[Solved] uShare and XBox360 on Hardy

[Brian McKee]

There's a bunch of bugs in the packaged version in Hardy (and likely
other releases)

Nastiest is the one where the -x version works when called directly,
but isn't parsed in the config file... and without it, the XBox
doesn't see uShare.

Since upstream has almost abandoned it, and the bugs weren't caught
before release, the version is, ummm, not very useful :-)

Save yourself grief.

Download the patched version from

Read his blog entry re the fixes - http://netou.co.uk/?p=28
sudo aptitude install libupnp2 libupnp-dev pkg-config
tar xvjf ushare-11a-netou.tar.bz2
cd ushare-1.1a-NeToU/
./configure --prefix=/ --bindir=/usr/bin --mandir=/usr/share/man
make
sudo make install stripdir
sudo vi /etc/ushare.conf
sudo service ushare start

Tada!

Large music libraries are pretty much unusable still (no album info
etc comes across) but it actually works!
