set media.role for VMware client

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi there,

I'm using VMware Horizon client from kubuntu to work on my companies windows machine. My idea was to play some music from my own machine while doing monkey work within VMware. I was very happy to read about the "cork" mechanism in order to mute that music as soon as I get a business call or am attending an online meeting within VMware. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out how to set the "media.role" for the VMware binary. I see, f.ex., that vlc has media.role=video, but the VMware client doesn't have any. I tried to set it via a .desktop file, but that fails - probably because the VMware application I start (vmware-view) spawns some other binary and the media.role property is not passed on to the child process?

As far as I found while searching, that media.role can be registered by the application itself but that's not really an option for me with VMware:) Is there any other way to set / change the media.role for some binary, maybe even while it's already running?

Thx a lot
Ben
