Well no, not sharing them with you. But I've been trying to figure out how to share the movies on my computer with my XBox, since I'm sick and tired of plugging my computer in to the TV when I want to watch one of them, then unplugging it when I'm ready to use my computer again.
Those of you who pledge to promote Microsoft products would probably suggest using Windows Media Center. But since I'm taking that tone, you're wondering why I own an XBox 360 if I'm not a Windows fanboy. Well, quite frankly, the 360 is probably the one thing Microsoft has done (somewhat) right.
No, I'd much rather use this computer I have plugged in to just power and networking as my media server. On that computer, I can mount my network shares from my Windows computer (sigh), then use the power of Linux and uShare to turn that power-and-network-only computer into a media server.
Luckily, I found this article that outlines how to do it. Of course, you'll want to adapt the article for your flavor of Linux, but otherwise it does the job PERFECTLY.
