Title: Is there a way to prevent MC from binding to certain interfaces
Post by: RemyJ on November 11, 2021, 01:05:00 pm

... or tell it to only bind to specific interfaces?

"Options/Media Network/Interfaces to ignore" doesn't seem to do anything and is a bit confusing.   It says interfaces but then (list of network/bits).
My issue is that I have multiple network interfaces, including docker, vpn, etc. and I don't want MC listening on them.  In fact, I don't even want it listening on any interface other than "lo" because all I use it for is MCWS.

It's not a documented option but you can add this to your
User Settings.ini
file under the [DLNA] section:
Bind Only To="127.0.0.1"
