XPRA_LAUNCHER(1)

NAME
xpra_launcher - User interface to connect to a Xpra session

SYNOPSIS
xpra_launcher [FILENAME]

DESCRIPTION
xpra_launcher is a tool which enables you to connect to a remote xpra(1) session using either a graphical user interface. It is able to read a pre-configured session file. When called without FILENAME, xpra_launcher will spawn a GTK window allowing you to set the connection parameters easily. If FILENAME is specified, the parameters in the GUI will be set to the values specified in the session file. Additionally, if the session file contains the special parameter "autoconnect", xpra_launcher will skip displaying the parameters window and will establish the connection directly.

SESSION FILE
The format of the session file passed to xpra_launcher as a parameter is a series of parameter = value lines. Available parameters are:

host
    Specify the remote host to connect to.

port
    Specify the remote port to connect to.

encoding
    Specify the encoding type to use: x264, jpeg, png, ... See xpra --help for the full list of available encodings.

jpegquality
    Set the JPEG image quality (when using jpeg encoding). Values are 1-100.

mode
    Connection mode: tcp or ssh.

autoconnect
    Specify whether to establish connection immediately (True) or simply pre-fill the parameters for the user to review (False, the default).
