Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

I get the same 500 error from uShare on ffp0.4. It's not necessary for me, so I've turned it off in the config which will hopefully save some memory.

I didn't realise until my compiled version that there was this ability so never tested it on ffp 0.4.
I do find my trigger recycle script seems to do the job though.
I will get round to the triggers script soon but am just tidying up a small silly bugs in the transmission & Clutch util script at the moment.

BikNorton, how did you turn off the web feature? Did you just edit the ushare.conf or is there another step?
RimBlock, I'm having an issue where I have removed all but one MP3 file from my shared music folder. However on my Xbox it will show the sole remaining MP3 file at the top, but also some entries after it listed as F0000001, F0000002, etc. I think that it's still showing what was indexed previously when I had more files in the folder. Is there any way to look at the index on the DNS323, or perhaps delete it and refresh it? Or is the index stored on the Xbox's hard drive?
I also seem to be having trouble playing MP3s. The audio cuts out around 25-35 seconds or so into the song. It might or might not be a network issue. I don't have any problems playing a 400MB, 40-minute DivX TV capture, so I thought that it was strange.
If I wanted to start from scratch again, how would I remove uShare and your recycle script? Just delete the files from the folders they are installed to or is there another procedure? Given the problems I've been having I want to start with a clean slate.

If oyu run /ffp/bin/ushare --help it will give you the command line options.
You can add the option to disable the web server to the /ffp/start/ushare.sh file.
To uninstall just remove the /ffp/bin/ushare, /ffp/etc/ushare.conf and /ffp/start/ushare.sh files. Might as well leave the libraries.
you could try;
cd /ffp/start
./ushare.sh restart
Wait for the lights on the front of the NAS to finish flashing as it recatalogues
restart the XBox 360
Reconnect with XBox and see if it solves the issue of old mp3's being shown. You could also try a NAS reboot.
Again the bad playback sounds like bandwidth issues. Could be interference if you are using WiFi, other people using or other apps like torrent clients etc. Quite hard to diagnose without a straight XBox 360 to NAS connection to see if those problems go away.

Is there a limit on how high the ushare port can be? I set it to 52222 but when I visit http://my_nas_ip:52222/ I get a "500 Invalid Server Error" or something like that.
I'm sure you already discovered the solution by yourself... anyway, the right URL is:
http://my_nas_ip:port/web/ushare.html
(as found here).
Now... I want to say a BIG "Thank you!" to all people who worked to make uShare run on the DNS_323. I bought one of these units just to serve my DSM-320RD (...I was confident that a D-link NAS would work with a D-link media player...), but the out-of-the-box uPnP-AV server didn't work (.AVI files were crappy).
uShare IS the solution
Thank you again!
Regards

For what it is worth I used this quide to setup uShare on both the DNS-323 v1.06 and the DNS-321 v1.01. Works perfectly on both.
The out-of-the-box uPnP-AV server on the DNS-321 worked with my Xbox but I prefer uShare.
Thanks RimBlocker!

I am trying to build ushare to run under fun_plug 0.5 on the DNS-323 - when I run it, the performance is awful - it takes several seconds to add each media file (.jpgs).
When I run the .tgz packaged version, it runs fine.
It is mentioned that you can build ushare without dlna support, but I am not clear as to how that is done. There doesn't seem to be a --disable-dlna configure option.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Thanks RimBlock for yor effort to make this little wish possible for everyone with an Xbox and a NAS.
It is suprising how many effort to make such an "unimportant" thing to work fine
Well, my install is:
CH3MNAS + ffp 0.5 + FW 1.02b02
ushare working like a Rocket in my Xbox360
NAS and Xbox wired through PLC (Devolo 85 Mb/s)
The problem: when watching a movie, if it happens that the ushare-refresh triggers the restart of ushare, the Xbox loses connection to the server, and have to wait
for ushare to reindex everything before I can continue watching the movie. Also, it seems that the new indexing makes the Xbox lose the point I was watching the
movie, which is annoying, but not important at the moment.
I dont know if its a ushare or Xbox issue.
Does anyone had the same problem?
Is there a way to stop the ushare-refresh to restart ushare while it is streaming something?
By the way, ps -A gives 6 or 7 instances of ushare running at the same time, I dont know if it's normal, but movies runs just fine.
Thanks again

Hi all,
Glad people are still finding a use for UShare although I have since stopped using it as it cannot transcode my HD stuff.
I now just use shares and get my media players to play the file (WD HD Live TV).
It also looks like the uShare source code has not been updated since 2007.
