Description Bill Sanford 2013-10-10 17:42:32 UTC

Description of problem:
Installed mingw-virt-viewer on the Windows client, and edited the remote-viewer properties to have the Target executable "remote-viewer" --full-screen=auto-conf and then launch that and input the URI:port of the VM I want to connect to. 

Both displays came up in windowed mode.

 Windows 8.1x64 - client 
 mingw-virt-viewer-0.5.6-6.el6_4
 Windows 7x64 - guest

Works for me on win7,  mingw-virt-viewer-0.5.6-6.el6_4:

remote-viewer --full-screen=auto-conf spice://uri

"edited the remote-viewer properties to have the Target executable", what is that? Are you sure the arguments are passed to the client?

Can you get the virt-viewer log?

windows 8 client is low priority, was not reported on other platforms. Works fine on win7 per comment 1.
not for 3.3

I have retested with mingw-virt-viewer-0.5.6-18.el6_5 and this works.
