Old virt-viewer. Where did you get it from?
It's built into current debian, I use it too. Does it support vv files?
Didn't know that. The same package also has 'remote-viewer', which works
for me with:
remote-viewer vnc://host:port

For vv files I use the following script:
=========================================================================
#!/bin/sh
LOG=$HOME/vv1.log
echo ===================== $(date) >> $LOG
echo params "$@" >> $LOG
vvfile="$1"
host=$(sed -n 's/^host=\([a-zA-Z0-9-]*\).*/\1/p' "$vvfile")
port=$(sed -n 's/^port=\([0-9]*\).*/\1/p' "$vvfile")
echo "$host" >> $LOG
echo "$port" >> $LOG
sed -n 's/^password=\(.*\)/\1/p' "$vvfile" | vncviewer -autopass
"${host}::${port}" &
sleep 2
/bin/rm -f "$vvfile"
=========================================================================
Verified now that it works (I seldom use it because the default is spice
which works for me).
Did you make it in 120s?
That was the main reason for this script :-)
Certificates?
Didn't bother with that.

You didn't import the engine's CA, did you?

The Console Downloads page has all the info to get it work, did you check it
out? (linked from main landing page, display options, user portal...so you
shouldn't moss it;)
You refer to 'Console Client Resources', which links to [1]?
I had to do some manual work to get spice-xpi working on Debian as it's not
packaged for it (and iirc neither are some of the dependencies).
