Re: multicast join problems (source specific)

Try connecting to multicast like so (Mc is multicast IP, Src is local IP):

{ok, SockSrc} = gen_udp:open(Port, [{reuseaddr,true},
{ip, {0,0,0,0}}, {add_membership, {Mc, Src}},{active,true}, binary,{recbuf,
1024*1024}]);

Or maybe

{ok, SockSrc} = gen_udp:open(Port, [{reuseaddr,true},
{ip, Src}, {multicast_ttl, 1}, {multicast_loop, false}, binary]),
inet:setopts(SockSrc, [{add_membership, {Mc, Src}}]);
