Title: Exclude adapters from access-key (Solved - Ignore List and Lookup verified)
Post by: eezetee on May 02, 2020, 12:20:08 am

Is there a way to exclude IP addresses from the dynamic access-key registration?

Reason being is that my system has Virtualbox, Vmware ESXI and some other tools which require IP stacks.  So the system has 7 IP's on it.   Upon registration, these IP's get passed up to the JRiver access-key service and when i'm out of the house, it takes a long time to attempt to resolve the WAN address as it has to cycle through all the LAN IP's first.

Can I be selective which I want to include?

Tried this but no idea how it works

192.168.184.0/24 is one of the adapters I want to exclude

Well for a start your image shows you only put "192.168.184" into that setting. You need to put in the full network definition, 192.168.184.0/24. See image.

I don't know if you are aware, but you can check what IP Addresses the Access Key has stored using the URL: http://webplay.jriver.com/libraryserver/lookup?id={Access Key}
Where {Access Key} is your Access Key, no brackets.


If that doesn't work you can try adding a string value to the registry (Without MC running):

HKCU->Software->J River->Media Center 25->DLNA
called
Bind Only To
Set the string value to
1.2.3.4
where 1.2.3.4 is replaced with your main ethernet interface IP address.

When you startup MC now you should only see that one interface in the Media Network Status window.

That key is a bit experimental still I believe, but it did work for me.

Thank you RoderickGI,

The ignore with comma seperate values worked perfectly as verified by the checking of the access-key.

I added in "192.168.184.0/24,192.168.222.0/24,...." all my networks.  Restarted JRiver and the updates to the access-key at the lookup URL worked perfectly.

Now when I'm remotely connecting, it only tries the 1 LAN IP and my current WAN IP.

Thanks much!

You're welcome.

Thanks for confirming what you did and that it worked. It's always good to know settings work for other people the way I expect them to.  :D
