Thanks for your reply Christophe, I am using oVirt 3.6.3 in my production environment with 250 Virtual Desktops accessed from within the office premises.

Our users will have thin client devices running trimmed down version of CentOS 7 with spice-xpi installed via yum.

Please let me know if you need more details on this.

I cannot find the "to be deprecated" that you mention by looking
at this page, or at the bug list ;)

However, I think firefox is going to drop support for npapi plugins
sooner rather than later, and activex plugins are more and more
restricted in Windows land, so I would not be surprised if they stopped
working at some point. I think spice-xpi could be rewritten as a
firefox extension or something like that, but I've never looked into it.

Nowadays, oVirt uses .vv files rather than browser plugins to start
remote-viewer.

Can you give more details about your setup and your use of spice-xpi?

Thanks,

Christophe
