Support

Hi Michael,
VH has been working nicely for a couple weeks, all of a sudden (POSSIBLY after QNAP firmware update?), the connected devices are not being found. I was using a Belkin F5U234 4-port hub, but even connected direct to unit, they're not visible.
Is there some command I can SSH into my NAS to see what devices it's seeing? At this point I can't tell if it's a NAS problem or VH.

Also, the client app never starts minimised, even though the option is enabled. (Win 8.1x64)

All the best,
Dax.

Hi. I'm a Linux user but I own a lot of doohickeys (especially GPS devices) that work best under Windows: firmware upgrading software, syncing software, stuff like that.

What I want to do, but haven't done yet, is (1) to setup a little raspberry pi somewhere in my apartment for the USB port (2) run Windows in the cloud somewhere (3) connect the two with VirtualHere and (4) use some remote desktop software to access the Windows installation and run the proprietary software, which will access the USB port in my apartment. Yay.

I'm pretty sure you can "use the device" only when a particular .exe is running. This would help me to connect or disconnect devices automatically when moonlight opens or closes, for example.

For instance I have a mouse with many buttons. These functions can only be used by windows. The mouse is connected to the raspberry and only the basic buttons work. Now if I "use the device" raspberry stops recognizing it. That is why I would like it to only "use the device" when I am streaming the moonlight session. And, of course, it will stop "being used" when leaving the session.

Hello,

I am using:

vhusbdarm server on RaspberryPi 2 Model B, Linux raspberrypi 5.4.51-v7+
huit64 client on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS

I am testing how well a HD camera would stream from RPi to Ubuntu:

In proprietary video software (Cheese) I am getting black screen.
In Chromium, I am getting a heavily artefacted stream.

Checking webcam directly on RPi (not using Virtual Here):

In Chromium, I am getting a steady, albeit a very slightly delayed video.

I am running the vhclientx86_64 in Ubuntu 18.04 (as a service), and I have noticed a lot of mDNS_AddDNSServer errors in the log. These seem to be coming from the vhclient:

vhui.service - LSB: Start VirtualHere USB Sharing on startup

Looking for some tips on how to get the last device I need working before taking the plung on a licence.

I've tested the other things (one at a time) that will potentially be used in my set-up, and they all work fine - plug them into the windows server, show up and are useable on the windows client. If I can get everything to work I'll buy the licence and finally have a happy life.

However the last part of the puzzle is my Nikon D3200 DLSR, which keeps erroring out when i try to connect. The log on the server says:

I'm not trying to criticize or even influence your choice of how you're licensing (I realize there may be a lot going on I'm completely unaware of). Just offering a perspective from one hobbiest user:

I've been attempting to share my SteelSeries headset through VirtualHere between my laptop and desktop PC. Both are connected to the same switch, which is under my desk and has 3 feet of cable between them.

I've solved the issue with getting the device to share to the laptop (using an older server version it seems), and the speakers work fine. When recording audio or speaking it sounds like I am a robot. I don't understand what I could change to fix this issue? Any help is appreciated.

Noob question sorry. I keep seeing mentions of zerotier and tailscale. What do these do with VirtualHere specifically with android Nvidia Shield TV?
Do they perform better with less latency?

I have always just ran the VirtualHere android app and opened up the ports on my router. Thanks.

Hi. I purchased the VirtualHere license through the Steam store to use it for 3 devices. But I noticed one thing that the license is active only when remote play is started via a steamlink. If the remote play is not running, I cannot use VirtualHere. This causes a lot of inconvenience when I try to use the program without playing remotely. Can I configure VirtualHere (maybe entering a license manually) so that the license is always active, regardless of whether remote play is running?
