Support for VirtualHere hardware and software

Is there a way to "steal" the USB from another client?

Forums

Right now I have a printer connected and I have the computer it will mostly be used on on "auto use device". Is there a way for other computers/clients to be allowed to "steal" the device and connect and use the printer, then when they un-use it, it will be auto-used by the original computer again? If the functionality isn't there yet maybe it could be a menu option on a client to "allow devices to be stolen from me" if that makes sense. Thanks.

Arduino Easyfind issue

Forums

<p>I'm having an issue with uploading a sketch to an arduino with EasyFind. My setup is a Raspberry Pi 3B server running the generic 32-bit build with kernel version 5.4.72-v7+ and a Windows 10 Pro 2004 using the VirtualHere client v5.1.3. I am using the free version of VirtualHere and a trial version of EasyFind. Uploading a sketch on a local network results in no issues. When connecting it with EasyFind my Windows PC recognizes the Arduino as COM9 and Device Manager says the device is working properly.

Devices only show up sometimes

Forums

I have a USB Hub (powered), with 2 devices plugged into it, on multiple occasions the devices worked fine in this configuration, but now they aren't showing up, are there anty more steps I can do to debug why they aren't showing up, or commands I can run on the pi to poll and check if the devices are seen?

Oculus Rift S - is there anyway to connect to VH ?

Forums

I have set up my racing rig in the basement, VH is working perfectly for my wheel and all regular USB attachments, I want to connect the Rift S - is there any way to do this? perhaps some workaround to connect the DisplayPort plug via a USB 3.0 adapter?
I really don't want to have to buy an Oculus Quest 2 (although I hear that it works great with VH)

Any leads would be greatly appreciated

thanks

VH Server on ARM based Mac (Apple M1)

Forums

Hi there,

I didn't find anything on this topic. So I was wondering, if VH Server would work on ARM based Mac (macOS 11.1+). I tried installing it, then an error message came up, saying the developer has to "adjust" something.

Here are my two questions:
Is there a work around, to make VH Server work on Apple M1?

OS X allows more than one program to access a USB device at a time. Can Linux?

Forums

The Linux FAQ says: "Can more than one client use the same USB device simultaneously? No, not physically possible"

Interesting on MacOS I am able to run two programs that use the same USB in an interleaved style. As long as they both don't send commands on the USB at the same time, it works!. There are occasional issues, but it mostly works with some refreshes needed sporadically.

The USB on the other end uses HID profile. Not sure if that makes a difference or not. Also, one of the programs is in python using the hidapi library.

USB Device -> VH Server (Linux) -> VH Client (Linux) -> Mac OS

Forums

With the kext issues in Big Sur for the HV Client, would it be possible to have add a VH Client to Raspberry PI and then connect the Pi to the Mac via a USB Cable?

Instead of running VH client on MacOS you run it on some other device which connects via USB cable to a Max.

Hub found after 30 minutes, sometimes not at all

Forums

Hello I have a question,

We want to use this program because of CoVid people are working home.

From a laptop they RDP into their computer at work.
On the laptop they run VirtualHere Server.
On the computer at work they run VirtualHere Client.

In VirtualHere Client we set up the laptop name with port :7575.

When RDP'd into the PC VirtualHere Client says "Connecting to USB hub..." and after 30 minutes finally the USB devices show up. Today I tried it again but didn't work, for my colleague it's not working at all.
