I want to watch some divx movies on my XBOX360 (without HDD). They are stored on a DM800 Dreambox (with HDD).
First you need UShare v1.1a, the UPnP Daemon. I found a static compiled mipsel version here, which will run on the DM800 Dreambox. I also created a local mirror of this binary file.
There are some issues compiling a non-static version, for more information click here.
Anyway, first copy the binary file to the Dreambox and set the executable flag (chmod a+x ./ushare). Now the important step, setup a multicast route for UPnP messages:
1 | root@dm800:/tmp# route add –net 239.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 eth0 |
Now you may start the UPnp Daemon:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | root@dm800:/tmp# ./ushare –c /media/hdd/divx/ –v –x Warning: can’t parse file “/etc/ushare.conf”. uShare (version 1.1a), a lightweight UPnP A/V and DLNA Media Server.

Listening on telnet port 1337 Initializing UPnP subsystem … Starting in XboX 360 compliant profile … UPnP MediaServer listening on 192.168.111.18:49152 Sending UPnP advertisement for device … Listening for control point connections … Building Metadata List … Looking for files in content directory : /media/hdd/divx/ /media/hdd/divx/just-a-movie.avi Entry->URL (100001): 100001.avi Found 2 files and subdirectories. |
A start log of the UPnP Daemon without multicast routing:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | root@dm800:/tmp# ./ushare –c /media/hdd/divx/ –v –x –d Warning: can’t parse file “/etc/ushare.conf”. uShare (version 1.1a), a lightweight UPnP A/V and DLNA Media Server.

Hint: I had some strange errors when the divx filenames contained special chars — so I removed them. I also don’t use any subdirectories.
You may browse to http://dreambox:49152/web/ushare.html and check the webif.
Edit 24.8.08:
The newnigma team released libusb3 and ushare v1.1a on the unstable feed, grab those file, its much cleaner and easier! You just need to edit the script /etc/init.d/ushare and add the option “-x” to the ARGS variable (to enable XBOX360 support).
