  • Multi-media redirection for media applications
    Patent number: 11588875
    Abstract: A computer system is provided that includes at least one processor configured to execute a host virtual machine configured to host a session with at least one client computer device. The host virtual machine includes an operating system having a multi-media framework for rendering media content. The at least one processor is further configured to execute a media application configured to access media content from a media source, process encoded media content from the media application using the multi-media framework, and execute a multi-media redirection module configured to intercept the encoded media content from being processed by a decoding module of the multi-media framework. The multi-media redirection module is configured to redirect the encoded media content to the at least one client computer device.

  • Web browser multi-media redirection
    Patent number: 11588881
    Abstract: A computer system is provided that includes at least one processor configured to execute a host virtual machine configured to host a session with at least one client computer device. The at least one processor is further configured to execute a web browser application configured to access media content from a remote media source, receive encoded media content from the remote media source in a media container format, and execute a multi-media redirection module configured to intercept the encoded media content from being processed by a decoding module of the web browser application. The multi-media redirection module is configured to redirect the encoded media content to the at least one client computer device.
