2.2.4 VLC Media Player
VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays
most multimedia files as well as DVDs, Audio CDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols.
Beginning from vMatrix 2.0, vCloudPoint introduced a new feature that allows local videos
played on the zero client with VLC player to be rendered locally by the client processor
instead of the host cpu. This feature offloads 90% host-side CPU consumption on video
playing and can help support more video users per host especially for cases where
simultaneous video play is often required.
VLC player is obtainable at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ or the official website of
vCloudPoint: www.vcloudpoint.com/support/add-ons/.
Note:
1) Please install VLC player of 2.1.5 or newer versions.
2) As the media content is not rendered at the host side, there is a drawback of using this feature:
media content within the VLC player cannot be viewed by the administrator through monitoring
at the host side.
3) When running a video with VLC player, desktop refreshment of the desktop session other than
the VLC player area will slow down. Therefore, to ensure desired performance, do not have a
VLC player running at the back-end while you are running other applications.
4) vCloudPoint zero client rendering with VLC player only supports H.264/MPEG-4 AVC encoding
format videos. H.265/HEVC videos played through VLC player will be lagging. The file suffix
shown in the video file name is package format. If you encounter a video lagging problem, you
can use “Mediainfo” to check the actual encoding format.
