RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 Ondrej Holy 2019-10-15 13:38:22 UTC 
It doesn't work on Fedora as well, this is because the corresponding -DCHANNEL_URBDRC_CLIENT=ON and -DCHANNEL_URBDRC=ON build options are not used (resp. some dependencies are missing). Hmm, it would be nice to remove "/usb" from help output if it is not built. Also, it would be nice to print more user-friendly error in this case. Anyway, I will take a look at what needs to be done to support this feature...
Comment 2 Ondrej Holy 2019-11-15 11:52:19 UTC 
I've tried to rebuild the freerdp package with the mentioned build options, but the redirection fails for me with various errors, which made me think that it is not enabled on purpose. Can you please be more specific about your needs? Is it ok if we remove /usb and other unsupported options from help, or do you really need USB redirection for some reason? Also if you are our customer, please contact our support team.
Comment 3 Gerrit Slomma 2019-11-15 12:04:06 UTC 
I just wanted to provide the (virtualized on a server) Windows 10 with a localy plugged in USB-Stick and -smartcard-Reader.
If it is not possible to support it i could live with that for the moment.
But i think the help and doc should be updated.
Comment 4 Ondrej Holy 2019-11-18 09:42:18 UTC 
Thanks for the info. Mass storage devices aren't supported by USB redirection. There is /drive for this purpose. For smartcards there is /smartcard. So you should not need /usb, but let this open as it would be nice to remove unsupported options from the help...
Comment 7 Gerrit Slomma 2020-05-09 11:25:08 UTC 
Hello.
/drives, /audio, /mic, /smartcard are working.
But what about webcams?
Comment 8 Martin Krajnak 2020-05-13 12:58:35 UTC 
The xfreerdp binary from freerdp-2.0.0-47.rc4.el8 does not contain /usb in help anymore.
Comment 9 Ondrej Holy 2020-05-13 13:14:11 UTC 
For webcams is /usb needed, but if I am not mistaken, it is not enabled, because it is pretty buggy. There is also a new protocol for webcam redirection, but it is not implemented yet, see https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/issues/4971. If you need this feature, please open a new feature report, but preferably over our customer portal...
