- Frequently asked questions
1. Upload packages to directory \wnos\pkg\.
2. Ensure that the INI autoload is not set to 0. Set INI AutoLoad=1 AddPkg=FR in wnos.ini.
3. Restart the client to read the File Server and wait till the auto installation of packages is complete.
You can view the installed packages in the Packages tab in the System Tools dialog box.
4. Server configuration for Flash redirection
a. To ignore the differences in flash player versions, user must add the FlashPlayerVersionComparisonMask and
ClientFlashPlayerVersionMinimum registry key on the desktop.
If it is XenApp 6.5, IEBrowserMaximumMajorVersion registry key is required to ignore the differences in IE Browser
versions.
For more information, see docs.citrix.com/en-us/xenapp-and-xendesktop/7-9/hdx/flash-redirection.html.
From XenDesktop 7.9, you must add more entries in registry for HDX FR to work. For information about these additional
entries, refer to Citrix Technical documents.
5. Client configuration for Flash redirection
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 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 event logs for HDX FR in the System Information dialog box.
i. FR: Media type video/x-264
ii. FR: Media type audio/mpeg
For information about basic operations on Citrix HDX flash redirection and policies configurations, see Citrix documentation.
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 ≤ 1920 x 1200; for example, full screen playback with ThinOS 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.
