DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

kh_naba,

I'm new to hacking the DNS-323 as I just got mine a couple of days ago so I'm just really starting to play with it. I purchased mine for the purpose of storing music, pictures, and video on it. I've update the firmware in my DNS-323 to version 1.04. I have two 750GB SATA 300 drives in it (setup as standard, individual drives) that I want to use primarily to be able to stream my MP4 video to the xbox 360. I was surprised when the xbox counld't see the DNS-323 after I set it up and threw some of my videos on it.

I'm a newbie so please bare with me. After I download the two files (fun_plug & uShare1.1a) you have in your thread just before the instructions, do I extract them both into the same folder on volume_01 of the DNS then Telenet into the that folder on the DNS?

After I run "funpkg.sh ushare-1.1a-fun-plug.tgz" and restart the DNS, will both of my volumes on the DNS be available and viewable by the xbox?

When I tried running this I got this error, "FATAL: ushare-1.1a-fun-plug.tgz: File not found or not readable.

Here's what I did:

I already had Fun_plug in my root directory on volume_1 (this allows me to telnet into the DNS-323.

I then copied "ushare-1.1a-dns-323-src.tar.gz" and "ushare-1.1a-fun-plug.tgz" into the the root directory.

I then telnet'd into the DNS-323 by typing "o 192.168.0.193"

After I was in, at the / # prompt I typed funpkg.sh ushare-1.1a-fun-plug.tgs. That is when I got the error.

Like I said, I'm a newbie at this and know even less about Linux so any help you can supply would really appreciated.

This newbie could use all the help he can get. If anyone could give me some pointers to get me going in the right direction, I would really appreciate it. This is what I've done for far:

I've downloaded 'funplug-0.4.tar.gz' from 'http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.4/' and extracted the 'fun_plug' & 'fun_plug.tar' files and placed them in the root directory on Volume_01 of the DNS-323. I then restarted the DNS (poweredit off/on.

Once I did that I was able to telnet into the DNS by opening a telnet client  (Puttytel.exe).

So far so good.

You need to in the directory where you downloaded ushare-1.1a-fun-plug.tgz. Telnet starts you from '/', which is the root of filesystem. The Volume_1 share is at /mnt/HD_a2. Change your directory to that before running 'funpkg.sh ushare-1.1a-fun-plug.tgz'.

I then created a folder on Volume_01 called 'uShare11a'. I copied "ushare-1.1a-dns-323-src.tar.gz" and "ushare-1.1a-fun-plug.tgz" into it then telnet'd into the DNS-323 again and tried to cd to the ushare11a folder but I got a message saying "/mnt/hd_a2/fun_plug.d/bin/sh: chdir: can't cd to ushare11a"

Same here. Change your directory /mnt/HD_a2, because that's where you have created the directory.

Thanks

I hope that helps. Let me know know how it goes.

Thanks.

Thanks kh_naba for your help and patience. After a few attempts (lack of Linux skills) I was able to change to the root directory /mnt/HD_a2 then to the 'uShare' folder. I then ran "funpkg.sh ushare-1.1a-fun-plug.tgz" which ran okay.

I restarted the DNS-323 and the Xbox 360 was able to see the folders on Volume_01.

I wanted both volumes to show up in uShare so I then, in Windows Vista, went into the /fun_plug.d/etc/ folder in Volume_01 and opened ushare.conf with word pad. I edited the file by changing "USHARE_DIR=/mnt/HD_a2" to "USHARE_DIR=/mnt/HD_a2, /mnt/HD-b2" but when I tried to save it I get a message that says "Access toK:\fun_plug.d\etc\ushare.conf was denied.

When I checked the properties, it was 'read' for Everyone but 'read' & 'write' for 1000 (Unix User\1000. I tried to give Everybody 'read' & 'write' but the system won't let me.

How do I get the permissions to edit and save the ushare.conf file?

Well, I haven't myself played so much with its network permission settings. You can try to see if you can fix it from its configuration interface http://your-dns-box-ip/. That said, as I mentioned in previous post, xbox 360 doesn't really see more than 1 directoy. I think it's a bug in xbox 360 code because I could see multiple directories in other upnp clients.

Let me know if your streaming works.

Thanks.

One way to export both Volume_1 and Volume_2 would be of course to set USHARE_DIR=/mnt

Hi - thought I'd give this a try to stream to my PS3

I have set it up and the PS3 "sees" the files that I'm tring to screen but they are all "Unsupported data"

Trying to trouble shoot I have tried to start ushare manually using the command below

"ushare -d -v -i -c /mnt/HD_a2/Test"

it all seams to start OK showing the uPnp and DNLA stuff starting but when it gets to indexing the MP3s in the Test folder I get an error

"mdb:225, lastbuf:0 skipping granule 0
mdb:225, lastbuf:0 skipping granule 0
Illegal instruction"

Any idea what might cause this?

Thanks

At least now I've got uShare looking at the right folder. Now I need to get it to read MP4 video files. The Xbox can read and process MP4 files from a shared folder on my Vista machine so it has to be something with uShare.

I am sure ushare developers would be aware of that, if not filing a bug report to them would be helpful. I will keep an eye on their releases to update dns builds.

Thanks.

Fantastic!! Works a treat, many thanks kh_naba, never thought I'd get streaming going......

Any news on future releases?

Cheers.

Yet another newbie;-)
I've installed funplug and the ushare addon, restarted DNS. When starting ushare I get:

   / # /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/start/ushare.sh start
   Starting ushare...
   / #

From posts above it looks like I should get some more response, or?
Anyway, without changing any default values anywhere (UPnP activated though) I can't get my xbox360 to see the DNS. What have I missed out?

This sounds interesting. Do you need an "opened" Xbox360 for this to work?

I tried to download naba's 1.1a fun_pkg, but when I tried to install it on my dns-323 (FW: 1.05, ffp: 0.05) I am getting error saying "ffp not found in package". So this one seems applicable only for ffp 0.04? How can I run it under ffp 0.05?

Thanks.
