I am looking for sharing things like a folder with ushare. I got the program running with xbox to play the music but it crashes through a song. Does anyone know how to fix it?
My router is echolife (it came with the talktalk broadband). It looks like a picture frame you find it if you live in the UK.
Just want to ask if it can be fixed or if it is a router problem. Do I need to configure anything in ushare?
After installation we need to configure ushare to meet our network settings. This can be done using the ushare configuration assistant
sudo dpkg-reconfigure ushare
We can also set configuration options in /etc/ushare.conf. For streaming to an XBox 360 make sure this file contains the following lines:
USHARE_ENABLE_XBOX=yes # for Xbox360 support
USHARE_ENABLE_DLNA=no # only needed for Playstation 3
The ushare service can then be started or stopped with
sudo service ushare start # stop for terminating
or by running ushare from the command line
ushare -D --name=<name_of_my_stream> --content=<path_to_mediafiles>
For further options see also the project home page at geekbox.
There is also a GUI to set up shared directories and start the stream (stream2ip).
If configured you can also use the ushare webinterface for configuring stream directories: http://localhost:49200/web/ushare.html
I use rygel to share media with the Xbox, no configuration required, just start it and it "just works". Very reliable and just an apt-get install ... away. https://live.gnome.org/Rygel
Personally I'd not recommend ushare since its development has been discontinued:
I use minidlna which is actively maintained and is small and lightweight:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/
Minidlna is in the repositories and can be configured for the xbox 360
