Multiple nics cause issues with sACN multicast.

Open vantreeseba opened this issue 8 months ago • 2 comments

Environment

  • OS: Windows 10
  • Version 1.9.4

Describe the bug When multiple network interfaces exist, sACN multicast is sometimes not sent to the correct one.

To Reproduce Enable multicast for sACN and have more than one network interface. For me personally, having virtualbox installed causes additional network interfaces to exist.

Expected behavior Either sending to all network interfaces, or allow users to pick one.

This issue has been brought up multiple times in the forum as well. The workaround there have been to set your network priorities on the system appropriately so that the highest one is what you are using for sACN. Some of the native network modules have had the ability for a couple months now to select a network interface (UDP, TCP client/server). It would be great if that functionality was ported to the other native modules, especially those using multicast like DMX and PosiStageNet.

Well, if I have time to test building this, I may attempt to add that.

Also just wanted to have an actual issue/log of this since it took me a little while to sort out why it was not working (hopefully this helps anyone else with same issue).
