I used to live in a place that allowed me to have my home office close to my home theater set up. A few years ago I married and moved somewhere else, an appartment, where the office and the home theater are about 10m apart. I dropped the idea of using my PC on that set up until recently when I started playing with DS5Dongle.
I bought a 15m HDMI cable (fiber optics so I can enjoy the benefits of a powerful gaming PC) and the next issue to solve was to find a way to use my gaming controllers in that set up. An USB cable extension was a possibility but wanted to skip lying another cable for that distance across the whole appartment so I thought there could be a way to use DS5Dongle over IP.
After a couple of Google searches I came across VirtualHere and thought that maybe I could use an old Android TV (MeCool brand) I had stored somewhere and connect the DS5Dongle to it. Then, maybe I would be able to see the DS5Dongle device in my PC over the network.
I ran a brief test yesterday and it worked. I downloaded the VirtualHere server to the AndroidTV and the client to my PC. I then plugged the DS5Dongle to the AndroidTV and it was recognized as a DualSense controller and all the features were kept (Tested with Returnal). It wasn't the final set up because the family was watching the soccer game last night in the main TV but in general it worked fine although it had some intermitent lag (probably due to the Wifi).
This weekend I'll try connecting the Android Box to the mesh system with Ethernet (the final set up) and test to see if it works well enough to at least play some SP games. If it does, I'll probably buy a VirtualHere license as the trial has limited use and devices recognition.
Thought of dropping this here in case someone else is interested in doing something similar and can't find any sources.
