steve1977 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 This is quite weird. I have "ticked" the USB port to pass-throug my Iphone (via USB) to my VM running Win10. The port and even in the phone are identified in the settings of the VM. However, after starting the VM, I cannot see the USB / iphone in the VM. Anyone tried this and can share experience?

Stop the VM. Edit the XML. Locate the <controller type='usb'> section and delete the <address> line below it. Then add the following inside the <controller> part: model='nec-xhci' Update the VM and try again. Do NOT edit the VM using the normal editor after making this change. Link to comment
steve1977 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thanks for your quick reply. After deleting the line and addign the comment, the address line somehow re-appeared. Please see below how it now looks like in the XML file: <controller type='usb' index='0' model='nec-xhci'> <alias name='usb'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> Link to comment

It's supposed to. It may have changed a bit, but that's OK. Try booting up the VM with it as is and let me know what happens with your iPhone. Link to comment
steve1977 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Fantastic, it now works. Thanks! Do I need to be cautious with any further edits now? You mentioned in your first post not to use the edit function? Link to comment
jonp Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Correct. If you edit this using the normal webgui editor and hit save, you will lose this custom edit you just made. Thank you for reporting back that this works. We will be incorporating official support for the nex-xhci virtual usb controller in a future release. Link to comment

Love to see this feature in a future release. Particular when using different devices over the same USB, the manual way takes time. Link to comment
steve1977 Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 I noticed that this is set to "solved". It currently is still a manual work-aroud and no fix implemented for 6.1.2. Would be great to keep this open to keep on development agenda. Link to comment
jonp Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 It's marked solved from a support standpoint, but don't worry, it's on our internal development list for inclusion in a future release. I'm hoping for 6.2, but it might not make the cutoff. Keep fingers crossed!! Link to comment
steve1977 Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 Just upgraded to 6.3 and it appears that this has not been fixed yer. Any chance in 6.4? Thanks for considering! Link to comment
JonathanM Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Just upgraded to 6.3 and it appears that this has not been fixed yer. Any chance in 6.4? Thanks for considering! As of today (16 October 2015) the latest released version is 6.1.3 6.2 is still in internal alpha or beta, AFAIK it has not been seen outside the Limetech labs. 6.3 has not even been discussed publicly.

steve1977 Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 Sorry confusion. I just updated to 6.1.3, so obviously it is not in yet. Link to comment
steve1977 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Wanted to check whether there has been some good news and this has been fixed for one of the more recent releases and/or an upcoming release? Thanks in advance! Link to comment
steve1977 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Mmh, it somehow feels wrong to bump this again, but really hope someone can comment. I am undecided to upgrade to 6.2, so hope that someone can comment whether this fix has been implemented? Thanks in advance! Link to comment
