Hi.
I'm wondering if someone can explain the benefit to using the spice-xpi
plugin to access a console versus using remote-viewer "natively" from
the browser, specifically on a RHEL system? In particular, if you have
the virt-viewer package installed, and not spice-xpi, and you go to
visit a console, then the client downloads the configuration file,
/tmp/console.vv, and calls "remote-viewer /tmp/console.vv". On the
other hand, if you have spice-xpi installed, it seems that the client
doesn't need to download the configuration file first, but calls
"remote-viewer --spice-controller". In both cases, it appears to me
that the result is the same. However, using spice-xpi, there seems to
be an additional 4 seconds delay before I get to the console. The time
doesn't really matter. I'm just wondering if there's a benefit to using
spice-xpi?
Jason.
