uShare - Directory Recursion and Symbolic Links
 

Hi all,

I have uShare 1.1a setup to talk to my XBox 360. If I share a directory that has no subdirectories, the video files display on the XBox. However, most of my files are in sub-directories on a different partition - I don't really want to copy them to the share, but uShare doesn't seem to recognise any sub-directories or files contained therein.

I have tried setting up symbolic soft links directly to the video files (although this is a pain, it is better than moving the files)...

...but these don't show up on the XBox either.

How can I get uShare to "drill down" the directory structure to list the files or how can I get uShare to follow symbolic links?

I suppose I could get round this by sharing the directories, but again, this doesn't display what I'd expect. For example, I would have thought the following would display all AVI files in the /home/share directory, but it actually shows the last directory in the tree. Huh?

If I do an "ls" after this, I get the Season-1 directory and not a list of the files contained therein. Help?

Fixed - this works if you invoke ushare from the command line, but not the /rc.d/init.d/ushare start (for some reason).

i have the same experience - why is it different when you call it from command line?
