How to get VLC to stream out using a particular NIC

[alaw]

When there are more than one NICs on the system, how do I make VLC to stream out a UDP multicast stream through only one of the NICs ?

Thanks,
Al

I'm currently looking for the same answer.

The --miface-addr <string> didn't work for me.

I have one nic on my laptop and a WLAN card. Each time I insert the WLAN card the multicast traffic goes via WLAN. Default gateway has been checked and put towards the Ethernet nic.

Code: Select all

--iface-addr <string>

Network Interface address:
If you have several interfaces on your machine and use the multicast solution, you will probably have to indicate the IP address of your multicasting interface here.

?

I can get the interface sorted out when I launch the VLC application from the command line and specify the --iface-addr.

Now I am using the Plugin through Firefox and/or IE, but I am running into the same problem.

Is there a way to specify the --iface-addr directive to be interpretted by the plugin and passed on? If so what would it look like?

thanks
