[Spice-devel] 答复: 答复: The second client cannot redirect USB

[韩雪峰]

Hi Victor,

Thanks for your solution. I just find 'usbredirtestclient' in usbredir project, the client has the feature connect to server(QEMU),  and it could connect to server successfully, but I cannot find how to redirect usb device from client to VM. It seems that I need to write some code to redirect USB with usbredir, right ?

Thanks and Regards,
Xuefeng

As Frediano pointed out, USB redirection with SPICE is bounded to the first connected SPICE client.

You can reconfigure your VM to have a TCP backend for your USB devices, the libvirt change would look like this:

    <redirdev bus='usb' type='tcp'>
        <source mode='bind' host='localhost' service='5550'/>
        <protocol type='raw'/>
        <address type='usb' bus='0' port='3'/>
    </redirdev>

And then, you can use usbredirect (from usbredir project) to redirect USB devices from multiple clients.

Note that this is will use plain usbredir protocol over TCP, it isn't secure channel like what SPICE provides.

Cheers,
Victor
