Description from store
Spice is a powerful open-source remote desktop protocol that can compete with RDP and VNC. You can use this application to attach to Spice servers anywhere, right from your browser!
Need to access Spice instances behind a firewall? Use a dynamic SOCKS proxy over SSH to encrypt and tunnel your connection. This app is built to use your proxy settings in Chrome.
The majority of this code is maintained by the developers at www.spice-space.org. Please consider donating for their work.
Version 1.1.6+ includes new features and small bug fixes.
Instructions:
* You need a spice remote desktop server setup: http://www.spice-space.org/download.html
* Setup websockify to translate into websockets: https://github.com/kanaka/websockify
* Connect Spice Remote desktop app by typing the IP and port of the WebSockets proxy, as well as the configured password of the server if there is one.

- (2018-12-30) Daniel Tate: Doesn't support the native protocol, Requires websockify on linux to connect to kvm hosts, and there's just not enough info on that online.
- (2018-02-08) Miles Whittaker: I got websockify setup and I can successfully connect to my spice server, however, the connection freezes after 2-3 mins and I have to reconnect. Super inconvenient.
- (2016-04-26) Ryan Flagler: I can connect, but my video output is all upside down and glitchy. Essentially useless.
- (2016-01-20) Ning Cao: good!
- (2015-02-16) Liang Guo: It is a very useful program, if you want connect to a spice server. and it is the best spice client on osx and windows. if it can add sound support, it will be more useful
- (2014-12-29) Abbie Kessler: This app works great. For everyone who is confused as to how it works, the instructions are right in the description.
- (2014-12-23) Mike Cronce: Works exactly as I would like a Spice client to. To everybody whining that it doesn't work, you need a websockets proxy. You should probably try reading some documentation.
- (2014-11-21) Udo M. Rader: as many others have discribed, this just does not work. Where any other spice client can connect, this one can not. *broken*
- (2014-11-19) Владимир Шерстников: Does not work
- (2014-09-18) Isaiah Elston (Krash Chaos): Couldn't even use it :/
- (2014-05-27) Luděk Smolík: Hello, good idea! Working well. It is good to know, it needs to use with websockify. Thank You for Your work!
- (2014-04-27) Michael McKinsey: Great idea - unfortunately does not work. remote-viewer spice://localhost:5908 works just fine (local ssh port forwarding). This client at same port same password, doesn't work. Nice idea, needs to work.
- (2014-04-13) Danny Sauer: In a terminal I can run "spicec -p 5900 --host localhost" and I get connected to a KVM virtual machine. When I connect to localhost on port 5900 with this app, I get nothing. However, the app does start up, so I'm suspicious that the fact that this machine has no password on the VM is to blame.
- (2014-03-23) Eternity Knight: I opened it, clicked log in and nothing happened. What a waste of 2 minutes.
- (2014-03-21) Fida Naseh: nice
- (2014-03-18) Bob “Anonymous” Doyle: Doesn't work on a working Spice Setup. Chromebook on same network as a KVM host of mine, port 5900 doesn't matter if I use a password or not, everything but this ChromeOS client works.
- (2014-02-13) Clæmint Dalsgaard: After disabling qxl gpu driver in windows virtual machine, working around bug 1014066 in spice-html5, it works, for a while. This app looses the connection (no screen updates), after a few minutes. Beside that, its really nice to have chrome spice client. That way you can have a proper fullscreen and no need to have the other html5 client installed on a webserver. Thank you for the effort.
- (2013-12-21) Frank Hirtz: I love the idea of a spice client for chrome as it'd be a nice alternative to vnc for my chromebook. The issue is that it doesn't work. I have a virtual server (KVM) that's display is being exported via spice, and I can't connect to it with this client. sSPICE on my N7 tablet works fine, so the server setup works.
- (2013-12-05) Kunal Tipnis: No instructions or i'm missing them
- (2013-09-22) Philip Volpato: looks great but som further instructions would be helpful =P
- (2013-09-19) David Allard: Works great but how to configure keyboard, I'm using a french keyboard Arm Chromebook and not all the key are correctly mapped ?
- (2013-09-15) Glenn Blaylock: Where are the instructions!?! Maybe I am just ignorant of how these things are supposed to work, but I run the app and get the login screen, but what am I supposed to do from there!?! I downloaded this because it promised to allow me to access a computers across a firewall. However, for the life of me I can't even figure how to get the stupid thing logged in!!!
