Extracted from conntrackd.conf:

        Multicast {
                IPv4_address 225.0.0.50
                IPv4_interface 192.168.100.100 # IP of dedicated link
                                    ^^^
Did you setup an interface with this IP? Otherwise the multicast sender
won't work, i.e. your dedicated link (ethX) must use the IP 192.168.100.100.
