uShare should work with other distros. But you’ll probably need to find packages for your distro of choice or compile it from source if none are available. From what I understand a lot of NAS devices actually have a DLNA server built in (so they may or may not be xbox 360 compatable out of the box. So a search on the NAS device youre looking at you may not even need to install uShare on it.

As long as you’re not doing any transcoding (Your videos are already n a format the Xbox understands) then you should be good.

i got an error when i was trying to open the command after installing the package. this is what the terminal said to me:
aaron@aaron-desktop:~$ mjpg_streamer -i “input_uvc.so -d /dev/video0 -f 15 -r 640×480″ -o “output_http.so -p 8080 -w ./”
MJPG Streamer Version.: 2.0
i: Using V4L2 device.: /dev/video0
i: Desired Resolution: 640 x 480
i: Frames Per Second.: 15
i: Format…………: MJPEG
ERROR opening V4L interface: No such file or directory
Init v4L2 failed !! exit fatal
i: init_VideoIn failed

also. i’d like to point out that my inital check with the command “lsmod |grep uvcvideo” read something like this:
aaron@aaron-desktop:~$ lsmod |grep uvcvideo
uvcvideo 58116 0
compat_ioctl32 2304 1 uvcvideo
videodev 29440 1 uvcvideo
v4l1_compat 15492 2 uvcvideo,videodev
v4l2_common 18304 2 uvcvideo,videodev
usbcore 146028 3 uvcvideo,ohci_hcd

note the very last line. i also tried the fix at the bottom, but it didn’t work. i’m in desperate need of a cam! need help plz!

thanks btw, you’ve gotten me further than anything else i’ve tried so far

What distro of linux are you using? I’m currently using an old PIII 600, 512MB ram with 2x 250MB IDE hard drives running windows home server to stream content to my Xbox 360. I’m having more than a few issues with windows home server so I figured I’d give linux a go as a file/media server. Any advice you have would be great.
