I’ve been playing with media streaming, i did have my wife’s laptop doing it as it’s vista and the xbox360 loves vista for streaming movies and divx etc. However i didn’t like it, i didn’t want to keep the laptop on all the time and couldn’t afford to purchase a media center pc. Luckily i had a spare machine now i’ve moved my websites to a linode. And as it’s running linux, which will keep me happy

Enter ushare.

Basically installed it, copied some media files to /tmp and ran ushare -x [this makes it use a xbox 360 compatible profile], i think i tweaked the config file a bit as well but not much.

Et Viola…i can see the server on the xbox and play divx/xvid tron, the last starfighter here we come
