Initial configuration:
LG C2 tv connected to LAN with a WAN port to Internet
LGTVCompanion 3.1.5 on computer1 = Windows 10 with adapter1 = 1gb connected to LAN with a WAN port to Internet
LGTVCompanion power management and manual lgtvcli commands work perfectly.
Addition to computer1: adapter2 = 2.5gb connected with a crossover cable to computer2
Now, LGTVCompanion running on computer1 initially sees the lower routing metric of the new 2.5gb adapter and tries to contact the LG C2 but can not since adapter2 is on a crossover cable to computer2 and can not route to the tv.
After a failure, LGTVCompanion seems to try adapter1 which has a higher metric and then the service commands and lgtvcli commands work.
Is it possible to add an option in LGTVCompanion to only use a specific adapter?
E.g. a drop-down set to Auto but with specific options for each adapter installed in the system.
In this way I could select adapter1 and LGTVCompanion would always work perfectly.
Here's a slightly cleaned log of app failing then succeeding:
