While you can and SPICE does a reasonable job at being quite
well-suited, please be aware that it does reach its limits
when you do media intensive work.
There is a reason why my workplace has dropped virtual desktops as a
service (if you want to call it that) on oVirt.
It didn't scale very well in terms of latency and had issues with
media streaming like Youtube.
I could imagine that it could work reasonably well in an office
environment, but not in education for what I can tell.

[ovirt-users] Re: spice options hook
by ozmen62＠hotmail.com
my first problem is hook file.
When i add file before_vm_start directory and restart engine, it shows under host hooks file on the web page. But options cannot be displayed under vm custom properties section
if i set spiceoptions ;
engine-config -s UserDefinedVMProperties=spiceoptions=^.*$ --cver=4.3
engine-config -g UserDefinedVMProperties
UserDefinedVMProperties: version: 4.1
UserDefinedVMProperties: version: 4.2
UserDefinedVMProperties: spiceoptions=^.*$ version: 4.3
systemctl restart ovirt-engine
after that under vm custom options shows spiceoptions section. But nothing works.
according to hook file README, needs to be appear options and youtube became more fluent

Hm, could you try instead:
spiceoptions={'streaming':{'mode':'all'}}

I can tell if streaming is enable if you provide qemu cmd line
for what is running (e.g: ps aux | grep -i qemu ...)

What do you mean with nothing works exactly?

For playing video use-cases (youtube) it might be okay but not
for playing games as it has some hard coded delay in the
streaming code path.
The streaming is mjpeg so you don't save much bandwidth either.

Might be something specific to ovirt, not sure :(
I hope someone else can help you.

[ovirt-users] Re: VDI
by Leo David
Thank you Alex from my side as well, very usefull information. I am the
middle of vdi implementation as well, and i'm having issues with the spice
console since 4.2, and it seems that latest 4.3 is still having the problem.
What am i confrunting is:
- spice console is very slaggy and slow for Win10 vms ( not even talking
about running videos..)
- i can't find a way to get audio from the vm
At the moment i am running 4.3, latest virt-viewer installed on the client,
and latest qxl-dod driver installed on the vm.
Any thoughts on solving video performance and audio redirection ?
Thank you again,
Leo

Re: [ovirt-users] Spam Re: Spam Windows guest agent
by René Koch
Hi,
installing is quite simple:
1. Install SPICE Windows guest tools from
http://www.spice-space.org/download.html -> this also install
virtio-serial driver, which are required for the next steps
2. Follow this guide: http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_Guest_Agent_For_Windows
If you can't start the service the issue may be because of missing
virtio-serial drivers. If you're sure they are installed, reboot the vm
as Windows sometimes requires a reboot for drivers to work properly.
If you want single-sign-on feature please let me know how you managed to
do this, as I don't know it myself...

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