FreeRDP clipboard MonitorReady event

[sergsalo]

it seems to me that in FreeRDP v2.0xx event MonitorReady is not sent anymore. We used this event as an indicator that clipboard is ready to be used. Client and Server are both windows 2012 r2 hosts.

We are using 2.0xx code and do receive the MonitorReady call.

We have a PubSub_SubscribeChannelConnected hook that watches for the channel name of CLIPRDR_SVC_CHANNEL_NAME and initializes the cliprdr context callbacks (including MonitorReady). After that, we get the event fine --- so I know it can work.

Is this something you had working previously?

seems like that's exactly what we do.
yes, it worked with 1.xx
Good to know it works, so I'll keep digging

@byteboon what version of FreeRDP are you using? maybe i can try build that one and see if there is any difference.

We're using an older version of 2.0 with patches in production, but I was able to test with master as of yesterday and it was still working.

We run into similar problem with the new FreeRDP version. MonitorReady was not sent and clipboard didn't work. Problem was in our ServerCapabilities function that returned 1. It looks like old FreeRDP version ignored the return value and our code worked fine. Now FreeRDP checks the returned values and MonitrReady was not sent after that. The fix was simple - ServerCapabilities returns 0. As all other callback functions.
