Choose network interface

[riwi]

Hi,
I've just purchased assetUPNP (for linux 64 bit). I run Slackware.

Is there documentation available about which commandline options are available?
I would like to choose which network interface the AssetUPNP binds to. Currently it sees that I have 2 interfaces with an IP and Asset chooses the first one (which is down).
I would like to either choose the IP on which Asset listens or the network interface (eg. eth2). Is that possible?

Regards, Richard

Re: Choose network interface

Running:
./AssetUPnP --help
...prints the currently available commandline switches, just four of them right now.
For running on a specific IP in a multi IP environment, you want --ipaddress <ipv4 goes here>

@PeterP just out of interest, what are the other 3?
I am away, at present, and don't have remote access to my network/Pi to run './AssetUPnP --help'

Thanks,
Simon

Re: Choose network interface

Usage: ./AssetUPnP [ arguments ]

Accepted arguments:
  --help                :: Prints this message.
  --ipaddress <address> :: Specifies a local IP address to bind to.
                        :: If not specified, Asset will bind to all local IP addresses of the host.
  --shutdown            :: Signals an existing Asset instance to shut down.
  --no-config-page      :: Disables the configuration web interface.

Thank you.

I was using a 'killall AssetUPnP' to shutdown Asset before undertaking NAS maintenance & the mounts would not be available.

Thank you very much. That is just what I needed. Great

Re: Choose network interface

I managed to start it using the --ipaddress parameter :

root@riwixeon:/home/richard/asset_upnp/bin* ./AssetUPnP --ipaddress 192.168.1.11 &
[1] 24028
root@riwixeon:/home/richard/asset_upnp/bin* Asset UPnP startup...
Version: R5.1
Functionality: Premium Registered
Supported formats: .aif .aiff .aifc .flac .fla .m4a .mp4 .m4b .aac .mp3 .mp2 .m2a .mpga .mpa .mpx .mpg .mp1 .mpeg .mpc .mpp .mp+ .ogg .oga .opus .wav .bwf .w64 .wv .dff .dsf .ape
Starting Asset web interface at http://192.168.1.11:45537

Although it says here that it started the web interface on 192.168.1.11, the web interface is not reachable when I start it like this.
I did not specify the --no-config-page option.
I do notice the mediaplayers can see the AssetUPn is running OK and serving music fine on the .11

It would be nice to be able to use the web gui. I am doing something wrong here?

Re: Choose network interface

Your --ipaddress usage looks good from here.
I've been able to recreate this bug using a Slackware virtual machine; I'm looking into it.
Interestingly there's no such bug on Debian system used to build Asset, or on development Macbook; web config works fine when using --ipaddress; even if multiple interfaces connecting to physically separate networks are in use.

Re: Choose network interface

Beta version with attempted workaround for --ipaddress issues:

http://www.dbpoweramp.com/beta/Asset-R5.1.1%20beta%201-Linux-x86-trial.tar.gz

http://www.dbpoweramp.com/beta/Asset-R5.1.1%20beta%201-Linux-x64-trial.tar.gz

A bug affecting webconfig with --ipaddress in effect has been fixed. I hope this addresses your case.

I've tried the beta 64 bit and I confirm that it works. Now it starts at the desired ip and the web address is reachable
Thank you very much for the very quick resolution
