[Solved] Wrong DLNA IP with multiple network interfaces

[SPo]

Hi,

I am using latest final Subsonic as WAR on tomcat7 with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. My Ubuntu server has one real ethernet eth0 (192.168.1.10) interface and some vnet interfaces connected with a bridge virbr0(192.168.122.1).

The Subsonic app on my Tablet and the PC Browser works well with Subsonic (using IP from eth0 *.1.10) - so there are no major flaws.... Great SW btw!


My problem concerns the UPNP Server part of Subsonic:

If i use an android UPNP Control point Software like BuppbeUPNP or UPNPlay i can browse through the music files and select my files for playing on my kodi (running on raspberyy/cubox/wetekplay). That is how it should be - everything works ok.

But if i press the play button i get an "Action Timeout" from my Control Point Software after a bunch of seconds.

I digged deeper into the logs and found a hint in the kodi logs, that the control point software tells kodi to play from the IP *.122.1 bound to virbr0 and NOT the real interface IP *.1.10. I looked into the Metadata Info in my Control Point and there i can see clearly that the Subsonic UPNP Server tells my controlpoint to get the file from the virbr0 interface - where no listening service is running (and don`t has to).

I tried to bind tomcat to the eth0 IP Address and restarted: no solution
/var/lib/tomcat7/conf/server.xml

Code: Select all

    <Connector port="8080"
               protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               address="192.168.1.10"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               URIEncoding="UTF-8"
               redirectPort="8443" />


I tried to tell the JAVA UPNP Stack to bind to the eth0 IP: no solution
I tried to tell the JAVA UPNP Stack to bind to the eth0 Interface: no solution
/etc/default/tomcat7

Code: Select all

JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Dorg.fourthline.cling.network.useAddresses=192.168.1.10 -Dorg.fourthline.cling.network.useInterfaces=eth0 [...]"

Subsonic uses always the virbr0 interface IP *.122.1 and never the eth0 *.1.10.

Help appreciated....

Kind Regards, SPo

Update:

Tomcat uses another file, if started as service - the correct file for adding the JAVA_OPTions
is a file called "setenv.sh" in "$CATALINA_BASE/bin" (same folder as catalina.sh; don`t forget chmod 755 setenv.sh).

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dorg.fourthline.cling.network.useAddresses=192.168.1.10 -Dorg.fourthline.cling.network.useInterfaces=eth0"

... but it doesn`t make any difference after restarting tomcat7...

ok... working now: made a static route in my gateway from *.122.1:8081 to *.1.10:8081

If the problem is related to the stream URL using the wrong IP address, then setting the "subsonic.host" system property should help.

In your case:

-Dsubsonic.host=192.168.1.10

solved!

just add this in the setenv.sh file and ip is correct!

Thanks!
