  • Simple and easy to use. No hassle with anything. Looks good for what I want except for one thing. I have two computers, both running Windows XP and oShare. oShare only shows up on my OPPO BDP-103 Blu-ray player from one of the two. All the necessary configuration for it to work is identical on both machines but oShare remains invisible on one of them. I seldom find anything this simple that works, does what it says it does and I love what it shows me... ...when it's not blocked by something I can't find -- and I know networking, internet security, routers, etc., all from long experience. Some media file sharing details along with the product could go a long way toward troubleshooting.

  • Thank you! I struggled after building our low power MAID system (Massive Array of Idle Disks) as everything out there was bloated and insisted upon touching our data drives. Just when I was about to throw in the towel - we found oShare. Works great with our WD TV media players and our low power Thinkpad server. Perfect! Now if only I can find a way to force this Win 7 machine to recognize mkv files as "Play to" compatible - all aspects will finally work :(
  • oShare is a great minimalistic dlna server that works very nicely. It supports the expected normal seeking, is very responsive, and does not rely on saving database files. It does not support thumbnails, nor does it do any transcoding, if that's important. One problem I've found is for some reason photo support does not work on my WD TV Live device. Note the download includes a lot of junk files (lib, pdb, etc.) you can delete.
  • All the darn UPNP/DLNA servers out there are too feature rich. I add my picture folder and they all choke due to the 30,000 + files. I don't want thumbnails... I just want access to the files. This is PERFECT for my two DLNA devices that don't support thumbnails anyway. I use it for my Pix-Star DLNA enabled Digital Frame. Works GREAT! I use it for my Yamaha Receiver to have access to all my MP3's! In this case KISS is perfect! Keep it Stupid Simple! I thank the programmer for making this software available to all.. Much appreciated. I was using Ushare for Linux, but wanted to consolidate a bit. Was looking for a Ushare alternative and i found it!
  • BEWARE!!! When this program is running in my LAN, my smart TV (SONY Bravia) hangs and doesn't turn on correctly anymore! I had to unplug the power cable and stop the program to fix the problem and get my TV working again! No comment...
