GeeXboX uShare module for Thecus N2100

October 24th, 2006 by ktula

Someone is kind enough to send me a module he created out of GeeXboX uShare, a free UPnP A/V media server compiled by tyz.

According to the GeeXbox uShare site, the uShare UPnP A/V media server should work with Xbox 360. I have a Xbox 360 but i cannot see any of the songs i have in my N2100, so i am not sure how well this module works. But i do see the “ushare” processes running in shell after enabling and configuring the module. The screenshot of the configuration screen for the menu is shown below:

I believe the Port setting is supposed to set the port number for the HTTP server for uShare. The default one is 4920 but no matter what i change it to, running a port scanner from another server always indicate that uShare is listening to the following two ports (marked in blue):

PORT      STATE SERVICE
22/tcp    open  ssh
139/tcp   open  netbios-ssn
443/tcp   open  https
445/tcp   open  microsoft-ds
548/tcp   open  afpovertcp
631/tcp   open  ipp
3689/tcp  open  rendezvous
49152/tcp open  unknown
49153/tcp open  unknown

So that portion of the module might not be working.

Download the module here (get either the gzip or zip version):
ushare.mod.gz
ushare.mod.zip

Update: 10/27/2006
The module has been updated so that the default Port in the configuration screen is now 49200 instead of 4920.

Hi Ktula!

Thank you for a lot of great articles on the Thecus N2100!

I am am true newbie when it comes to the N2100 and NAS-devices, and this is a comment meant for other newbies wondering how to actually use the modules you find on the net for the N2100 (f.ex. the ushare uPnP AV server). There is no info to be found about this on the net - probably because it is so easy:

1. Download the module, and unpack it (you should end up with a .mod-file)
2. Login to your N2100
3. In the System menu, choose Module Mgmt. (FW 2.1.01)
4. Use the Browse button on the Module menu to locate your file. Click on Install.
5. After a while (waiting for the file to upload) you should get the module listed as installed. Tick off the small box to the left of the module name, and click the Enable/Disable button to enable the it. The enable status should change from No to Yes.
6. Click on the module name for module settings.
7: ushare module: Write the name you would like for your N2100 uPnP AV server, or accept the default. Choose the folder of your media files, or accept the default iTunes folder. Click on Submit.

Done!

The ushare module was up and running on my N2100 in two minutes, and the N2100 was instantly recognized by my Noxon 2 player as a uPnP media source.

Does anyone know if this module works for streaming video and viewing images from a YES box on a TV with a wireless AV server connected? I’m thinking of getting a YES box and an AV streamer to connect to my wireless router but am not into mp3 and would use it for my photo/video collection.
