[Spice-devel] Userquestion - remote-viewer connection fails with "Connection type could not be determined by URI"

Thu Nov 17 09:13:35 UTC 2022

no this is the normal forward-slash with "shift+7" on the german keyboard -
googlemail messed it up translating it to something else.
The URL  is normally typed.

This is really weird and I will try to help you as much as I can to get to
