Support

Hi,
just installed the raspberry pi virtualhere server but cannot get it to work with the MacOs client.

The reason I installed VirtualHere was to get around broken USB ports on a MBP. However, on the Macbook Pro running MacOs 10.9.4, the client does see the disc and I can "use" the disc, but it does not show up in the finder.

The syslog on the server shows the use and on first inspection there are no error messages. The raspberry pi runs rasbian and has been fully updated, as that was suggested as a solution in these forums on a seemingly related MacOs issue.

Problem
Sometimes one can establish a connection with the scanner but often not. It is really a trail-on-error happening. Are you lucky to have an connection, the result of the scanner is poor and not usable (various gray bars on scan).
I was very enthusiastic about VirtualHere but it dropped dramatically fast and for me not usable at this stage.

Hi,

I didnt find it the the compatibility list, so I want to know if the QNAP TS-451 is supported.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm trying virtual here on my qnap nas. It doesn't show up... when looking the /tmp/vhusbd.txt, it shows this message :

/share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/VirtualHere/vhusbdq: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Tue Sep 9 21:54:05 CEST 2014 Failed to start

It is described as enabled on the qpkg page... How can I solve the problem? Thanks.

I don't remember seeing these errors in the log before I upgraded to the latest version.
Not sure what this one means?
1) Sep 9 00:17:24 raspberrypi vhusbdpin: Cannot open device product file, No such file or directory
Loosing data doesn't sound good
2) Sep 9 00:52:57 raspberrypi kernel: [ 404.899508] Transfer to device 9 endpoint 0x1 frame 971 failed - FIQ reported NYET. Data may have been lost.

Hi,

Today I stared to play with USB over IP as I needed to scan something when having only Android device and scanner (wthout support for android). I managed to scan document using windows on remote machine, and well USB Server/Client its great piece of software. But I found bug that might cause me problems in future. USB Device (or at least USB OTG cable) that I want to share must be connected to Android before starting USB server.

Hello,

I'm trying to use a USB sound card with Virtualhere but I can't seem to make it work. Everything works fine with other USB devices (thumbdrives, mouse, ...), but the USB sound card does not work.

Here is my setup:

- Server: Raspberry Pi B running the latest Raspbian
- Client: Windows 7 x64 machine
- when plugged directly on Windows the USB sound card works great and is recognized as "USB PnP Sound Device"

can you please help me with the installation of VirtualHere server on OpenWrt?

I'm running Virtualhereclient on a W8.1 computer and a macBook running OSX 10.10. On both computers it is installed as a service.
On the W8.1 computer everything is running fine and nice.
On mac OS/X 10.10 it takes all CPU-performance of 1 core (sometimes even more according to top). The proces never sleeps, and since installing the day before yesterday, batterylifetime decreases with over 60%. (my macbook is really feeling hot on my legs)

Switch auto use and auto find off does not affect the cpu usage. How to make this tool usable for my macbook?

Not sure if this has been brought up before or not. I'm considering moving to use an LTSP server whereby each Raspberry Pi connects into the LTSP server to remote into a Windows (VDI) desktop. My plan was to have the Virtualhere client running in the Windows image to allow a USB device connected to the Pi to be seen in the Windows VDI image. Not even sure this is doable since I would have to ensure that the LTSP desktop sees the USB connected to the Raspberry Pi.
