, drops again, etc. Though sometimes it doesn't start at all, even while in the same session that a previous view of the same video was accelerated. Tested the same Sun Ray infrastructure, differences was a VM running on VirtualBox and one running on XenServer. The Vbox server is on the same server as my Sun Ray Server (my Oracle VDI sandbox) and the XenServer, while on the same LAN is a different physical server. I'm fairly bound to WAN only testing, which make adds a lot of variables (and makes either experience a bit less than optimal), but I will see if I can get some people on the LAN near to servers to re-run my tests. Don't take this as me saying switch to Vbox, that's not my intention. It's to find out where the process is failing. On 1/31/11 6:49 AM, David L.

Re: [SunRay-Users] Multimedia redirection in windows 7 with vmware view
With Windows 7 (and 2008R2) we take advantage of the RDP 7 feature called enhanced bitmap caching. We rely on RDP7 to tag accelerated content, which it then converts to an RDP7 extension called NSCodec. Typically the accelerated will cover Flash, Silverlight, and programs that make use of Windows Presentation Foundation (like PowerPoint in Presentation mode). The size limitations, as described in the wiki, are still in effect for both RDP 5.2 and RDP7: http://wikis.sun.com/display/SRWC2dot3/About+Adobe+Flash+Acceleration+%28Windows+7+and+2008+R2%29 This may include items played through Windows media player. Unlike the XP/2003 MMR solution were you installed Oracle software on the Windows Guest, we do not currently redirect the WMP stream to decode at the DTU. However, as we rely on RDP7 to tag the content, it's possible that some WMP content will not be tagged appropriately when played through WMP. We are investigating adding the RDP7 native Windows Media Redirection feature in uttsc, but based on feedback from our RDP 5.2 enhancements, most customers felt Flash was more critical than WMP content. Customers also stated that they preferred, when possible, to not have to install special tools on their Windows Hosts. Thus instead of developing a new solution for RDP7 (the graphics layer is a lot different than RDP 5.2) we chose to support the native features of the protocols. Downside, as even Microsoft states in their RDP7 white paper, that it is a potentially taxing situation from both a CPU and network perspective. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/confirmation.aspx?familyId=e4d25d08-ae40-4c5c-ac81-eaacdc9923d3displayLang=en The Sun Ray Windows connector detects the NSCodec content, decompresses it, transcodes it to M-JPEG, then sends it to the DTU. The conversion to M-JPEG is a huge bandwidth savings if you were to compare the bandwidth required from the Windows server to the Sun Ray Server, thus those should located as close together as possible. Having the Windows Servers or VMs across a WAN link from the Sun Ray server and trying to watch RDP7 accelerated content can be problematic. The downside of the solution is that it will require more processing power on the Sun Ray server, and really requires a processor with good single threaded performance. Older servers, or servers not built for single threaded application performance can suffer with the native RDP 7 support. Especially when comparing it to the RDP5.2 Flash solution, there was almost zero load on the Sun Ray Server since the M-JPEG encoding happened at the Windows layer. The load created by the decompression or transcoding routines that are required with the RDP7 feature, simply weren't there before.

Re: [SunRay-Users] Multimedia redirection in windows 7 with vmware view
Thanks, To tell the truth, it may be working, just working poorly. I can't figure out how to tell if it is working for sure. In the documentation it discusses enabling logging and looking in the log file for a particular entry. I was unable to find the entry, but I was feeling my way through the process of turning on logging and I'm not sure I had it right. The command is based on the PID of an xnewt process. I think I had it right, but I am by no means a Solaris expert (seriously, I'm Solaris challenged) so I had to feel my way through it. Anyway, the video and audio is choppy, and I never saw the tell-tale entry in the log, so I think it is not working. I would love some more insight into this from someone who has made it work. Multi-media is almost always the stumbling block towards getting more people to adopt virtual desktops. We are running Solaris 10 X86 on VMware ESX. Thanks, David L.

Re: [SunRay-Users] Multimedia redirection in windows 7 with vmware view
Debugging is fairly simple. From a terminal, find the process ID of your sessions Xnewt process then do kill -USR2 pid Now tail /var/dt/Xerrors for messages like Display :2.0 Video port Id 39 Compressed: JPEG-D Can you describe your environment a bit more. Specifications about the VM config? Windows is 2008R2 correct? Baremetal or VM? What type of content are you viewing, how large? Sun Ray DTU is a 2 or better? What rev of firmware? Describe the network between the 2008R2 server and the Sun Ray Server and the Sun Ray Server and the DTU. For Windows 7, we take advantage of a RDP 7 feature that Microsoft often calls enhanced bitmap acceleration. It takes a considerable amount of CPU and bandwidth from the Windows Server, and compared to our XP/2003 Flash solution it takes more work on the Sun Ray Server side as we now have to transcode the RDP 7 bitmap stream into mjpeg. I'd be interested in seeing prstat output from the Sun Ray Server VM while you are watching video and also utcapture. On 1/26/11 8:57 AM, David L.

In the documentation it discusses enabling logging and looking in the log file for a particular entry. I was unable to find the entry, but I was feeling my way through the process of turning on logging and I’m not sure I had it right. The command is based on the PID of an xnewt process. I think I had it right, but I am by no means a Solaris expert (seriously, I’m Solaris challenged) so I had to feel my way through it. Anyway, the video and audio is choppy, and I never saw the tell-tale entry in the log, so I think it is not working. I would love some more insight into this from someone who has made it work. Multi-media is almost always the stumbling block towards getting more people to adopt virtual desktops. We are running Solaris 10 X86 on VMware ESX. Thanks, David L.
