Hi,
The idea here is that a usb device connected to machine a, will be
available for use by the guest os running on host b (machine b).
I'm working on this because it is something which we want / need
for spice. I'm wondering if there is interest in this outside
of spice ?
Sure. The idea to support usb forwarding over vnc comes up now and
then. Also having a standalone app is probably useful for testing and
development and maybe logging the communication between guest OS and device.
I'm asking because at this moment in time the redirection support
can probably be written in a way which abstracts the transport channel
quite easily, allowing use outside of spice.
Yes, I think we certainly want to do that. I think on the qemu side we
want plumbing into chardev and spice, maybe also vnc. On the client
side a library (building on top of libusb?), a standalone app and
support in spice client and maybe gtk-vnc would be good I think.
cheers,
Gerd
