Hmm…. after restarting the ushare, it says that “no shares available”, even thought the folder it is pointing to, is full of videos. I am confused.

I am unable to have my 360 see the videos in my directories. Also, when I add additional mount points, I continually get permissions errors. I double checked and all the drives have the same permissions. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I configured ushare as described, and I still get “Interface eth0 is down.” Don’t understand why this is happening.

I get to the point that I try to start ushare by
“invoke-rc.d ushare start”, and get the following response:
.: 369: 3: Too many open files
invoke-rc.d: initscript ushare, action “start” failed.
I just haven’t been able to figure out how to begin debugging it.

Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been a big fan of linux for a long time, but the only reason I don’t have it installed is because I could not (or at least thought I couldn’t) stream media to the 360.

This article will make go to a full blown linux OS on my pc.

Cheers :)
