Genymotion unable to open on RDP

[James Farrier]

Has anyone found a way to open Genymotion on an RDP session?

Originally I was getting an error about OpenGL due to RDP only being able to use OpenGL1.1.

After executing the following script which disconnects the RDP session then attempts to run the genymotion instance I get 'Unable to load VirtualBox engine'

'%windir%\System32\tscon.exe rdp-tcp#0 /dest:console

player --vm-name "Galaxy S3 - 4.3 - API 18 - 720x1280"

'

I will update if I manage to get it to work.

Thanks,

James

I have and it was just today.  Per the Genymotion website you can run Genymotion in RDP, but it won't start in RDP, but also via their website you can start Genymotion with a VNC type connection.  So I created a VPN so not to expose the vnc password, then connected via VNC to my computer and started Genymotion - and it worked.  I then disconnected VNC and reconnected with RDP and I'm ready to test remotely.

I know this is a few months after the original post, but perhaps it will help someone.
