    Upgraded to 5.2 and VirtualBox 5.2 and now the remote displays which worked fine before don't work anymore. The preview image is good, but when I click "Console" then "Connect" nothing happens. Remote Display is active with a unique port assignment on the VM. Any ideas? I rely on this heavily...

    Hi,

    First, make sure your web browser has Flash enabled. The RDP console won't work without Flash.

    Then, if you still can't connect, what do you have in the textbox to the right of the "Connect" button?

    By default, I had 127.0.0.1:XXXX and console connections failed with an error "Disconnect reason: E: TCP: SECURITY_ERROR Error #2048".
    Now, the RDP console works fine as I provide my network interface ip address instead of the local loopback ip address (127.0.0.1), .

    The Virtualbox RDP process listen on all network interfaces by default, so I don't understand why the RDP console does not work with 127.0.0.1... Maybe it's an issue with the 3rd party rdp client used by phpvirtualbox.
