'relay' option doesn't capture UPD packets

[yvernhurenat]

I have an app sending multicast packets on 239.255.90.90. I can see the packets with tcpdump, but multicast-relay does not capture any packets...

python3 multicast-relay.py --interfaces eth0 --remote REMOTE_IP --foreground --verbose --remotePort 1990 --noSonosDiscovery --noSSDP --noMDNS --relay 239.255.90.90:APP_PORT

if I try the homebrewNetifaces instead, I get the following error:

Would also be great, if we could capture broadcast traffic on IPs like 192.168.1.255, or is there any reason against?
