First, I assume that you mean “IP address”, rather than “port”. (But if you
really meant “port”, then you could specify this by including it in the
“rtsp://“ URL.)
By default, the server uses the network interface that’s used for IP multicast
routing - i.e., the one that has a route for 224.0.0.0/4. (The reason for this
is that it uses IP multicast to detect its own IP address.)
So, the easiest way to choose a particular network interface is to reconfigure
your host so that it uses that network interface for IP multicast routing. You
should be able to do this by running (as root):
route add 224.0.0.0/4 ip-address-for-that-nic
Alternatively, you could try adding - as the first statements in your “main()”
routine, the following:
SendingInterfaceAddr = ReceivingInterfaceAddr =
our_inet_addr(“x.y.z.w”);
where “x.y.z.w” is the IP address of the interface that you want.
