I've tried looking around but I can't figure out what's going on here. I used uShare before and it worked without a hitch! I followed these instructions here to the T. However, I recently did a reinstallation of 9.10 and followed the exact same instructions, and now I can't get uShare to come up on my PS3 (I haven't changed any settings on the PS3 or network since then, just reinstalled Ubuntu).

I have a Ushare server up and running in Ubuntu-Server 10.10. So far the only video type I have been able to get working on my Xbox360 is .avi. I am very interested in configuring it to play .wmv and .mkv videos as well, seeing as most of my library is made up of these two file-types. After taking a look at ushare's documentation, I found that .wmv and .mkv are both fully supported video formats; however, I can't seem to get either of them to work. Every time I attempt to play either of those two type, I receive a message saying: Unplayable Content: Can't play this content because it may not be supported. For more info, go to.... Here is my ushare.conf file:

I have a Samsung BD-6800 blu-ray player that i want to stream HD mkv files to from my pc. I made sure DLNA was enabled in the /etc/ushare.conf file. The blu-ray player sees my pc perfectly and i can navigate to the folders where the videos are stored, however when i select a folder with videos in it all that is shown is an option called "upper folder" which takes me back to the root directory. The videos are nowhere to be found. I checked on the Ushare web site to see if mkv files are supported which they are.
Here is what my /etc/ushare.conf looks like.
Code:
# /etc/ushare.conf
# Edit this file with 'dpkg-reconfigure ushare'
# Configuration file for uShare
# uShare UPnP Friendly Name (default is 'uShare').

I have been using uShare for a few years now, and up until now it has worked great. A few snags here and there, but nothing I couldn't figure out, although after five years using Ubuntu, i still consider myself a noob. Now I am on a new machine, running Ubuntu 11.04 (my last one was running 9.04) and I am having trouble with uShare again. Its installed, configured, and runs just fine, but my xbox won't recognize it.Here's the catch: the first night I set it up, after a few errors, I got it working! Watched a movie, smiled, and went to bed. Woke up the next morning, booted up the comp, fired up ushare and BAM! Nothing. I hadn't changed any settings, moved any cables, downloaded anything new, but no dice. After a little searching, I updated the .conf file to reflect a change I noticed in the IFACE. Sometimes when I boot my computer, it connects to the router on eth0, sometimes on eth1, and sometimes on eth0-eth1. I'm not sure what is up with that, but that may be a problem for another day. For right now, I just want uShare to work.

I'm using ushare 1.1 with my xbox360 and I'm trying to stream an avi file. It loads up ok and starts to play then after a minute it stops and loads up more of the video. I seem to remember this happening with my ps3 and mediatomb as well. Is there something I can change on my router (bt home hub)? I have enabled port forwarding for the port that ushare is running on. here's my ushare.conf

Is there another program I can use to share my movies to my 360? Ive tried setting uShare up numerous times, and always get errors. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and now I can even re-download it.

I am trying to stream my music and videos to my xbox 360 from ubuntu 10.10, and I have set up ushare to do that. Ushare seems to be workign correctly, it starts up and the xbox recognises the share from the media menu, but there is no videos or music! For some reason ushare doesnt find any media in the folders I specified, and I double checked and the paths look correct to me. This is the error I get in the terminal:
[Code]...
I have ushare server connected to my 360 and its working fine, I can see my videos and watch them perfectly, but my music or mp3's arent displaying on the 360 properly at all.
In the video library it displays all the sub folders with the videos in them first and then the video files that arent in a folder, thats normal for me. But the music libray is only showing 1000 files and half of it is the album art jpg files etc. I have well over 30,000 mp3's and 98% of them are organised into folders etc.
Why its sharing my files in this way?
I have multiple hard drives with videos on them and i can only get the my xbox to read the 1st in my list of directories. So i wanted to know can i run multiple instances of ushare and use one for each hard drive? Is it possible?

all the tutorials i found for ushare and mediatomb shows it installed on desktop and not server. it also requires an account to be logged in. once logged it, you have to run a command to start it up. some questions.
1) is there a way to run either one w/o having to log into an account? so if say i restarted the server, it'll run the programs w/o me having to log in.
2) i would like to specify a directory to share music and movies. is one better than the other? clients that i plan to use are songbird, itunes (maybe), and vlc - maybe xbox 360 and ps3. other client suggestions?
3) other dlna server suggestions? this will be running on ubuntu 10 or 11 desktop or server. but the main thing i'm looking for is what i mentioned in #1.
So in trying to install ushare to be able to play my music and videos on my xbox 360, I have apparently screwed something up and now I can't get ushare to work. I can't even get it uninstall and do a fresh install. I used the instructions found here: [URL]. I got down to the basic configuration tool. I entered the name of the media server, which I called Ubuntu_Media_Server. Then I identified my network interface, which was my wireless connection (wlan0). Then I told it what directory to share, which was /home/ryan/music and hit enter.
It did exactly what it was supposed to do which was to restart ushare. And then, oops, I forgot, I wanted to be able to see my videos as well as my music, so I went back and ran the same command that I had to start the configuration tool which was $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure ushare and voila, I went back and added in the directory for the video folder that I wanted to share and hit enter. Again, it restarted as expected then it said permission was denied to the video folder. So I went to the video folder and gave permission for it to be shared. So then in all my illustrious wisdom (which apparently equates to dumbass), I decided to completely uninstall ushare and do a fresh install. Then it wouldn't reinstall, same problem permission denied for the video file.
I'm trying to us ushare to stream music and video to my 360. I have ushare setup and my 360 sees ushare but none of the files I'm trying to stream. When I run ushare -x it only sees the two folders I'm sharing and none of the files.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just installed ushare on Fedora 10 (yum install ushare is all it took to do), and followed the guidance then to configure sharing for an Xbox 360, [URL] the code below. Notice the last line...due to stopping process in the terminal via Ctrl+C. It appears to me, based on this ending UPNP sharing, that the first line will need to be run each time want to turn on sharing, right? I thought this would simply configure ushare sharing one time, and possibly intiate some sort of file sharing service on each boot, but this appears not to be the case. If I am right, does anyone know how I can develop a script to run at boot to allow ushare to open sharing and keep it open?

I installed it on a Dell Inspiron 531 with the GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 built in video card. From the recommend driver list I installed �NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current) [Recommended
Well, turns out it should not have been recommended. I had restarted and all I got was a low res ubuntu logo and a boot right into a full screen terminal. Tried startx and got a no screens found, I look online for about an hour last night and decided to just reinstall, which takes a couple hours when installing all the packages.
I have done more research today and found to install the latest linux x64 driver from nVidias website, which I did, but it does not run. I followed some more instructions and it said to do a �sudo chmod +x <file>� which I did, and it starts to open and I get �You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing.�
I�m starting to get a little frustrated here, guess I�m just used to a lot of the ease of windows and assumed that something like installing a graphics card driver would be easy.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI finally installed Squeeze on my laptop and found out that the XF86Audio multimedia keys do not work.
When I press them, they're correctly identified by xev but they do not produce the desired effect (raise/lower/mute volume, play/pause/stop/prev/next song in media players like Sonata).
Funnily enough though, they do work in Audacious, which has its own plugin to manage XF86Audio media keys.
So it's like the action of pressing these keys is not intercepted by the system and no event is triggered.
I think this might be due to a missing package or configuration but I have no idea where to look...
I have uShare 1.1a setup to talk to my XBox 360. If I share a directory that has no subdirectories, the video files display on the XBox. However, most of my files are in sub-directories on a different partition - I don't really want to copy them to the share, but uShare doesn't seem to recognise any sub-directories or files contained therein.
I have tried setting up symbolic soft links directly to the video files (although this is a pain, it is better than moving the files)...
Code:
ln -s /home/jonftp/TV-Shows/Buffy/Season-1/Buffy-101.avi /home/share/Buffy-101.avi
...but these don't show up on the XBox either.
How can I get uShare to "drill down" the directory structure to list the files or how can I get uShare to follow symbolic links?
I have recently purchase a Dyxel DMA-1100p and have had a great success rate using the native MS windows software to broadcast my media files from the server to the TV that the DMA is connected to. I have install ushare on Fedora 12 and have not had much luck streaming media to the TV with it.
I have all the ports outlined in [URL] set to forward to the DMA, when accessing the server menu of the DMA "Fedora" shows in the server list but cannot be access. I either receive "starting server" or "Not authorized to browse this server" I have tried with router setting for UPNP enabled and disabled without any luck.

My fresh install of 10.04 on my newly built desktop won't play a DVD. Samsung 24X DVD Burner SH-S243N/BEBS
I am sure there is some little programplugin I need.
I was replacing my media setup(10.04) with an upgrade and encountered the following problem: I can't get the tv out working. I tried both with the NVidia drivers and without a xorg.conf file (vesa, according to xorg.log) The motherboard is an Asus P4P800-VM (with integrated graphics), the GPU is an old NVidia GeForce 4 MX 440. I took the card from the old setup because of the tv-out, so I know the card itself is fine, using a crt monitor on the VGA port also works without problems. I noticed that the old setup also used the tv as its screen, for displaying the BIOS POST and bootscreen, while the new machine just stays blank(no signal). There is an option in the bios to set a tv as the primary boot screen, but to no effect. Using the xorg.conf generated by the myhtbuntu installer, the console (tty1-6) has this weird pink color, this does not occur when generating the config with the nvidia tools, or when completely deleting the xorg.conf file.
