About VLC Media Player:
It is recommended to install VLC media player and set it as the default video player for cases where video play is often required;Beginning from vMatrix 2.0, vCloudPoint introduced a new feature that allows local videos played on the zero client with VLC player to be rendered locally by the client processor instead of the host CPU. This feature aims to significantly offload host-side CPU consumption on video playing and help support more video users per host especially for cases where simultaneous video play is often required. This feature is supported by VLC player of 2.1.5 or newer versions and works automatically after the installation of vMatrix 2.x. You just make sure you are using the correct versions of vMatrix and VLC player and VLC player is selected to play the video, then you are ready to “save”.
Note: As the media content is not rendered at the host side, there is a drawback of using this feature: media content within the VLC player cannot be viewed by the administrator through monitoring at the host side.
