[ovirt-users] Re: Spice console very poor performance for Windows 10 vm

Thank you so much Victor ! Anyone, any ideea how could I disable video compression for spice console on particular vms ? I am trying to implement an "almost" full desktop experience with an oVirt based vdi environment. And besides the Windows10 spice issues ( which are the main cause of this thread ), it seems that Windows 7 is affected too by the multimedia playing perspective. Which makes a total blocker on project implementation.... Any suggestions/ similar experiences ? Thank you very much and have a nice day !
