dependency chatr/tree for achieving flash multi media performance ?

 

 

 Hi ,

   I have spent the weekend  trying to comprehend  the  interdependicies between 

the various components in the softwarestack to achive usable  Flash media  performance  on the SunRay 3

series of  thin clients.

 

   My starting point  was   VDI 3.3.0  with  Virtualbox 4.0.10  with windows XP SP3  + virtualbox 4.0.10 additions and the SRS windows drivers from SRS 5.2

  using  windows internet explorer 8  with adobe flash 10 addon.    This setup delivers resonable multimedia performance for  360p and 480p  resolutions.

 

  After upgrading to   VDI 3.4.0 + Sunray Firmware from March 2012, with  the same  Virtualbox 4.0.10 windows XP Sp3  + VBOX 4.0.10 additions +  VDI 3.3.0 SRS windows drivers  IE8 + adoble flash 10

  I still experience  resonable to good  flash adobe multimedia  performance .  Even   720p  resolution works  with the SUNRAY 3  unit connected to  gigabit LAN.

 

  When  I try to introduce  newer  components  in the Virtualbox  Stack ,  multimedia performance drops  drastically. 

  I could not implement virtualBox 4.1.14 at this point because of the new remote VRDP  authentication  that does not let the session trough as it defaults to "external"

  and  we dont have this configured at this point in time.

 

  I tried upgrade  to Virtualbox  4.0.14  with  windwos SRS drivers from SRS 5.3  but without upgrading the virtualbox additions,  using the same IE8 and flash10

  Also tried Flash 11,   here too,   multimedia performance collapses  to a stuttering slowness.

 

   These  tests of mine  is not performed on my home computer but on enterprise class production systems .

 

   I would be happy   with a  chart of some sort   where validated  combination of software components that yield good Flash multimedia performance is documented.

 

   some thing like the following compatability matrix is needed. ;

 

   VDI  Version, SRSFirmware version,   VirtualBox Version,   MS-windows Version ,  Virtualbox additions  version ,  SRS drivers for windows version ,   MS-IExplorer  version  Adobe Flash Version .  

 

    Is this information documented somwhere ?

 

    Regards
