Ushare wrong interface
Hi.
I'm trying to set ushare on my laptop so I can watch movies on TV through my PS3. I've followed the wiki on that but when running it as a daemon it doesn't complay but my PS3 finds nothing. I tried to run Ushare normally and Ushare looks for eth0 interface and finds it down, even though it is up and running... Any hint?
# /etc/ushare.conf
# Configuration file for uShare
# uShare UPnP Friendly Name (default is 'uShare').
USHARE_NAME=
# Interface to listen to (default is eth0).
# Ex : USHARE_IFACE=eth1
USHARE_IFACE=eth0
# Port to listen to (default is random from IANA Dynamic Ports range)
# Ex : USHARE_PORT=49200
USHARE_PORT=
# Port to listen for Telnet connections
# Ex : USHARE_TELNET_PORT=1337
USHARE_TELNET_PORT=
# Directories to be shared (space or CSV list).
# Ex: USHARE_DIR=/dir1,/dir2
USHARE_DIR=/home/pablo/Vídeos/Películas
# Use to override what happens when iconv fails to parse a file name.
# The default uShare behaviour is to not add the entry in the media list
# This option overrides that behaviour and adds the non-iconv'ed string into
# the media list, with the assumption that the renderer will be able to
# handle it. Devices like Noxon 2 have no problem with strings being passed
# as is. (Umlauts for all!)
#
# Options are TRUE/YES/1 for override and anything else for default behaviour
USHARE_OVERRIDE_ICONV_ERR=
# Enable Web interface (yes/no)
USHARE_ENABLE_WEB=
# Enable Telnet control interface (yes/no)
USHARE_ENABLE_TELNET=
# Use XboX 360 compatibility mode (yes/no)
USHARE_ENABLE_XBOX=
# Use DLNA profile (yes/no)
# This is needed for PlayStation3 to work (among other devices)
#USHARE_ENABLE_DLNA=yes
USHARE_ENABLE_DLNA=yes $ ushare -v
Interface eth0 is down.
Recheck uShare's configuration and try again !

Re: Ushare wrong interface
I've just tried with my Xbox and although ushare _does_ tell me that eth0 is down, it still works...
I haven't set anything in ushare.conf (no USHARE_IFACE or USHARE_DIR) and ran it with "ushare -v -xc /mnt/disk/vids/" (the "x" is for "Xbox".)
I have no solution for your PS3 but it looks like the problem might not be related to the "eth0 is down" message... I'd try to serve a directory that has no "í" in its name, just in case.

Re: Ushare wrong interface
Did you add a broadcast-route to your /etc/rc.conf? If you don't, chances are your server doesn't announce its presence on the network appropriately. It's in the wiki-page I started I while ago: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Streaming_media

Re: Ushare wrong interface
Hey guys, thank you very much for your time.
I tried with a directory without "í" and with this rc.conf with the same result

# LOCALIZATION

#
# LOCALE: available languages can be listed with the 'locale -a' command
# DAEMON_LOCALE: Set the locale during daemon startup and during the boot
# process. If set to 'no', the C locale will be used.
# HARDWARECLOCK: set to "UTC" or "localtime", any other value will result
# in the hardware clock being left untouched (useful for virtualization)
# TIMEZONE: timezones are found in /usr/share/zoneinfo
# KEYMAP: keymaps are found in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps
# CONSOLEFONT: found in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts (only needed for non-US)

# USECOLOR: use ANSI color sequences in startup messages

#
# Interfaces to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES
# - prefix an entry in INTERFACES with a ! to disable it

gateway=""

Re: Ushare wrong interface
This is not correct imho:
INTERFACES=(!eth0 !wlan0)
ROUTES=(!gateway multicast)
multicast="-net 239.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 eth0"
Your eth0 is not used, but you do make a route to it?

Re: Ushare wrong interface
That multicast line is completely wrong AFAIK. It gives errors upon starting the network daemon.

Actually I just noticed, other than the multicast line being wrong, you appear to not be using the standard network daemon, so you shouldn't need the multicast line anyway.
