Description
<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma, 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);">This patch allows the user to configure the broadcast address used for WOL of the TV server to something other than the global 255.255.255.255, e.g. 192.168.5.255.</span><br style="margin-top: 0px; font-family: Tahoma, 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);" /><br style="font-family: Tahoma, 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);" /><span style="font-family: Tahoma, 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);">This is needed because of the Win 7 behavior of only sending global broadcasts on one interface. If you have multiple network interfaces (this happened to me after I installed Virtual Box) then the WOL broadcast may not be sent out on the interface that connects to the server.
