Due its compatibility and stability I would prefer to use VirtualHere (optimized / licensed) on Raspberry Pi 4 instead using Silex DS-600.

Software on Silex DS-600 is sometimes picky and not quite stable.

However, I made a speed comparison with following results:

Silex DS-600 USB-Server / Transcend 128 GB USB3 Stick: stable 120 MByte / Sec. (1,5 GByte file)

VirtualHere (optimized version / licensed) on Raspberry Pi 4 (USB3-Port) / Transcend 128 GB USB3 Stick: 35-40 MByte / Sec. (1,5 GByte file)

Situation:
VirtualHere Client always open a splash-screen (pop-up informational window) if a new USB hub has been recognised and / or a hub in the network has been switched on.
In this informational window there is a short description of the recognised USB hub, like: "Virtual USB Trial Server Edition" and / or "This server is optimized for the maximum speed for the target CPU".

Question:
How to disable this informational but mostly annoying window, which will always pop up on all computers with installed VirtualHere client?

Thanks for help.

EasyFind works in a local network, but does not work remotely, what else needs to be configured?

Maybe I need to open some ports on my router?

Thanks for the answer!

I recently installed the server on a Raspberry Pi 4 and a client on two Window 10 PCs (identical builds). One of the clients finds the server and displays the hub with devices almost instantly while the other PC takes up to an hour to find them. Any ideas or thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am going to use 2 of the Nvidia Shield TV devices (only one will be active at the same time).
My use case is: 1 PC stored away in a room (headless). I am going to use one 2 Shield TV devices (maybe 3 in the future):
1) Is my Thinclient Desktop PC where I do my work but without most of the cables and case)
2) Living Room for 99% playing Steam games remotely

Do I need 2 licenses for this?
What if the device changes, let's say due to a replacement Nvidia Shield (had it replaced one time already last year)?

Hi,

I tried to share my Guardant Code dongle and it's not working. My program can " see " that the dongle is there
but it looks like it cannot make it working properly.

I installed the windows server to be able to pull the logs :

2020-08-16 16:53:23 ERROR :IOCTL_USB_GET_NODE_CONNECTION_INFORMATION_EX_V2 failed for USB\VID_0A89&PID_0009\5&E31A2D8&0&10, Incorrect function. (0x00000001)

any clue ?

best regards,
Marc

Hi,

I'm looking for the last version of the cloudhub for the pi0, but it looks like it's nowhere ?

Also, will you support WD NAS EX2100 ?

best regards,

I am using VirtualHere on my Android TV running Android 8.0 on Sony A8G TV. I have an external plugged into the TV that I use to play media locally on the TV, and installed VirtualHere in order to access the drive from my PC and load content on the drive. I noticed when I run VirtualHere and connect on my PC, the drive is no longer visible on Android. For example is just disappears in VLC. Is this how this program is supposed to function? Is there any way to access the drive on Android while the server is running?

Hello, I tried to install VirtualHere USB from the Google Play store on my Shield TV and I don't get any permissions popups for the device. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but no luck so far. I tried downloading the client on my PC and it does not show any devices on the network. They are both wired directly into the same Router and the router does not have any settings that would impede them from working as I run a few things over my LAN (such as streaming the Shield itself).

Hello, I refer to the FAQ: https://www.virtualhere.com/oem_faq
....
How to i start VirtualHere when my device boots?
....
For systemd based systems: (e.g Raspberry Pi and most modern Linux Distributions)
...
1. ssh to your systemd system (I skipped this as I am already on my Rapsberry directly - hopefully correct?)
2. wget https://www.virtualhere.com/sites/default/files/usbserver/vhusbdarm
3. sudo chmod +x ./vhusbdarm
