Hi, 

I'm unable to share a webcam attached to a mac server to a windows client. In the client when I try to use the webcam, I initially will see an image but it will then time out.

macOS Sequoia 15.5

Windows 11

Logs as follows:

>>> Starting VirtualHere USB Server v4.8.1 (Built: Jul 21 2025, 11:51:36)<<<

2 11:23:57 2025 LOG_WARNING Warning, cannot lookup the exe path, 22 (Invalid argument) (defaulting to HOME)

Hey,

First of all, love the tool. I have used it for arduino ide and matlab so far and it's great. So I accidently clicked always connect on the prompt. Normally this is fine, but i could like to undo this so I can get the prompt. I want to be able to manually select if I want the usb to be shared.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

Hello,

I recently purchased a VirtualHere license to use my Oddor handbrake remotely. The device is correctly detected in Windows (it shows up in joy.cpl), but when I try to calibrate or test it, no input is being registered.

To rule out a hardware problem, I tested the Oddor handbrake directly connected to the target PC, and it works perfectly in that configuration. The issue only occurs when using VirtualHere.

Could you please advise if there is a specific configuration, driver, or setting I should use to get this device fully functional through VirtualHere?

I am using a mac for the server and client and when running lsusb on the client I can see the android device but while using it on the client it is not visible by adb. 

Is this a feature that would only be usable on a paid license? I am trying to validate if this is a tool that will be useful by our team and adb access is important. 

Hello Michael,
By reading the documentation, I stumbled upon :

AutoAttachToKernel Set this to 0 to disable the device being available to the host whenever a remote user is not using the device. The default is 1 for all platforms. Setting this to 0 is sometimes useful to prevent a server OS driver binding to the device and disrupting its redirection.

Hello,

We're using this tool as a way to share licensed products amongst the unit.  I loaded the USB dongle to my computer and ran our program.  Initially it operate just fine but after working for about 5 minutes, the USB dongle disconnects with this error.

Alright, question for everyone: I've had VirtualHere for a while, and specifically the Android USB server installed on my Meta Quest 3, which I use primarily with my HTC face-tracking camera to route to my PC and use with PCVR. Having started poking at it again recently, however, I noticed an issue: for whatever reason, the camera's not showing up on my computer's client, though I know the program itself is working, since it recognizes the USB hub that I use, and also the dongle for my Soundcore VP10 earbuds.

Hello Mike, when I use the Windows server, when the USB is inserted into the computer, the local machine recognizes it. When connecting remotely, the Windows itself may grab it and cause disconnection. However, if the Windows settings ignore this driver, it will be restored the next time the USB is inserted. Is there any good way to solve this problem?

Hello,

I can't seem to find an OpenWRT vh-usb server package for the GL-iNet Slate 7 (GL-BE3600), it has a Qualcomm IPQ5332/AP-MI04.1-C2 board.

below is the output of opkg print-architecture

Dear VirtualHere team, dear Michael,

according to the Changelog, starting with version 5.8.9 admin mode is now the default:

Changed - admin mode is now default in the Client. This means you can kick another user off an in-use device by right clicking on the device and selecting Disconnect from User. Previously you needed to use the -a argument to switch to this mode.
