Description of problem: When using a vv-file to connect, usb-filter field is ignored. remote-viewer should to pass the value to spice-gtk. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-viewer-2.0-6.el7 How reproducible: Happens every time. Steps to Reproduce: By checking debug messages: 0. Start a VM with USB enabled. In this example I'll use disable-ticketing,port=5907 and connect from localhost. 1. Create a vv-file. $ cat > /tmp/console.vv << EOF [virt-viewer] type=spice host=localhost port=5907 enable-usbredir=1 enable-usb-autoshare=1 usb-filter=-1,8888,9999,-1,0 EOF 2. Run remote-viewer and connect to the vm; Look at debug messages. $ remote-viewer --spice-debug /tmp/console.vv |& grep 'auto-connect filter' 3. Close remote-viewer. By checking functionality 0. VM is already running 1. Modify the vv-file -- change usb-filter to reject all devices usb-filter=-1,-1,-1,-1,0 2. Run remote-viewer remote-viewer /tmp/console.vv 3. With focus on remote-viewer, plug in a usb-disk device and see if it is being auto-shared with the guest. Actual results: debug-messages: only the following messages are seen: auto-connect filter set to 0x03,-1,-1,-1,0|-1,-1,-1,-1,1 functionality: USB disk device is auto-share with the guest. Expected results: debug-messages: the following line appears auto-connect filter set to -1,8888,9999,-1,0 functionality: USB disk device is not shared with the guest. Additional info: 1. Problem exists on upstream git too. 2. remote-viewer --spice-usbredir-auto-redirect-filter=-1,-1,-1,-1,0 spice://localhost:5907 works well

I can reproduce it with virt-viewer-2.0-6.el7.x86_64. Steps: 1. Prepare a guest and a ini file and set the "usb-filter=-1,-1,-1,-1,0" to forbid any usb device. # cat b.ini [virt-viewer] type=spice host=localhost port=5901 enable-usbredir=1 enable-usb-autoshare=1 usb-filter=-1,-1,-1,-1,0 2. Run "remote-viewer b.ini" to connect to the guest. 3. Plug a usb device into the host device. Acutal Result: The usb device pops up in the guest. Then updated to latest virt-viewer-2.0-7.el7.x86_64 and retested it again. The usb device cannot pop up. Set the usb-filter to "usb-filter=-1,-1,-1,-1,1" and replug the usb device, it can pop up successfully. So it is fixed and move it from ON_QA to VERIFIED.
