Can I tell vlc which network interface must it listen to?

[aln]

I have eth0 and eth1 on my computer, but the multicast stream I want to play is only present on eth1. It seems vlc listens to eth0. I've tried with bind address, in the hope it would know which interface must it listen to given the source address, but no way, Jose.

The commands I've tried are
vlc -vvvv udp:@239.255.1.1:7777
vlc -vvvv udp:172.32.2.10@239.255.1.1:7777

Any ideas?

I think that you basically need to change your routes.

Thanks, I'll try fiddling with that...

Well, it was easier than that... There is an option specifically for telling VLC on which interface must listen to multicast data:

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv --miface-addr=172.32.2.201 udp://@239.255.1.3:7777

Sometimes it's good to read the online help...
