operation failed: Multiple USB devices for 20bc:504d, use to specify one

[Yvan]

I have a Windows 10 virtual machine currently connected with a keyboard, a mouse, and two gamepads. The two gamepads are of the same model, with identical product IDs. When booting up, I encountered an error message: 'operation failed: Multiple USB devices for 20bc:504d, use to specify one.'

The default USB configuration in the Windows XML is as follows:

<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='no'>
  <source>
    <vendor id='0x05ac'/>
    <product id='0x024f'/>
  </source>
  <address type='usb' bus='0' port='2'/>

    <product id='0xfa61'/>
  </source>
  <address type='usb' bus='0' port='4'/>

The USB devices information is as follows:

update：

Yesterday, I only connected one USB controller, selected it in the Windows virtual machine, and then started it up. Today, when I returned home, I found that this game controller had been recognized as an Xbox controller and was working fine. At this point, I connected another controller to Unraid, selected it in Windows, and started it up, but the other controller still showed as ID 20bc:504d ShenZhen ShanWan Technology Co., Ltd. BEITONG A1T2 BFM DONGLE, and couldn't function properly.

After disconnecting and reconnecting both controllers, they reverted to their original state, both displaying as ID 20bc:504d ShenZhen ShanWan Technology Co., Ltd. BEITONG A1T2 BFM DONGLE. Just now, I connected one game controller first, then selected it in Windows and started it up, and then connected the second controller.

That's the complete situation. It seems that if the game controller is recognized as an Xbox controller, it works properly. But how can I make both game controllers recognized as Xbox controllers? Is it possible that after connecting the game controller to Unraid, it needs some time to automatically identify as an Xbox controller before it can work properly?

You need to use bus and device ID for same type. I have a plugin that will do that automatically for you based on the port it is connection or device+serial and map into the VM when it starts or is hot plugged. Also you need to set USB3 in the vm as USB2 will not have enough free USB ports.

 

look for USB Manager in CA. You will need to remove the mappings from the VM Template of the ones you want to map using my plugin.

The USB manager resolved the issue with my two gamepads. However, it's odd that my mouse and keyboard have remained in a disconnected state. Currently, my gamepads are mapped through the USB manager, while the mouse and keyboard are being accessed in the settings of the virtual machine, and everything is functioning properly

Can you provide a screen shot, the keyboard and mouse should show as connected(outside) as not action by USB Manager. Try stop vm physically unplug the keyb and mouse and startagain to see if that fixes the USB screen. It may be that the state file does not include those devices, but should add them.
