N299 uShare Media Server & Xbox 360

[fightingmasta]

Hi,

as I can read in this forum, the N299 is using uShare Media Server.
There is a possibilty to activate Xbox 360 support in the uShare config file with "USHARE_ENABLE_XBOX=yes".

Is it possible to edit the corresponding config file manualy (not with the web interface) or is it planed to add such a feature like "Enable Xbox 360 support" in the webinterface?

Best Regards,
fightingmasta

trying to do the same thing as you mate.

Streaming to my dads Netgear EVA8000 works fine and dandy 100% excellent.

Trying to find out how to configure uShare but just running into a shed load of linux commands etc. Also tried installing TwonkyVision but have no idea how to work that or install it to the NAS box.

Its a good wee NAS box but really wanna get this streaming to the xbox.

Any developments? I'll post here if I get anything myself

so bruce, the Netgear EVA8000 streams content fine from the N299? no permission errors, etc?

i hope Thecus don't come back with the same problem as with the PS3...i.e. liscencing issues...

Just got an email back from Thecus tech support suggesting that an update is coming in May and will intend on updating uShare and suggested they would flick the switch in uShare to enable 360 support.

The Netgear badboy works well and works on uPnP A/V also

I think I may have stumbled on the resolution for the N299 with the Playstation 3.
I have also found this information from the " ushare . geexbox . org " Web site for information for the GeeXboX uShare UPnP A/V Media Server GeeXboX uShare UPnP A/V Media Server ,

Latest release of uShare is 1.1a.

ChangeLog:

* Support for XboX 360 dashboard Fall Update (.avi and .divx now are supported)
* DLNA support is not enabled by default, as not mandatory.
* Some configure script fixes and better support for cross-compilation.
* Fixed network interface discovery on MacOSX.
* Much more complete DLNA support through external libdlna.
* Telnet Control interface.
* Support for FLAC and HDMOV files.
* FreeBSD 64bit and MacOSX build fix.
* Newly written configure script.

Compile uShare by running configure and then make. This should produce an executable ushare in the src subdirectory, which can be used right away. No extra files need to be installed.
Example :

CFLAGS="-Os" ./configure --prefix=/usr
make

If you want to enable DLNA support, run:

./configure --enable-dlna


This seems to suggest that the problem of ushare and the Sony PS3 is not a licensing problem but the DLNA should be enable during the program compile. Therefore could Yvon from Thecus consider if this could be put into the firmware for the N299 please. If this were to be true and successful, many PS3 owners will be most happy as there will be no more DLNA protocol error for the avi and mp3 which are shown as unsupported formats.
