uShare Experience

After testing uShare for some time now, I will write down quick and dirty experiences I have made:

  • uShare does not support German "umlauts" like ö,ä,ü etc., at least not in the default setting
  • I could not get uShare to start at system boot. While I made a startup script (copied from fuppes) it wouldn't work, if used in rcX.d
  • I could not figure out how to update the library. This isn't really something negative, since I just never tried find out how it is supposed to work
  • I wrote a mail to the libdlna-develeopers. It seems this project fell asleep

Because of this I will try other media-servers, hopefulls finding one which fits me perfectly. The next one is the huge xmbc project, which I hope can run without a GUI
