Hi,Can someone add spice automatic port selection on qemu similar to vnc ones please?Not so easy as this is handled by spice-server not qemu, so this requires some new interfaces to communicate the listening address to qemu. Otherwise you can't see the port selected in 'info spice', which would make the whole thing pretty pointless. Also note that the automatic port selection code in qemu is rarely used in practice due to libvirt doing the port selection in typical setups. And it is a bit flaky. I've seen it happily grab port 5900 in ipv6 space even though it was in use in ipv4 space. Which is probably not the behavior expected by most users ... cheers, Gerd
Thanks for your reply.In xen I always used the vnc automatic port selection, which use the qemu's auto port selection. Now I'm switching from vnc to spice on xen production systems, and I need an automatic port selection like vnc. I believe that lot of xen users will like this feature and part of them still stuck on vnc due to the lack of it.
Could any one help to add this feature? Why not implement it on libxl? (awaiting xen-devel feedback) Thanks for any reply.
