SRTMiniServer 2.4.9 build 163

Caller dialog: You can now choose which network interface to use when connecting to the SRT signal source in Caller-mode.
This feature opens new opportunities for increasing reliability. By utilizing multiple ISPs and receiving SRT streams through different network interfaces, you can ensure uninterrupted content acquisition even in the event of failures on one of the communication channels (see here)
SDIOutAddon: in RTMP output you can now specify bitrate for a specific line (instead of general settings).

For example, you can stream on YouTube with one bitrate and on Twitch with another (see here)
