as it can be seen on first line eth0.1 is down... but why i am using it all the time as my input (and the only one)  interface towards router

of course it is not possible to start interface which is already down

root@OpenWrt:/etc# ifup eth0.1 up
/sbin/ifdown: eval: line 1: syntax error: bad substitution
/sbin/ifup: eval: line 1: syntax error: bad substitution

the problem is present for all interfaces:

root@OpenWrt:/etc# ushare
Interface br-lan is down.

Looking for files in content directory : /mnt/sda1/share/filmy

when i am using media sharing from windows it works perfectly that is why i think the problem lays somewhere in openwrt.

I am not using any firewall of any sort.

also did try via starting the /etc/init.d/ushare start with folllowing options:

root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/config/ushare
config 'ushare'
        option 'username' 'nobody'
        option 'servername' 'OpenWrt'
        option 'interface' 'eth0.1'
        option 'options' '-x'
        option 'content_directories' '/mnt/sda1/share/filmy'
        option 'disable_telnet' '1'
        option 'disable_webif' '1'
        option 'enabled' '1'

any idea whats up ?

In your first post seems to be running on port 49200. What does "netstat -an" show.
Have you tried  the port in a web browser "192.168.0.2:49200/web/ushare.html".
Also a few more option. ENABLE_WEB=yes   ENABLE_XBOX=yes.

yes the webinterface works from pc and properly shows  the shared drives.

i have XBOX support enabled with option -x 

config 'ushare'
        option 'username' 'nobody'
        option 'servername' 'OpenWrt'
        option 'interface' 'eth0.1'
        option 'options' '-x'
        option 'content_directories' '/mnt/sda1/share/filmy'
        option 'disable_telnet' '1'
        option 'disable_webif' '0'
        option 'enabled' '1'

or i miss somethings ?

i have found on page http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Us … dia_server

as a prerequisite there is: "UPnP Service" enable under router web interface

what the hell it is ?

Do not know what is going on with your setup but mine shows Xbox starting.
Maybe DLNA mode is on. Try to use config file with the -f instead.
I think you only need libupnp to run.

Go into the webinterface -->administration -->system-->software and install and enable "luci-app-upnp"

The discussion might have continued from here.
