When a user displays the Web page in a virtual desktop, the viewmp.js JavaScript command invokes the
Flash URL Redirection mechanism on the virtual desktop, which redirects the SWF file from the desktop to
the hosting client device.
Set Up Client Devices for Flash URL Redirection
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.
NOTE With Flash URL Redirection, the multicast or unicast stream is redirected to client devices that might
be outside your organization's firewall. Your clients must have access to the Adobe Web server that hosts
the SWF file that initiates the multicast or unicast streaming. If needed, configure your firewall to open the
appropriate ports to allow client devices to access this server.
Procedure
u
Install Adobe Flash Player on your client devices.
Operating System Action
Windows

installed.
Ensure that the file is installed in the appropriate Flash plug-in
directory for your Linux operating system.

installed.

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.
