Two network cards problem

[TheBlaze]

I have two NIC installed. I use first for internet and second for multicast. In version 0.8 I could watch multicast TV with this setup. With 0.9 it doesn't work any more. If I disable the first NIC I can watch TV but internet doesn't work. If I enable first NIC I can surf the net but can't watch TV. Is there any way to make VLC listen for multicast on all network cards? Or to make it listen on specific ip? There has to be a solution!

This is not a VLC problem.

Code: Select all

route add 224.0.0.0/4 dev eth1

Thank you very much for your reply!
But I'm going to need more help.
I'm running Kubuntu 8.10 and VLC 0.9.4
eth0
192.168.0.147 DHCP (gateway 192.168.0.1)
eth1
10.0.5.5 mask 255.0.0.0 gateway 10.0.0.1 static
When I type: "sudo route add 224.0.0.0/4 dev eth1", I get: "netmask 0fffffff doesn't make sense with host route".
I'm a noob...

I managed to resolve the problem by:

Code: Select all

sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth1.force_igmp_version=2 route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev eth1 route add -net 84.255.208.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth1 route add -net 84.255.209.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth1

If it helps anyone...
