Release Overview
The PCoIP Client Software Development Kit (SDK) is a set of libraries and binaries provided to Teradici Cloud Access Platform customers who require the ability to customize and build a PCoIP client.
With control over how the PCoIP client is built, you can:
- Build clients that conform to your company style and branding guides.
- Build clients that adapt to customized workflows (for example, embed a PCoIP session into a software solution).
PCoIP Client SDK 19.11 introduces new fixes and updates to the previous release. This article provides a summary of key additions, compatibility notes, resolved issues, and known issues for this release.
To build additional functionality, such as extended peripheral support, you can utilize the Teradici PCoIP Virtual Channel SDK.
What's New in This Release
This release introduces the following features and enhancements to the PCoIP Client Software SDK 19.11 for Windows:
Improved Audio Input Bandwidth
PCoIP monitors the bandwidth available for audio and selects the audio compression algorithm that provides the best quality possible for the available bandwidth. Previously PCoIP endpoints use the Opus audio codec for audio output only, now this codec is available for audio input. By using the OPUS codec for audio input, high quality audio recording is possible even when bandwidth is limited.
Enhanced Security and Stability
This release contains improvements and enhancements around the security and stability of the PCoIP Client Software SDK for Windows.
PCoIP Ultra
This release contains improved support for PCoIP Ultra, our latest PCoIP protocol enhancements. This is an evolving feature that will continually improve with each release. For more information see the PCoIP Agent documentation.
Auto-Forward USB Devices
This release enables USB devices to be automatically redirected to the remote desktop on connection. Either all devices can be forwarded or a set of devices specified by VID/PID
Important Notes and Requirements
-
The SDK is intended for Cloud Access Software who require some client customizations when PCoIP Software Client for Windows and Mac, PCoIP Zero Clients, and PCoIP Mobile Clients do not meet their needs.
-
The SDK is intended for customers with software development skills and knowledge, as well as a sound understanding of virtualization systems.
Using an invalid or corrupt branding package crashes client
If the branding package does not match the hash value specified for the branding package, the session client will terminate.
Replace the corrupt branding file or use the correct hash value.
Auto forwarding HID devices with multiple flash drives may fail.
If more than one flash drive is auto forwarded along with HID devices, not all the devices may be forwarded to the remote host.
Limit auto forwarding to a single flash drive.
Bridged USB devices disconnected when switching to Windowed Mode
When the client has more than one monitor, switching from Full-screen to Windowed mode will disconnect all bridged USB devices.
Connection > USB Devices client dialog does not list any USB devices
At times, after a session starts, the Connection > USB Devices dialog does not list any of the USB devices connected to the client.
Reconnect to the session or physically unplug and reconnect the USB devices connected to the client.
Cancelling large USB file transfer fails
Cancelling a large file from being copied to, or from, a USB flash drive while bridged in PCoIP Software Client fails to function. The file will continue to copy until finished.
Allow operations on USB devices to complete prior to disconnecting the session.
USB keyboards do not work in bridged mode
Keyboards do not work when bridged. This affects both Windows and macOS PCoIP Software Client.
Do not bridge the keyboard. Keyboards function correctly when locally terminated.
