Vero 4K - Working without Power Plug (USB Only)

[Chillbo]

So clearly the Hub does power the device through the Blue USB connector.

This shouldn’t happen

@JimKnopf

Only USB downstream ports are allowed to provide power and the downstream ports here are the Vero ports. USB ports of enclosures are upstream ports which are not allowed to provide any power.

The USB specification does not allow to connect two downstream ports to prevent electrical overloads and damaged equipment therefore “normal” USB cables always have two different plugs at both ends. But this simply concept does not work if one of the ports does not follow the specification which is here the case.

The strange thing is that the OSMC USB 3.0 hub seems to deliver power upstream then… @sam_nazarko, is that correct behaviour?
