Setting Computer User Properties
Enable multi-media
acceleration
X Determines whether multimedia redirection (MMR) is
enabled on the remote desktop.
MMR is a Windows Media Foundation lter that
forwards multimedia data from specic codecs on the
remote system directly through a TCP socket to the client.
The data is then decoded directly on the client, where it is
played. You can disable MMR if the client has insucient
resources to handle local multimedia decoding.
This seing is in the VMware View Agent
> Agent folder in the Group Policy
Management Editor.
This seing is enabled by default.
Force MMR to use software
overlay
X MMR tries to use the hardware overlay to play back
video for beer performance. When working with
multiple displays, the hardware overlay exists only on
one of the displays, either the primary display or the
display where WMP was started. If WMP is dragged to
another display, the video appears as a black rectangle.
Use this option to force MMR to use a software overlay
that works on all displays.
