Ushare is a great app for streaming to the Xbox 360 (well tested, with avi files), PS3 (not so well tested) and perhaps other UPnP clients.


Ushare has an issue: it does not refresh it's database periodically with new files or folders being added.

Adding Files

So, any time you add any files to your movies/music/pictures folders, please restart it via the servers area (under Setup -> Applications -> Servers, with advanced settings turned on), or by hand as root, with

      service amahi-ushare restart

We are considering issuing the research via a crontab every few minutes.

Adding Folders

  • Similar to files, modify the line with USHARE_UNION in:
       /var/hda/apps/ushare/ushare.conf
  • Then
      service amahi-ushare restart

Logs & Other Goodies

  • uShare logs are located at:
      /var/log/messages
  • To debug a problem, create the problem again and take a look in the /messages log file, this will show the problem at hand.
