Disadvantages of the video hook driver

[Hanzolo]

Hi everbody,

I just wanted to know if there are any known disadvantages when using the video hook driver.
I speak of problems when running OpenGL, Direct3D games or applications or other hardware-accelerated programs which could interfere with the Hook.


Furthermore I'd like to know if it makes sense to enable both the video hook driver AND the system hook dll or if UVNC automatically chooses the one which fits the best.

Indeed, while connected you can not use hardware accelerated stuff,
the mirror driver prevent this.
The updates would be to fast to remote display anyway..

When not connected, the mirror driver has no impact ( installed but not active)

You need to manual select in the server properties the method you want to use

pure polling
hookdll
video mirror driver

I am a bite confused because you can select all of them at once.
Which one will it use then?
