What is a VV file?

VV files mostly belong to Virt-viewer. The VV file is a configuration file used by Virt-viewer to store connection data for virtual machines.
It holds details such as server addresses, port numbers, and session options that allow Virt-viewer to establish remote connections.
This file is text-based, making it editable if needed, but care must be taken to avoid syntax errors.
Key points as outlined by FilExt.com include:

Storing connection parameters

Facilitating access to remote virtual machines

Working as an internal configuration for virtualization setups

How can I open a VV file?

You need a suitable software like Virt-viewer to open a VV file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your VV file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a VV file directly in the browser:.

Programs that open and convert VV files:

Virt-viewer
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. VV files are often referred to as Virt-viewer settings because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
virt-viewer
A .vv file is a configuration file used by virt-viewer, a graphical tool for connecting to and interacting with virtual machines. It stores connection details such as the hostname or IP address of the virtual machine server, the display number, and optional security settings like TLS encryption and authentication methods. These files simplify the process of connecting to virtual machines by encapsulating all the necessary parameters in a single file, allowing users to launch a connection with a single click or command. The format is generally plain text and can be edited manually, though virt-viewer itself provides a graphical interface for managing connections and generating these files. Understanding the structure of a .vv file can be helpful for troubleshooting connection issues or automating virtual machine access. This file format is classified as Configuration file.

VV file extension format:

The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our examination of the VV files comes to the following conclusion:

VV is seldom used as a file extension and mainly uses a defined VV format. The file formats most commonly found in VV files are:

80% of all VV files are virt-viewer configuration files, which are based on the config file format. A configuration file is used by computer software to store settings. It consists of a text-based content with a structure and syntax comprising key–value pairs for properties, and sections that organize the properties. These files are text files and can therefore be read using a text editor. The file size is in the range of 1 KB to 3 KB. The file type was created recently. The keywords [virt-viewer], host, password, title, fullscreen=0, delete-this-file=1, type=spice, port, toggle-fullscreen=shift+f11, release, # Password is valid for 120 seconds and proxy are typical for these files. An example of a file name is pve-spice.vv or console.vv. Files like these are sometimes connected to spice and isard.
10% of all VV files are based on the well-known MKV file format. MKV is short for Matroska Multimedia Container. It can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, picture, or subtitle tracks in one file. It is a universal format for storing common multimedia content, like movies or TV shows. Matroska is similar to AVI, MP4, or ASF, but is entirely open in specification and consisting of open source software. The contents of these files cannot be read by a human; only a computer program can interpret the data. The file size is in the range of 7 MB to 76 MB. The following keywords are characteristic: matroskaB. An example of a file name is Video000.vv.

The remaining 10% of all VV files are different files with different signatures. Just click the "Choose your .vv file to analyze" button on this page to find out what your VV file is.

How to solve problems with VV files

Associate the VV file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open configuration files. Because only the current version supports the latest VV file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available Virt-viewer update.
To make sure that your VV file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
