Comment on How-To:XBOX 360 Media Server in Linux by LiamM

@Jon I’m not sure about that. As far as I know the 360 itself does that actual decoding (and thus playing) of the video file anything that plays from Windows “should” play from uShare in linux. Keep in mind that I don’t have a windows install currently to test this from.

@Tony I ran into the same issue with the music files. I’ll be revisiting this in the new year when I have some time to see if I can iron out some of the nagging issues like that.

@mediaguy I don’t think uShare locks the stream in any way. How are your 360’s wired up to the Linux PC? Depending on the video you may be trying to pull too much data from the server at once. I’ll do some testing with this as well and try to find a solution for you in the new year.

@Ally Certainly in fact that’s very similar to the setup I’m using myself. This should work just as well with the 360 and computer both hooked up to the same router or switch.

Thanks for the tutorial! I have one question, however - is it possible to do this on a LAN (rather than running an Ethernet cable direct from the server to the Xbox) - meaning can I hook up both the server and the Xbox to a router and make this work that way?

Thanks again!

Works great with one little hitch…….. i have two 360’s and using this method i can only stream media to one of them at a time. If one is running its connection gets bumped when i start watching media on the other. Any ideas?

got this working but can’t share more than one directory. tried space separated and csv but no joy. even adding more via web interface didn’t help.
Also sharing music just shows a long list of songs regardless of whether you choose album, songs or genre.

any ideas on sharing more than one directory?

Thanks

Hey Eric. if you tried

sudo rmmod uvcvideo
sudo modprobe uvcvideo

with no change then it may be the version of uvcvideo on your system. Mine worked out of the box but it looks like some people need to upgrade so try this.

install svn

sudo apt-get install svn

download the latest version ov uvcvideo

svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk

move to the new folder

cd ./trunk

edit the Makefile

gedit ./Makefile

and change

INSTALL_MOD_DIR := usb/media

INSTALL_MOD_DIR := kernel/ubuntu/media/usbvideo

save your changes

compile the driver

make

then install

make install

Now reboot and walk through the steps in the article again.

Let me know if this helps or not

There is also a gui program that does roughly the same thing http://www.angryziber.com/w/Home

Hey, thanks for the instructions. I got the ushare up and running in Ubuntu and the xbox can see it, but when I try to play a .avi video on my xbox through ushare it says it can’t play that content because it is not supported. This exact video worked when streaming it from XP. So keeping in mind that I’m fairly new to linux, any ideas as to what I did wrong? Some thoughts I have are, I FTPed the file from xp to linux, could that in some way change the file? Or, do I need some sort of codecs for linux?
