Ushare has an issue: it does not refresh it's database periodically with new files or folders being added.
== Adding Files Folders == *On the hardware running Amahi, open a terminal: Applications-> System tools -> Terminal *On windows SSH to your HDA [[http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Key-based_SSH_Logins_With_Putty]]*With Linux open a teminalLog as root: '''su'''Enter your password, then type: nano /var/hda/apps/ushare/ushare.conf Now use the cursor to go to the line--> USHARE_UNION=/var/hda/files/movies:/var/hda/files/pictures:/var/hda/files/music Now you can add the folders at the end of the line, every entry has to be separated by a colon ''':'''
Ex: USHARE_UNION=/var/hda/files/movies:/var/hda/files/pictures:/var/hda/files/music:/var/hda/files/music''':/var/hda/files/torrents''' Now to save the modified ushare.conf file, hit F3 ot Ctrl+O . To exit nano, press F2 ot Ctrl+X. 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 with the terminal as root, with
service amahi-ushare restart

We are considering issuing the research via a crontab every few minutes.
Now Amahi Ushare should be visible on your PS3 or Xbox 360. It will list all the media, which can be very long.I removed the pictures folder, to make the list more manageable. You can add/remove to fit your needs. == Adding Folders Logs & Other Goodies ==
* Similar to files, modify the line with USHARE_UNION inuShare logs are located at:
* NOTE: Even if you change the USHARE_IFACE in /var/hda/apps/ushare/ushare.conf to eth(x) ushare on amahi only works with the default eth0.
The [ushare]server will show on your device but no content[movies,music].
*It has been reported that the Thompson STS585 DSL router, will not show Ushare using the Wireless. Only a wired connection will work.
