libvirt users - Sep 2020 - Re: usb-hdmi-cec-adapter usb pass-through experiences

Greetings,

I need to get a device like this:
https://www.pulse-eight.com/p/104/usb-hdmi-cec-adapter
I have usb pass-through experiences with some usb devices such as dtv, wireless
network, thumbsticks and wireless keyboards.
I know there isn't much to be done in usb pass-through but I did had issues
with the former two, now I'm using a wireless network without and issues.

I wanted to know if someone has tried using this device as pass-through into a
vm and can share his thoughts.

Thanks,

Dagg.

This is exactly the USB - CEC adapter I tried to use in a VM using USB
pass through and there were no issues with doing it. I just assigned
that device to the domain and that was it, everything worked fine.
