MinimWatch on Linux - Listen on interface
hi

i am trying to use minimwatch on linux to access a minimserver which is on a openvpn bridged network. as far as i can see, minimwatch is only listening on the primary network interface (eth0) and not on the tap0 device of the vpn. shouldn't minimwatch listen on ALL network interfaces that it finds?

Code:
sudo netstat -nlptu |grep java
tcp        0      0 192.168.53.96:32945     0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      7079/java      
udp        0      0 192.168.53.96:38629     0.0.0.0:*                           7079/java      
udp        0      0 239.255.255.250:1900    0.0.0.0:*                           7079/java      
udp        0      0 192.168.53.96:58290     0.0.0.0:*                           7079/java      
udp        0      0 192.168.53.96:43958     0.0.0.0:*                           7079/java

This is a limitation of ohNet. An ohNet control point can only listen on a single interface. At present, the only workaround is to run two instances of MinimWatch and select the listener interface for each MinimWatch instance by setting the ohnet.subnet property in the minimwatch.config file.

Thanks a lot. i'll test it. i didn't know about the "ohnet.subnet" property.

SSDP discovery is not supported by most VPNs.

i use the tap/bridge feature of openvpn, which means that i even get all the broadcast traffic from the remote network :-)
and yes, with the ohnet.subnet setting the minimwatch sees the remote minimserver. (it would be great if i could specify an interface, e.g. tap0, instead of a subnet that changes depending on which network i connect)

This property is documented for MinimServer, but not (currently) for MinimWatch. To set this property for MinimWatch, you need to edit the minimwatch.config file and add the following line:

ohnet.subnet = x.x.x.x

It might be possible to add support for this. I'll do some investigation.
