How to configure IP address for FTA (Nova's nFusion) PVR IP recording...

it sounds like the potential issue may be using your TC as a IP hard drive (TC as opposed to a simple LACiE network drive).

and again, i'm not claiming to know how to solve the issue, just trying to see if i can help you troubleshoot a bit.

_i found this post on a user forum for your product:_

Re: nfusion nova pvr??
For PVR with the Nfusion you need to install a software on your computer and this will create a PVR Server on your computer harddisk , so you can record directly from your STB on your computer harddisk.

Here is the software you need:
Nfusion IPPVR Beta version 3.0b

To get IPPVR 3.0b to work with XP check also this sticky from arboristman:
http://www.abadss.com/forum/830-nfus...b-work-xp.html

In this sticky, I think in the example given by arboristman the PVR Server IP Adress 192.168.001.103 has to be the same as the Computers IP 198.168.1.103 not 192.168....etc

just shooting in the breeze here as i don't know the answer right off, but i can help you troubleshoot a bit.

*a few different things come to mind but which IP have you tried?*
IP Address
Router Address
assigning a static ip to a computer on your network, and trying it that way to see if it's a TC limitation?

just ideas.

I've been trying the IP address which shows up on the welcome screen of AirPort Utility but that could be very much TC's Router Address cause it's showing up in AirPort Utility?
How can I acquire IP address for TC's language 1TB Hard Drive? It can't be this difficult!

well, as i'm digging deeper, finding the ip address isn't the issue, it's getting your software to record to it, maybe a permissions issue?

is this open source? can i check it out and see if i can help you this way? if i can get my hands on it i'm pretty sure i'd be more help. if the software just needs an ip address, you got it... so there's another issue. it's in your internal network right? so internal ip's should be fine, no need to port forward...

just brainstorming out loud.

Good suggestion but how do you assign a static IP to a Mac Mini which is on the same network (both wiredly and wirelessly connected to TC)?

open network prefs, select your ethernet connection, configure: using dhcp with manual address, enter ip address (even if it's the same as your DHCP address, this simply assigns it permantly), click apply.

if you wanted to do this over the wireless network you'd choose the airport from the left, advanced, tcp/ip tab, configure IPv4: using dhcp with manual address, enter ip address (even if it's the same as your DHCP address, this simply assigns it permantly), configure IPv6: automatically, click apply.

the ethernet connection would have a different IP than your wireless connection to give you the option to switch back and forth while maintaining assigned connectivity elsewhere in your network (ie. pvr ip recording).

i'm just curious what permissions the pvr ip recorder would have, and where exactly it would record to... (as in which folder... as what user?)
