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.
== Adding Folders ==Now Amahi Ushare should be visible on your PS3 or Xbox 360. It will list all the media, which can be very long. * Similar I removed the pictures folder, to files, modify make the line with USHARE_UNION in:list more manageable. You can add/remove to fit your needs.
/var/hda/apps/ushare/ushare.conf
* Then
service amahi-ushare restart
== Logs & Other Goodies ==
* To debug a problem, create the problem again and take a look in the /messages log file, this will show the problem at hand.
* 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.
