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.
