Ethernet connections

[dcol 175]

My Emby server has 2 Ethernet connections

NIC1 is connected to the local LAN

NIC2 is connected to the secured internet

 

I want Emby Server to be able to communicate with the local network (NIC1) and do all Internet accessing to NIC2

 

NIC1 also has internet access, but is unsecured and I do not want Emby to use this with live TV.

 

So in short, I want the library access to use NIC1 and Live TV to use NIC2.

 

Is this possible?

Maybe, but not directly via Emby. It is all handled automatically by the network stack in the operating system.

Ok, thanks. I thought maybe Emby could handle that in the advanced settings, but I will do it through the OS.

For anyone else wanting to know, this was solved by changing the network card metrics.

dcol, what exactly did you change ??

 

been looking to do the same, but not with live tv, with file transfers

[dcol 175]

Go into the IPv4 properties>Advanced and untick Automatic Metrics. Enter a number. The card with the lowest number will have priority.

do i have the option to set the number ?

 

Sorry i didnt read it right.

 

TY for your quick answer.

should file transfers 50g+ at least once a day, or emby, 2-4 stremas daily, have priority ?

[dcol 175]

The only reason I set priority is because I wanted to direct internet traffic for LiveTV to a NIC that has a VPN on it.

Usually the priority is not an issue unless you have multiple NIC's that can go to the same place.
