Multimedia add-on package for VDI
The Dell Hybrid Client Multimedia Extension Fix Add-on for VDI package must be installed to enable HTML5 multimedia
redirection in a VDI session. Installing this add-on enables you to play YouTube on Internet Explorer inside a remote desktop
session.
Steps
1. Go to www.dell.com/support.
2. In the Enter a Service Tag, Serial Number, Service Request, Model, or Keyword field, type the model number of your
device or type Dell Hybrid Client.
3. Click the product from search results to open the product support page.
4. On the product support page, click Drivers & downloads.
5. Depending on the version of Dell Hybrid Client that you have installed on your device, select the Ubuntu operating system.
For information about the version of the Ubuntu operating system that is supported in each Dell Hybrid Client release, see
Supported operating system.
6. From the list, locate the Multimedia Extension Fix Add-on for VDI entry and click the download icon.
7. After the add-on is downloaded successfully, use the application policy on Wyse Management Suite to deploy the add-on to
Dell Hybrid Client. Ensure that you upload the downloaded add-on to the local repository on Wyse Management Suite. For
more information about how to deploy an application policy, see the Dell Wyse Management Suite Administrator's Guide at
www.dell.com/support.
File Type Association
A File Type Association (FTA) is a correlation between a file type and an application. File types are determined by a file name
extension. For example, .docx, .pptx, .txt, .png, .xlsx, and so on. Dell Hybrid Client supports the file type association for
Citrix, VMware, and RDP VDI applications. To open local files or network shared files using VDI applications, you must configure
the FTA settings and set the File Affiliation for VDI mode using Wyse Management Suite.
Configure the File Type Association for Citrix
Dell Hybrid Client supports the file type association for Citrix VDI applications. Extensions and application names that are
configured from the Citrix server are fetched automatically during login. You must configure the File Affiliation settings for VDI
mode. When you launch a file from File Explorer, the VDI application that supports the file type opens the file automatically.
Prerequisites
Ensure that the Citrix server has published applications for which you can set file type association.
Steps
1. Log in to Wyse Management Suite.
2. Go to the Groups & Configs page, and select your preferred group.
3. Click Edit Policies > Hybrid Client.
The Configuration Control | Hybrid Client page is displayed.
4. Click the Advanced tab.
NOTE:
In Wyse Management Suite version 3.2, the FTA options under the Dell Hybrid Client policy settings are
rearranged for better grouping and visibility. See, Managing the Dell Hybrid Client policy settings.
5. Expand File Affiliation and click Citrix File Type Association.
6. In the Citrix File Type Association Configuration section, click Add row.
