What way to access VM for best performance, with Audio

Featured Replies

Hi. Since it's so easy to create VMs with unraid, I've set up a few.

 

HOW do you access your VMs? How do you get the best performance? Is it using RDP? VNC?

 

I know with hardware passthrough, we get best performance. But is there an economical way to access the server from a distance with native performance aside from being right beside it?

RDP performs best on windows in my experience.

Second place is splashtop 

Third place is team viewer.

 

None of those deliver native performance.

 

Teamviewer is suppose to deliver 60fps for business accounts. Never used it though.

Ok. But what if you need to RDP into Linux? Will that work as well?

Most linux distros include a VNC server out of the box ready to configure. Setting up XRDP is something you would need to do manually. RDP is a microsoft protocol.

Does XRDP perform better than VNC? And RDP comes with audio. VNC doesn't, am I correct

XRDP uses VNC as a backend, so I doubt it''s going to be better than plain VNC.

Remote desktop audio is going to be an issue with a linux host. FreeRDP may work, I have no experience with it.

Thank you jonathanm.  Will give it a try.

The other option is moonlight if you're running a NVIDIA card.

Yes, pretty much want to have Moonlight. But can it stream desktop? Videos on YouTube mostly show when they start Moonlight, it shows a console like interface, like Xbox. Can it start with a desktop interface instead?

I assume you with this type of setup, you can literally play 3D games, and watch YouTube right?

Another follow-up question is, can moonlight stream from a Virtual LInux desktop?  Or does it stream Virtual Windows desktop only?

 

Of course, premise is I already have an Nvidia GTX video card with GPU passthrough configured within unraid.

Only good thing to remote control a VM is Windows to Windows. Linux is not god enough. In my case the unraid client cant do @ sign and no full screen 1080/4K. Google remote desktop is a joke and Team Viewer is not handy any longer for free user. MS RDP Remote Desktop is good but only  from Windows VM to Windows machine.
