Windows version (nfpvrwin)

This is the version most of you Windows users will probably be using. Simply download the latest nfpvrwin package. It's as simple as this:

Console based version (nfpvr)

The console based version runs on Windows, Linux and MacOS. You can either download a pre-compiled binary or compile it yourself.

Using the pre-compiled binaries (only Windows for now)

This version if for the pro-users who want more control over the server. Download the latest nfpvr binary package (only Windows binaries are provided for now). Extract and run nfpvr.

nfpvr 0.0.5, run "nfpvr --help" for help
Bound to UDP port 50000, waiting for data
Your local IP is 192.168.0.10

That's it; set the right PVR IP in the nFusion's Internet settings and you're good to go.

Compiling it yourself (Linux and MacOS)

To get it up and running, you need to download & extract the latest source code archive nfpvrsrc and type make where you extracted the archive.

If you're lucky, what should happen next is something like this:

make -C nfpvr
make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/Code/nfpvr/nfpvr'
make -C ../nfpvrlib
make[2]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/Code/nfpvr/nfpvrlib'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/Code/nfpvr/nfpvrlib'
g++ -c ProgramOptions.cpp -Wall -I../nfpvrlib
g++ -c nfpvr.cpp -Wall -I../nfpvrlib
g++ -o nfpvr ProgramOptions.o nfpvr.o -L../nfpvrlib -lnfpvr
make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/Code/nfpvr/nfpvr'

You can now run nfpvr/nfpvr to start the server.

XBMC based version (nfpvrxbox)

You can also use your awesome Xbox-based XBMC media center as a storage device for your nFusion box; your Xbox and nFusion are already connected to your home network, so why not have them talk to each other?

Here's how it works:

1. download & install T3CH XBMC 2008-02-24 SVN rev11787 off T3CH's website
2. replace the default.xbe with my custom-built version in nfpvrxbox

Now as simply as before, set the Xbox's IP on your nFusion in the PVR setting and hit record; no need for leaving a PC turned on anymore.
