Ushare
At first you need to be sure that you have setup a multicast route for UPnP messages. If you don't but have a default route attributed, then this later will be used. Otherwise, simply declare a new route for UPnP multicasts (for example using eth0 interface) :
route add -net 239.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 eth0
uShare runs from the console only. It supports the usual --help option which displays usage and option information.
Options:
-n, --name=NAME Set UPnP Friendly Name (default is 'uShare')
-i, --interface=IFACE Use IFACE Network Interface (default is 'eth0')
-f, --cfg=FILE Config file to be used
-p, --port=PORT Forces the HTTP server to run on PORT
-q, --telnet-port=PORT Forces the TELNET server to run on PORT
-c, --content=DIR Share the content of DIR directory (default is './')
-w, --no-web Disable the control web page (enabled
by default)
-t, --no-telnet Disable the TELNET control (enabled by default)
-o, --override-iconv-err If iconv fails parsing name, still add to media contents (hoping the renderer can handle it)
-v, --verbose Set verbose display.
-x, --xbox Use XboX 360 compliant profile
-d, --dlna Use DLNA compliant profile (PlayStation3 needs this)
-D, --daemon Run as a daemon.
-V, --version Display the version of uShare and exit
-h, --help Display this help
uShare expects at least one directory argument (-c argument), specifying where multimedia files are stored. You should probably also use the -i option to specify which interface uShare should listen on.
ushare -c /shares ushare -c /shares1 --content=/shares2
You can also perform remote control of uShare UPnP Media Server through its web interface. This let you define new content locations at runtime or update the currently shared one in case the filesystem has changed.
