uShare
January 6th, 2008
The Xbox 360 now plays Divx files. Yay! The 360 is also a DLNA compatible device, letting me feed networked media to the 360 from a DLNA server. Double yay! uShare is a Linux DLNA server that works with the 360. Triple yay, and cookies for everyone!
Unfortunately, I’m having a devil of a time installing uShare from source on my ARM based home server. My current working theory is that I accidentally grabbed a historical fork of the libupnp directory, something much older than the 1.4.2 release I need. Of course, I’ve had twelve working theories in the past half hour. We’ll see if this one sticks.
No Herb, I don’t know why I always choose the way of pain.
[UPDATE - 2:04 AM] It works. The 360 doesn’t support all formats, but it handles a good subset. Yee-haw.
