Hey Mike,
No at the moment there is no immediate need to x2go-tunnel youtube movies. I was just wondering if there's any real benefit from speeding up ssh connections and whether crypto accelerators might have an effect overall before I go buy one and test it myself (no need forkin over money for a card that won't be of any use to me).
Regarding the local video playback is it possible to embed it in the client window? or would you recommend opening a different mplayer window for example?
Regards, Dimitris

Does anyone know of any advantages from installing a hardware ssh (or
crypto) accelleration device on a server machine running x2go? For example I've tried to tweak my SSH server but despite some improvements in responsiveness video playback (I tried a youtube video) is still choppy.
NoMachine has announced that NXv4 will have support for videos, animations etc. If X2go continues using NX libraries and the NX video stuff will be released as GPL then there probably is a chance of being able to use animated graphics in the near(?) future. I guess that NXing video streams will be quite CPU intensive, though. So this will probably not be suitable for terminal servers.
However, if you can play a video file locally then you should prefer that!!! (there is no real need to X2go-tunnel Youtube, is it?)
Best, mike
