Very poor video performance using Virt Viewer compared to RDP

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

 



I have a Windows 7 VM running via Qemu on Gentoo Linux using a product called Foss-Cloud. 
 
I have spice tools and the QXL video driver installed
 
Using Virt-Viewer The Vm shows a little lag when typing (always takes a second to catch up when typing my password to log in and such).  In general pulling up folders and  text heavy web pages is pretty snappy and doesn’t tax the cpu or memory at all.  If look at a site that has a lot of pictures I start seeing frame loss and the mouse gets a little laggy when scrolling.  If I pull up a video I see the cpu jump a little and the video is extremely laggy and I see about ever 10th frame of the video, at the same time I lose sight of the mouse pointer for a second at a time and it becomes hard to control.   
 
While connecting to this vm using Virt-Viewer I also notice very low bandwidth usage, well below 500Kbps which is strange for a remote session sending video traffic.
 
 
Using Windows RDP I was able to pull up all the same videos and web pages with no problem, the videos were clear and ran smooth and the websites with a lot of pictures scrolled normally.  I did notice that the network traffic using RDP was closer to 10mbps and spiked to 14mbps so it’s understandable that I would get a better experience.
