I would like to know if anyone is running vmware player 17 on Debian 12 "Bookworm". I have build a pc using i7-12700 cpu and need the video drivers support that are not included with earlier versions of Debian.

Recently I built a new PC and moved my VM's from the old to the new PC. Old PC CPU was i7-7700 with 32GB RAM running Centos 7. New PC CPU is i7-12700 wiith 64GB RAM and 1 TB M.2 SSD running Ubuntu 22.04.2. I am running two Windows 10 guest OS with VM Player 17. These VM's were created in a much older version of VM Player. Ever since I did the upgrade I now get a message "VMware Player recommends 24 GB of system swap space ..." (see attached). I currently only have 2GB swap in Ubuntu but when I look at the swap space use there is only 85MB of the 2GB being used. Not sure why I would need more swap space. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a PC running CentOS 7 with 32G RAM, i7-7700 CPU VMware Player 16 running two Windows 10 Guests. One Win10 guest is set to 10G RAM and the other has 8G RAM assigned to it. On one of the VMs I am running QuickBooks Desktop along with a SQL database program where the SQL database is on a physical server. For some reason QuickBooks is very slow to open and close as well as the database program. Are there any suggestions as to how I can improve performance on these VMs? I have left all the swap space settings as default when installing the various OS both physical and virtual. Both VM's have numcpu set to 4. Any recommendations as to some settings that would improve performance?

I still have been unable to compile vmmon with Centos 8 kernel 4.18.0-305 but if I roll back to kernel 4.18.0.240 it works. The post you linked me does not provide enough instructions as to how to apply the patch. If I could get more specific instructions then it may work.

I have VMware workstation 15 installed on Centos host with Windows 7 VM's. I have a PCI-DIO24 card which does not show in the windows 7 VM device manager. what do I need to do for the VM to recognize this card so I can add the drivers?
I am using VMware Workstation Player (the free version). This does not have the option to upgrade the VM. I was hoping there was a standalone product that would do the conversion.

Yes you are correct it is the guest OS (Windows 7) that will stream VLC but not WMC or HDHomeRun viewer. In addition I created a Windows 10 VM on the same host and also found VLC to work in addition to the Windows 10 HDHomeRun app. If it was a copy protection issue then it would not work on any VM.
