HTML5 Video Redirection

HTML5 Video Redirection controls and optimizes the way Citrix Hypervisors (formerly Citrix XenServer) deliver HTML5 multimedia web content to users. From Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7.12, this feature is available for internal web pages only. It requires the addition of JavaScript to the web pages where the HTML5 multimedia content is available, for example, videos on an internal training site.

The following server policies must be enabled:

• Windows Media Redirection—By default this option is enabled.
• HTML5 Video Redirection—By default this option is disabled.

Verifying HTML5 Video Redirection—While the video is playing, a noticeable lag or jump in the video window is observed when you move the browser on the screen or scroll the browser. This behavior indicates that the video is being redirected.

ThinOS event log for RAVE MMR is also displayed.

Sometimes, the initial playback does not work. After several seconds, the video is refreshed automatically, and you need to click playback from start again. During this time, the video will redirect.

For more information about HTML5 video redirection, see the Citrix documentation.
