Using uShare for streaming video from Ubuntu to Xbox 360

Posted by Alpha Mon, 28 Jan 2008 00:02:59 GMT

With much thanks to this blog post, which reveals how to fix /etc/ushare.conf and /etc/init.d/ushare.

Install the dependencies:

$ sudo apt-get install libupnp-dev pkg-config
$ sudo echo "deb http://www.geexbox.org/debian/ unstable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
$ sudo apt-get install libdlna-dev ushare

(uShare’s being installed here just to grab the conf files.)

Pick up the latest version of uShare (assuming Mercurial is installed):

$ hg clone http://hg.geexbox.org/ushare

In the uShare directory:

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
$ make
$ make install

Now the configuration files need to be edited. Make the appropriate changes to /etc/ushare.conf, making sure to modify ENABLE_XBOX to USHARE_ENABLE_XBOX. The rest should be self-explanatory.

In /etc/init.d/ushare, add USHARE_OPTIONS="-f $CONFIGFILE" so that the correct command line is sent to uShare.

And now you should be able to stream videos from your Ubuntu fileserver to your Xbox 360.

One word has the fellow door. Charming bit is one protective part…
