Then i tried to use it, no response at all, no error message, NOTHING. tried running it from the terminal but that won't work cause no file was selected. sucks ass, gonna try avidemux now, pfff. Think microsoft sucks ass, but the installing of applications on windows is much and much better then on linux, most apps on linux require you to do 10 steps, while in microsoft it's just dubble click a .exe, wish it was that easy on linux, gonna stop complaining now, thanks for the post, hope avidemux will work and everything after that won't require me to do 10 more steps Why does linux have to be so difficult, even the nautilus script don’t work for me, tried everything to get it to show up in my right click on file, suddely, when i lost hope it showed up, after doing nothing? i tought great.

I followed 6 different HowTo's that were all supposed to work. Ushare works great for me, becouse I just need support for my video files. 1.1a version just isn't in repos yet.. I think..

Nothing else on the port acc'd to netstat. As far as I can tell, no other upnp is running at the moment. Any upnp client for the ubuntu box that you'd reco' just to see if it can see itself? WMP does see the upnp box, however it can't find any files, which might be the same issue, might not. The conf file is pointing to the right directory. Is there a way in the .conf file to force the -x command line? No firewall.

Thanks. Im just trying to stream .avi files so i can stop converting everything to .mov. It is time consuming and defeats the purpose.

Or /usr/local/bin. If you go to the source folder and type cat config.log, you should see something like "install prefix /usr/local", so for me its /usr/local/bin/ushare. Rebooting might solve that problem, so you won't have to put the full path. Ushare might be in /usr/bin, instead of bin. Or /usr/local/bin.

Also it appears as though there's a new version of ushare. My linux computer isn't running ubuntu anymore, so I get provide the a package of the new version, but if it does compile on os x successfully, then I will be able to provide a compiled binary for os x. They provide ubuntu packages, for ubuntu 7.10 on http://ushare.geexbox.org/#Download. Thanks for the info about the update. Also it appears as though there’s a new version of ushare.

I just want to say that I spent the last hour trying to figure out why my xbox could see the share but no videos, so I thought of renaming the videos from .avi to .mov and now everything runs perfectly.
