Restoring Ignored devices

Submitted by bardamu31803 on #1

Hello,

I accidentally ignored a device and I can't seem to find a way to restore it.

I checked the vhui.ini file to see if I could edit it to remove the "ignored devices" section, but there seems to be no such section in this file. What am I missing here? There must be some way to bring back the device.

You have to stop the server, edit the server config.ini file and then remove that item from the IgnoredDevices line then restart the server.

At the moment there is no way to unignore from the client...

Thanks for your reply.

Where can I find the config.ini file?

It tells you in syslog e.g

grep vhusbd /var/log/syslog

Its usually in the same directory as the binary itself

Hi, Im having the same problem. I ended the server and modified the .ini file but the device wont show up. I also deleted the .ini to see if a new fresh one would be created when i relaunched the program but it wasnt.

here are the contents of the ini:
[General]
AdminMode=0
HideMenuItems=
MainFrameWidth=400
MainFrameHeight=294
SSLCAFile=
AutoFind=1
ReverseLookup=0
AutoMinimize=0
AutoRefreshLookupPeriod=30
SSLClientCert=
AutoUseDelaySec=0
[Settings]
ManualHubs=
[Transport]

PingTimeout=10

e0319e09798c.4418.10462.112=0
e0319e09798c.112=0

Is there a way i can get a fresh start?
thanks

It's a server side config.ini. You are looking at the client vhui.ini instead.

Thanks for the fast reply Michael

Sorry, I'm still confused. Is the server side ini found in the same location?

I'm using an Xbox controller on a steam link if that makes any difference.

I dont know how valve have setup the steamlink with virtualhere. I think you will need to reinstall the beta firmware and i think that will clear the settings. I better include the unignore feature towards the top of my TODO list :)

reinstalling the beta firmware didnt take care of it, but a system reset did.

thanks

I cannot find config.ini in \windows\systems32 and neither could I when I do search in C:\
So how can I restore the ignored device now?

thanks

In the client right click on the Server->Properties->Ignores->(Unignore)
