0003437: Multiseat breaks if an additional IP for ipv4 has been added serverside (1 Viewer)

[MediaPortal-Bot]

TvServer/heartbeat is unable to handle additional IPs for ipv4 of IPv4.<br /> <br /> Usecase:<br /> - [Server] 1 NIC - local network + VPN<br /> - [Server]Main IP: i.e. 192.168.10.10<br /> - [Server]Alternate Configuration IP: 10.0.0.10<br /> - [Server]Streaming IP: 192.168.10.10<br /> - [Client] TV-Server connection configured on all clients as: 192.168.10.10 - not hostname<br /> <br /> As soon as you entered 10.0.0.10 as additional IPv4 IP serverside, then on all clients you will encounter a "Lost connection to TV_Server" when you try to tune a channel (might require a reboot of the client first).<br /> <br /> How to work around this issue clientside:<br /> - give the client 10.0.0.11 as additional IPv4 adress<br /> - or add "10.0.0.10 Servername" in the hosts file<br /> <br /> <br /> I think that this issue has to do with heartbeat failing badly. As if TVServer would start to accept communication only on the 10.0.0.10 adress. And since clients are not configured for that adress, heartbeat fails.
