I need to broadcast by http on eth0 and multicast (udp) from eth1. How a can define it in vlc (linux version)? I don't see any option like this in all faq/doc/forum etc. In my linuxbox at eth0 ip 192.168.5.2 and at eth1 192.168.6.1. I need to multicast at eth1, from ip 192.168.6.1 But when i run vlc and tcpdump show to me udp packets from ip 192.168.5.2, and i don't now how change this situation. :(

Anybody home? :)

I have change my configuration of linuxbox - remove all services (httpd, ftpd, etc) to eth1, move eth0 on seitch to vlan999 (multicast vlan) and run vlc (may be by default his multicast on eth0?). But now my tcpdump show to me UDP from 192.168.5.2->239.192.10.14:1234 on ETH1. Why???? Where I can change that?
Adding "route add -net 239.192.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0" have no effect. Why I cant get http-stream on one eth and udp-stream on another eth?

Can't confirm this but I do recall that I had to run everything via eth0 or it wouldn't work. So out of habit I'm always using eth0 for the streaming and eth1 for management on those servers.

There may be a technical explanation but I don't know the details.
