uShare configuration

There are several implementations of the UPnP protocol. The uShare server is one of the best candidates for use with a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 for sharing music or video.

opkg install ushare

There is only one section ushare defined for the configuration in /etc/config/ushare.
