Re: [ovirt-users] [ovirt-devel] [RFC] oVirt mobile client
Hi Christophe, They share a part of their code-base, primarily in the native implementation. However, Opaque has a substantially reimplemented UI. They both live in the same repository, though, and the plan was to bring them closer together over time. I see aSPICE as analogous to spicy and Opaque as analogous to virt-viewer.

So adding Christophe for his thoughts… Opaque seems to be more an oVirt client than a SPICE client, so I'd tend to think it would be a better fit as an oVirt project. aSPICE would fit well together with other SPICE repositories, dunno if these are the same code base or not (?). > On Jan 5, 2015, at 13:38 , Tomas Jelinek wrote: > > > > One more question - does aSPICE support spice proxy? > > libgovirt is not parsing the proxy information at this point, so answer would be no.

Re: [ovirt-users] [ovirt-devel] [RFC] oVirt mobile client
Hi iordan, sorry for the long response time - it was Christmas... ;) As I see in the https://github.com/iiordanov/remote-desktop-clients/blob/master/eclipse_projects/bVNC/AndroidManifest.xml the bVNC already has the support for calling it from outside using the intent mechanism but I don't understand how about aSPICE. As I understand, aSPICE is based on bVNC but I don't understand how exactly do they relate. Does it use the same Manifest just renamed? What is the mimeType than? If you could point me to a bit of documentation it would be great. About calling aSPICE and bVNC from outside using the .vv file - as I understand it is not supported for now, right? For us it does not make too big difference if you support the data using URI or .vv file - even the .vv may be preferred, but we will survive URI as well. One more question - does aSPICE support spice proxy?

Re: [ovirt-users] [ovirt-devel] [RFC] oVirt mobile client
Hey guys, Thanks for remembering about Opaque. For those who are not familiar with the project, it is an oVirt/RHEV graphics console client which supports the SPICE protocol so far. It uses libgovirt to connect to the oVirt/RHEV API. I also created a separate pure SPICE client (called aSPICE) for Android based on libspice. It would be nice if I got more feedback from Red Hat developers, but you guys are probably as busy as I am :). The app is getting attention on Google Play and people are using it successfully for their installations, it seems. I have plans to add the following features to Opaque, time permitting: - Ability to edit default settings, so that people who connect with console.vv file will be able to configure Audio, keyboard layout, etc. - The ability to allocate VMs from a pool. - The ability to control Audio Playback and Recording separately. I don't think Opaque needs to get portal-management functionality. I was contacted by an intern working on movirt (Sphoorti Joglekar, cc-ed), asking whether I would be willing to support a URI Intent scheme that movirt can use to launch aSPICE. I think I already have a pretty well specified URI scheme that may work for the purpose, so we'll see how that goes. I am wondering whether it wouldn't be better to launch aSPICE or Opaque with a console.vv file instead, though. I guess the developers of movirt will have to consider both options. At any rate, Opaque is far from dead. I'm security supporting it, I just don't find a lot of time to work on additional features. I am cc-ing Brian Proffitt, because at one point we discussed setting up Opaque as a sub-project of oVirt. I don't know whether there is any interest for that in Red Hat, or any interest at all in supporting mobile clients for oVirt/RHEV, etc. It would be nice to hear an official stance on the topic.

The app in Google may be half year old but there is a movement in git [1] and the author recently called for testing or comments on spice-devel ML.

Excellent idea! Could we get such notifications and publish them to some event bus within Engine backend (exposing them to other webapps running within Engine EAR context) + have WebSocket webapp that pushes them to connected clients? (or, if we don't want WebSocket, some other push-like alternative) Imagine a different way to build JavaScript web applications - it first fetches all relevant data, caches it, and then just receives updates that modify its cache. > > > > > > > I'd like to see an official subproject started that coordinates our > > > mobile efforts. > > > > > > Is this possible?

Regarding console - I guess this link has to do with how to display a web page in native app (I asked a mobile developer friend of mine) - http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html And this ovirt page can help with spice client for html5 ? http://www.ovirt.org/Features/SpiceHTML5 Cheers, Yair > > > > > > Greg Sheremeta > > > Red Hat, Inc. > > > Sr. Software Engineer, RHEV > > > Cell: 919-807-1086 > > > gsher...@redhat.com > > > ___ > > > Devel mailing list > > > de...@ovirt.org > > > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/devel > > > > > ___ > > Users mailing list > > Users@ovirt.org > > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users > > > ___ > Users mailing list > Users@ovirt.org > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users > ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

I agree about "user portal" - sounds good to begin with. Another idea I had in the past is to have an app (push-based) that will push events to a special client. We will have a push sever that will get notifications from the event notifier, and this server will push the events to registered clients. > > > > I'd like to see an official subproject started that coordinates our > > mobile efforts. > > > > Is this possible?

See: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2013-December/018434.html Some days ago it seems he go also support international keyboard layout support: " I finally got some time to back-port the international keyboard layout support from the Android Ovirt client Opaque into the SPICE client aSPICE " I made same preliminary tests at the end of 2013 but I was not able to connect to oVirt... I don't know actually how it went ahead... the Google channel seems stopped since February... Gianluca ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

No console access, > but I believe it's planned as part of OPW. (?) I spoke with mbetak about this a few months ago. When you speak of console, you mean to actually view the VM using spice? sounds very interesting. If I recall, Alon levy (a former red hatter) worked on some spice implementation for html5 or something like that. Anyway, back in TLV I also had some ideas around that. Do you have some IRC meetings or something that I can join?
