By default, no client configuration is required. New INI parameters are added to support HDX FR Client configurations, for
example, to fetch the server side content. The newly added INI parameters are:
SessionConfig=ICA\
HDXFlashUseFlashRemoting=Never | Always (default) \
HDXFlashEnableServerSideContentFetching=Disabled (default) | Enabled \
How to verify it is working or not working
a. Right-click the flash video to know the flash player version. It displays version information of the customized player at
ThinOS Lite client side which is 11.1.102.59. If the flash player version is different, then it is unsuccessful server rendering.
b. During the flash playback, it will display ThinOS Lite event logs for HDX FR in the System Information dialog box.
i. FR: Media type video/x-264
ii. FR: Media type audio/mpeg

Known Issues
a. Playback flash videos in Internet Explorer browser with normal security settings.
b. Playback with videos ≤ 720p; the 1080p video may show graphic issue.
c. Playback full screen video with resolution ≤ 1920x1200; for example, full screen playback with ThinOS Lite resolution 1920
x 1200; in 2560 x 1600 full screen video there could be graphic issues.
d. After flash video is loaded it will stay in initial size; for example, resizing browser will not resize the video content; it is
same behavior with Citrix HDX FR Linux client.
e. Only English font is supported; for example, subtitles in other languages will not be properly displayed.
f. In some scenario the video shows no content initially; when user resizes browser the video appears normally; it is likely to
happen with x86 desktops and is a known issue for Citrix HDX FR Linux client.
g. Playback with videos that can work with HDX FR on Linux or Windows client: There are a number of videos/websites
known as not working with Citrix HDX FR solution such as msn.com, espn.com, movies.yahoo.com, and dell.com. Flash
videos simply cannot load with these websites using HDX FR solution. Some of them are working periodically; for
example, videos on Dell.com were working well during this Feb/March but stopped working afterwards; the results can
vary depending on user location as well (US/Europe/Asia). It is therefore recommended to make sure the target videos
work with HDX FR on Linux or Windows, before working with it on ThinOS Lite.
h. The solution on ThinOS Lite is based on Citrix HDX FR Linux version. It is advised to compare with Linux client in case of
any issues.
i. Playback YouTube.com videos may run into some issues; for example, cannot show video unless user copy the URL and
paste it to the browser to visit again. In case any observation we recommend to compare with Linux client.
