Switching devices from different client

Forums

Hi,

I'd have a virtualhere server on a raspberry pi 4, running using systemd, and several client daemons on other linux machines. I read in the client api post that it is possible to send commands to another instance of the client using named pipes.

If I look on my machines, I see the single path '/tmp/vhclient_ipc/socket', where the post says linux uses two pipes, one for each direction. As I understand it, pipes and sockets are different things.

Do you have any examples of accessing different clients?

Geovision GV-Series USB Protector issue

Forums

I'm having an odd issue when connecting to a Geovision GV-Series USB Protector key using Virtualhere. When the device is selected for use, it shows up in device manager with an error code 10, The specified request is not a valid operation for the target device. If I disable the device in device manager and re-enable it, it then works fine. Running the latest 5.0.2 client on Windows Server 2016, and server version 3.4.7.1 on a QNAP TS432XU-RP.

Buy a license from a different device?

Forums

Hi,

I want to buy a license for my Shield TV so I can connect my Xbox controller adapter. Now the Shield tv doesn't have a browser and even though I installed one on mine, I want to buy through a different device because doing so on the Shield simply is a pain in the ass.

Now I noticed that the serial you get on the purchase page is different per device. So if I buy the license from lets say my phone, can I still enter the serial on my Shield TV? Surely this process should be A) documented on the site and B) certainly can (and should) be a lot more consumer friendly.

IPC error

Forums

Hi all,

Without any change to my configuration, this morning, I was not able to connect to my VirtualHere server using the VirtualHere Client on my linux machine (CentOS 8 ).

I keep having this kind of error when running any command (as simple as ./vhclient -t "LIST") :

> ERROR: Unknown IPC request

Any idea ? It's really frustrating because everything was working fine before ..

Thanks,

BG

Event that could shutdown a Raspberry PI?

Forums

Is there an event I can use to run `sudo shutdown -h now` on my server?

I try to shutdown the Raspberry Pi running the Virtual Server before I power down. I can do this by sshing in, but something that I could trigger from the client (UI) woud be helpful.

I know that the event system is locked down a bit ... and there are risks to opening it up. I'd be OK with that risk....
