Solved: Need help with IGMP using specific interface

Hello,
I'm trying to use VLC to view multicast streams. I see the IGMP join going out one of my Interfaces, but not the other. The interface that it's going out is not the interface connected to the mcast enabled network. VLC doesn't seem to ever try the other interface. Is there anyway to set which interface to use IGMP for? There is a route in the route table for the OS to use both interfaces for mcast.

When I turn off the non-multicast interface, it does work correctly.

Thanks,
Brian

VLM has
--miface=<string> Multicast output interface
Default multicast interface. This overrides the routing table.
--miface-addr=<string> IPv4 multicast output interface address
IPv4 adress for the default multicast interface. This overrides the
routing table.

but I am not sure if they work correctly under Windows.

I was able to change the interface metrics in windows to get the behavior I wanted. Thanks.
