#10921 closed Bug Report - General (fixed)

FE/BE connection doesn't work using Link Local IPv6 addresses

Reported by: Jan Schneider <jan@…> Owned by: Raymond Wagner
Priority: minor Milestone: 0.27.2

Severity: medium Keywords:
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description (last modified by Raymond Wagner)

When MythTV is told to use one specific link-local address using the IP settings in mythtv-setup, the client code for internal communications does not properly handle the scope ID, so no connection can be established.

Summary: FE/BE connection doesn't work via IPv6 → FE/BE connection doesn't work using Link Local IPv6 addresses

I'd rather keep the two issues separate, and leave the other closed.

Why? It's exactly the problem of #10909, which has more info

comment:5 by Raymond Wagner, 13 years ago

#10909 has a bunch of info on trying to have MythTV listen on "fe80::21f:1fff:fe23:a434/64", with the result that half of MythTV correctly identifies it as an invalid IP address and reverts to IPv4 operation, while the other half blindly tries (and fails) to resolve the string through the system's DNS configuration. That's an invalid bug, and at most merits a sanity check on the inputs in mythtv-setup. Being unable to use "fe80::21f:1fff:fe23:a434" either is a separate issue.
