Support for VirtualHere hardware and software

USB BT connects then disconnects, it used to work before.

Forums

Setup:

Mini-PC running Win 10 and running nothing but Virtualhere Server and hardwired to local LAN.  It has a long range BT USB dongle where controllers and keyboard are connected.  In the other room the gaming PC (Win 11 Pro) where the client is running wired to same LAN.  Both computers are using the latest version of Virtualhere.  Gaming PC sees the server and BT dongle no problem but when I use the device it only connects for a like 2 seconds then disconnects.

 

Steps take to try to resolve:

Feature request: Send custom data from client to server events

Forums

Not that easy to implement, I know:)

The server events system is great and I am automatizing lots of actions with it.
However we are always restricted to what variable is provided to the event.

In an ideal world, I would be able to send from the client some additional custom data to the events.

For example with the onBind event, the client could add in the request a small json string containing additional information available only to the client:

vhclient -t "USE,server1.123,custom_data={'foo': 'bar', 'version': 3, .... }"

Is there a client API available to check if a device is connected to a USB hub that supports power cycling?

Forums

Hi Michael,

Is there a client API available to determine if a USB device is connected to a hub like "VirtualHere USB 3 4-Port Hub" that supports the `power_cycle_port` feature? It seems that using the command `CUSTOM EVENT,<address>,power_cycle_port` returns an 'OK' status even when the device is not connected to a hub or the hub does not support this feature instead of indicating a failure.

Server Driver Install->Error

Forums

Hello

We recently purchased the server license, to be able to run the software as a service. Before we bought the software the program was working fine, and only giving the "you have to buy error" when trying to use it as a service.

 

We have now added the license to the server and are trying to get the usb up and working. with no luck, 

 

When running as a service we get these messages

BSOD caused by vhsd_USB.sys (SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION 0x3b) on Windows 10

Forums

Hi,

I'm experiencing a BSOD on my Windows 10 machine related to the vhsd_USB.sys driver. The error is:


SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (0x3b)
Bugcheck code: 0x0000003b (0xC0000005, 0xFFFFF80775822880, ...)
Faulting driver: vhsd_USB.sys +0x2880
According to the dump analysis, the crash is due to an access violation (NULL pointer dereference) within the vhsd_USB.sys driver:


This happened while using the VirtualHere USB server, and I suspect it's related to a specific USB device or some interaction when reconnecting devices.

Gamecube adapter for virtualhere for steam link

Forums

I'm using virtualhere through the original steam link hardware. I bought an old skool gamecube to USB adapter. I updated the firmware using zadig (link below). When I plug the adapter directly into my PC, dolphin emulator sees the gamecube controller like normal. When I plug it into my steam link and pass the adapter, dolphin doesn't detect the adapter. Steam sees a Betop BFM Gamepad in addition to the dualsense I have attached too. I tried disabling steam input, but that still doesn't resolve the issue.

Connecting via ZeroTier

Forums

Hiya,

I've a team who can all successfully connect to VirtualHere via Zerotier. Amazing how well it works.

But there is this one laptop that used to be able to connect but now cannot. I've tried it on multiple networks, and verified the network isn't an issue by successfully connecting other devices on those networks.

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing VirtualHere and ZeroTier multiple times, and that doesnt solve the issue.

Using VirtualHere run as services (both server and client) and having a VM windows 11 always connecting to a specific USB

Forums

I have installed the VirtualHere on a Windows 2019 server as a service. (I purchased a license). On another physical 2019 server I have a VM windoes 11 running.

On that VM I installed the cliend with the -b option to install as a service. I am trying to get this VM to always connect to a USB port that has a dongle in it. 

Note I am able to get this VM to connect to that port through the UI. I need to get it to connect automatically when the VM is rebooted.
