uShare is Linux-based software that functions as a UPnP A/V Media Server. It allows users to share multimedia content over a home network with multiple devices.
Unlike GMediaServer, GeeXboX uShare doesn't extract information from audio files such as ID3 tags, but it isn't limited to audio files either. Users can access images, videos, music, or playlists files. However, it isn't an UPnP Media Adaptor, and, therefore, it can't transcode streams to match the client's requirements.
Written in C by Benjamin Zores for the GeeXboX project, uShare is primarily designed to be used as a multimedia content provider for GeeXboX. Still, it can also be utilized by any other UPnP client device. It is compatible with any modern POSIX-based system such as Linux.
GeeXboX uShare is free software, licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). Users need to have the GNU C Compiler (gcc), 2.95 or later, and the Linux SDK for UPnP Devices (libupnp), 1.2.1 or later to use GeeXboX uShare.
The latest release of GeeXboX uShare features support for the Xbox 360 dashboard Fall Update (.avi and .divx are now supported), and DLNA support isn't enabled by default since it isn't mandatory. The release also includes some configure script fixes and better cross-compilation support.
