Configuring the Zoom VDI Linux plugin with ZoomMedia.ini

ByCorporate Guider Home, Zoom

Note: Due to the different file system hierarchies on the Thin Client OS, the default ZoomMedia.ini for this OS is slightly different, and this is a superset of all the sections and items that are available currently: 
[ENV]
PATH=/usr/lib/zoomcitrixplugin/
BIN=zoom
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/zoomcitrixplugin/
SSB_HOME=~/.zoom
QSG_INFO=1 
[LOG]
MAX_FILE_COUNT=10
MAX_FILE_SIZE=30
LOG_LEVEL=4
[FEATURE]
SHAREOFFLOAD=1
VIRTUALBACKGROUND=1
SMARTVB=0
[OS]
OS_DISTRO=ubuntu
[COMM]
DisableUDPBridge=
DisableICABridge=
DisableMMRDirect=
PingServerFromThinClient=
[PROXY]
proxyType=
pacFilePath=
httpProxyHost=
httpProxyPort=
httpsProxyHost=
httpsProxyPort=

Env setup for Zoom media process

This partition specifies the exact path location where the Zoom media process can be found using PATH/BIN/LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

The SSB_HOME variable indicates the location of the log files that will be generated.

There is a QSG_INFO method that can be used by the Qt library to print out information about the scene graph.

  Note:

You are strongly advised not to change any value in this section, as it will have negative effects on your system. There is nothing compulsive about any of the items in this section.

Log control for zoom media process

A central log control method is used for the entire VDI solution (VDI Troubleshooting). The Zoom media process accepts a log_level parameter from the VDI Client and uses it to determine what level of logs to display. There are a number of items that will come into play in this situation:

The MAX_FILE_COUNT setting defines the maximum number of files that can be created for one particular log type. If no value is specified, the default value should be 10.

It is known that MAX_FILE_SIZE determines how much disk space can be allocated for a single log file (MBytes), regardless of the type of log file. Unless otherwise specified, 30 should be the default value if the value is not specified.

Using the following formula: MAX_FILE_SIZE (MAX_FILE_COUNT 3 + 1) MBytes, where 3 represents the maximum size of our 3 log types (_AV/_citrix/_sdk postfixed), and 1 represents the maximum size of our standard error logs: std_out_error.log. This is calculated by taking the value of MAX_FILE_SIZE (MAX_FILE_COUNT 3 +

In this case, if this section is configured as follows:

[LOG]
MAX_FILE_COUNT=2
MAX_FILE_SIZE=3

The size of all log files is 3 * (2 *3 + 1) =  21 MBytes top.

The log level is optional and is used only when the VDI client does not send a log_level parameter as part of the Zoom media processing. The log level of the plugin can be controlled independently from the log level of the VDI client installed in the VM, even if the customer has not configured the log level there.

Feature support based on different thin client OS

  • Currently, SHAREOFFLOAD is the only feature switch that supports this feature.

  • There is a switcher for the virtual background that displays the tab Background & Filters in the settings

  • There is a smartVB switch that forces the smartVB feature to be enabled.

  Note: Please do not modify any value under this section as it is strongly recommended that you do not do so. A black window will appear during annotation when you force SHAREOFFLOAD to be turned on an unsupported platform.

[OS] thin client OS

OS_DISTRO specified current OS running

  Note:

If you wish to modify any of the values under this section, we strongly recommend that you do not do so. It is likely that forcing OS_DISTRO to be changed will result in unknown behavior.

Connection setup for thin client

Please refer to: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360032343371

  Note:

There is an optional section following this one:

Proxy configuration for plugin

The proxyType property specifies what kind of proxy you would like to use. The system pacfile manual noproxy is currently supported by us

If proxyType is choosing the pacfile option, pacFilePath specifies the url of the pac file if it is being used.

In the case that proxyType is set to manual, the following 4 items will be taken into account.

  • There are two types of http proxy servers, httpServerHosts and httpProxyHosts.

  • A port number is specified for the http proxy server in the httpProxyPort field.

  • A http proxy server’s IP address is specified by the httpProxyHost attribute.

  • An HTTP proxy server’s port number is specified by httpsProxyPort.

For example:

[PROXY]
proxyType=manual
pacFilePath=
httpProxyHost=10.100.10.10
httpProxyPort=8080
httpsProxyHost=
httpsProxyPort=
