2 Set Up the Web Pages That Provide Multicast or Unicast Streams on page 29
To allow Flash URL redirection to take place, you must embed a JavaScript command in the MIME
HTML (MHTML) Web pages that provide links to the multicast or unicast streams. Users display
these Web pages in the browsers on their virtual desktops to access the video streams.
3 Set Up Client Devices for Flash URL Redirection on page 30
The Flash URL Redirection feature redirects the SWF file from virtual desktops to client devices. To
allow these client devices to play Flash videos from a multicast or unicast stream, you must verify that
the appropriate Adobe Flash Player is installed on the client devices. The clients also must have IP
connectivity to the media source.
4 Disable or Enable Flash URL Redirection on page 30
When you install the Remote Experience Agent and select the Flash URL Redirection installation
option, this feature is enabled. You can disable or reenable the Flash URL Redirection feature on
selected virtual desktops by setting a value on a Windows registry key on those desktops.
Verify that the Flash URL Redirection Feature Is Installed
Before you use this feature, verify that the Remote Experience Agent with the Flash URL Redirection option
is installed and running on your virtual desktops.
The Flash URL Redirection feature must be present on every desktop where you intend to support multicast
or unicast redirection. For Remote Experience Agent installation instructions, see “Installing and Deploying
the Remote Experience Agent on Horizon View Desktops,” on page 13.
Procedure
1 Start a virtual desktop session that uses PCoIP.
2 Open the Task Manager.
3 Verify that the ViewMPServer.exe process is running on the desktop.
Set Up the Web Pages That Provide Multicast or Unicast Streams
To allow Flash URL redirection to take place, you must embed a JavaScript command in the MIME HTML
(MHTML) Web pages that provide links to the multicast or unicast streams. Users display these Web pages
in the browsers on their virtual desktops to access the video streams.
In addition, you can customize the English error message that is displayed to end users when a problem
occurs with Flash URL redirection. Take this optional step if you want to display a localized error message
to your end users. You must embed the var vmwareScriptErroMessage configuration, together with your
localized text string, in the MHTML Web page.
Prerequisites
Verify that the swfobject.js library is imported in the MHTML Web page.
Procedure
1 Embed the viewmp.js JavaScript command in the MHTML Web page.
For example: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost:33333/viewmp.js"></script>
2 (Optional) Customize the Flash URL redirection error message that is sent to end users.
For example: "var vmwareScriptErroMessage=localized error message"
3 Make sure to embed the viewmp.js JavaScript command, and optionally customize the Flash URL
redirection error message, before the ShockWave Flash (SWF) file is imported into the MHTML Web
page.
