if i have 2 ethernet connections, how do i run plexmediaserver on a specific connection? (debian)

if i have eth0 and eth1, how do i run plexmediaserver on eth1 rather than eth0?

At the moment, you can not.

PMS will ‘attach’ itself to the ‘default’ adapter for the host.

The usually works out to be the one which matches the hostname, is ‘UP’, and has a valid gateway.

Correct me if I am wrong but if you have multiple network ports on synology nas if you bind the network ports in synology networking settings then plex would only see a single network port the bound connection it wouldn’t know the difference since thats done at the nas network level not within plex.

You’re correct on that point. Synology supports multiple different types of adapter bonding. If you were to bond all the ports into one, perhaps in a LACP configuration, it would appear to the OS (services layer) as a single adapter. PMS (application layer) would see only one adapter.
