Instructions for VirtualBox should mention USB #31278

Feedback

I went through the entire initial setup, and although HA found my Roku box and Router (UPnP) it did NOT fine my hub. It WAS plugged in and recognized by my host PC, but I had not thought to use the Virtualbox USB configuration to make sure that the HA VM also saw it.

That was feedback, not a help request. It was a suggestion that the docs should mention that if setting up HA in VirtualBox, and the hub is a USB device, you need to be sure the USB device is actually seen by the VirtualMachine. Other than that, this can be closed.
