Using local USB device on a VM connected through SPICE?

[withervoice]

Hi. So.

How would I go about getting a USB device that is connected to the remote viewer client machine, to show up in a VM running remotely on a ProxMox server, but connected to with SPICE protocol? I'm talking memory sticks, printers and the like. Is this possible/not too difficult?

The VMs will be Windows machines, Windows 7 for the foreseeable future, at least... and technically we don't have much in the way of control over what the remote viewer is running IN, but I'm thinking that's mostly going to be Windows, too.

I apologize if this has been asked before, but frankly I was unsure if the previous discussions I read through were actually about this scenario (I'm new to this).

*blush* I can't believe I missed that, I must have stared at that wiki page for hours.

Yes, that looks good, but I can't get it to work...

hope you didn' miss the note "You need to use a virt-viewer on a Linux Desktop."

it could be spice itself that is not yet finished (or not?):

CIAO. COSÌ.

Come potrei fare per far sì che un dispositivo USB connesso al computer client del visualizzatore remoto venga visualizzato in una VM in esecuzione in remoto su un server ProxMox, ma connesso con il protocollo SPICE? Sto parlando di memory stick, stampanti e simili. E' possibile/non troppo difficile?

Le VM saranno macchine Windows, Windows 7 per il prossimo futuro, almeno... e tecnicamente non abbiamo molto in termini di controllo su ciò che il visualizzatore remoto sta eseguendo, ma penso che per lo più sarà essere anche Windows.

Mi scuso se questo è stato chiesto prima, ma francamente non ero sicuro che le discussioni precedenti che ho letto riguardassero effettivamente questo scenario (sono nuovo in questo).

Sto utilizzando Windows client, rdp VM Windows e voglio utilizzare la mia USB Wacom su questa macchina virtuale.
It works for you?
