UPnP with ushare to an xbox 360 arcade

After installation we need to configure ushare to meet our network settings. This can be done using the ushare configuration assistant

sudo dpkg-reconfigure ushare

We can also set configuration options in /etc/ushare.conf. For streaming to an XBox 360 make sure this file contains the following lines:

USHARE_ENABLE_XBOX=yes # for Xbox360 support
USHARE_ENABLE_DLNA=no # only needed for Playstation 3

The ushare service can then be started or stopped with

sudo service ushare start # stop for terminating

or by running ushare from the command line

ushare -D --name=<name_of_my_stream> --content=<path_to_mediafiles>

For further options see also the project home page at geekbox.
There is also a GUI to set up shared directories and start the stream (stream2ip).
If configured you can also use the ushare webinterface for configuring stream directories: http://localhost:49200/web/ushare.html
