Bound Network Adaptor changes on reboot

I've got VMWare Player installed on the same PC that runs Serviio. VMWare Player creates 2 Virtual Network adaptors for its own use.

Each time I reboot my machine Serviio chooses a VMWare virtual adaptor to bind to. Thus making it inaccessible from my home LAN. This happens regardless of whether I select an explicit adaptor or "auto detect".

I'm aware of the "-Dserviio.boundAddr=a.b.c.d" option for the ServiioService.exe.vmoptions file, and have started to use it.

Just some thoughts on this;
This is binding to an IP address not an adaptor. As everything is on DHCP in my network there is a chance that the IP will change.
It does not match what is displayed in the console, so whilst it may work, it's not displayed anywhere helpful for future troubleshooting.

Hope it helps..!showbox speed test
