If you are using 4.5 or 5.0 with the 11.2 client the processing would be renedered on the clien not the server which would make performance much better. You have to ensure the client device have the correct codecs( adobe flash ..,etc) to reap those benefits

Its video – so potentially its actually lots of screen changes as th e image is moving. Its not a excel spreadsheet with figures changing . It may well travel within your ICA bandwidth – but it’s unlikely to be a great experience.



Content redirection? Do/will your end devices support that? And if you do redirect, although the rendering is now done at the client end (which means their ‘view’ is better) now the whatever MB file needs to be streamed down to the user – possibly to each device and possibly concurrently: more data? quite possibly – while its streame d to the client you may find that they can utilise local buffering – so it takes a while to download they can then play the file locall y. However, while its downloading are you then impacting on the stan dard ICA traffic that is going up and down the line?

Hi

Sounds like the video is being blocked. Work Offline option is not enabled in Media Player so not sure why it is not working..

Users are all in small branches around the country. We have 4Mb Frame links so was hoping it would work. We are hoping all users dont hit the video at the same time but it is a possibility. Since the video is running on citrix wouldn't the traffic being sent to the client be screen changes only hence would be small?

Would it be better to redirect all media content to run on local PC via content redirection or would that be worse as the entire video is download?

Not sure how to proceed...
