From Thecus Wiki

Facts
Name: USHARE (GeeXboX uShare)
Maintainer(s): Andreas Vogel (omega)
Target: N5200
Latest version: 2.00.01
Depends on module(s): none
Description
General Overview and Installation
This module comes as a ZIP compressed file with the name N5200_<modname>_<version>.zip, where <modname> is the module name and <version> is the version number of the module. While unpacking the ZIP file, a new directory N5200_<modname>_<version> containing the module and its source code is created.
The module file is called <modname>.mod and the source code is located in the directory <modname>. The source code is included for interested people and is not needed for module installation. The file Makefile can be used to rebuild the module on Linux systems.
The module is installed using the "System"->"Module Mgmt" menu in the Thecus Web Server Administration. Specify the file <modname>.mod as the module file and press "Install".
The whole installation process is logged and sent as an E-Mail if you're configured in the E-Mail notification configuration. After successful installation enable the module in order to run the module.
After uninstallation of the module, a log of the uninstall process will be send to the user(s) configured in the E-mail notification configuration. Prior uninstallation of the module, the actual configuration data is backed up to the place "/data/raid/module/backup/<modname>". When the module is installed again, the module configuration is restored from that place if available.
Module version 2.00.00
GeeXboX uShare is a free UPnP and DLNA A/V Media Server which works with a large range of hardware and software based client devices (XBox 360, Sony Playstation 3, Nokia N800 Media Streamer, ...). Here is a description from the GeeXboX uShare homepage:
uShare is a UPnP (TM) A/V & DLNA Media Server. It implements the server component that provides UPnP media devices with information on available multimedia files. uShare uses the built-in http server of libupnp to stream the files to clients. GeeXboX uShare is able to provide access to both images, videos, music or playlists files (see below for a complete file format support list). It does not act as an UPnP Media Adaptor and thus, can't transcode streams to fit the client requirements.
WARNING: version 2.00.00 of this module has a small but critical error and therefore mustn't be used at all. If someone already has installed this version just log into the N5200 via SSH and rename the file /raid/data/module/USHARE/Shell/module.rc to something else.
