Debian 9.x dual nic VM

All; I feel a bit lost I am by profession a network engineer / systems security administrator, I fashion myself a little more technical than the average joe.

With that said; I have been working on setting up a DNLA / media server from my home for a few days and I am still not seeing any DLNA services in either my PS3 or my samsung tv.

My setup is as follows:
VM running debian 9.3 with a 10Gb nic to a cisco 3560E switch. which connects to a netgear 1GB switch that feeds my media devices.
The 10Gb nic has 2 VLAN's associated with it. One on a server segment with a /26 address and the other with a media segment a /26. The server segment is the one that I route out of and has DNS and a Default gateway. I have tried a multicast route out ens224 which is my media segment.

I can hit the Webconsole from a standard PC on yet another wireless guest segment. I have also placed a 239.0.0.0/8 route out dev ens224. Yet I still can't get my PS3 to discover a DLNA player or the TV which is in the same segment as the /26 that the secondary NIC is on the VM running Serviio.

As mentioned I am a bit confused as why, I am sure it I have missed something and am sorry if this is a redundant post but I did search and 90% of people are running it on Windoze and not with multiple NIC's

Thanks in advance.

My escenario, serviio in debian stretch server, have 4 diferent vlans (mac based vlans) managed by a linux router. I want to share in 2 specific vlans.
Server conected to giga-switch, also all devices from diferent vlans (wired and wirless).
My fast solution was use 2nd nic in server with same subnet as the second vlan, and configure my switch to let pass broadcast packets from the port where 2nd nic is connected.
Is not the best scenario, but work for me. Also that way I configure all my wan traffic in 1st nic (serviio and wan) and use 2nd only for streaming.

Best regards.

The one comment that I can offer is that Serviio will only broadcast on a single network. If you have more than one NIC or virtual connection, check the Serviio console on the Status tab, down at the bottom. Make sure Serviio is connected to the NIC you desire. If it is on Auto (default setting) it might have selected the wrong network.

This is not true at all. my server has 2 nics, also serviio use AUTO detect conection setting. And the service is present in two different vlans at the same time (as I said before).

Best regards.

Then you've done something special. Serviio will only connect to a single NIC.
