GNOME Bugzilla ticket #402477 points out that Rhythmbox does not support DAAP over IPv6. In fact, libdmapsharing does not quite work with IPv6 yet. I would like to fix this.
The largest change requires that Rhythmbox listen on an IPv6 address. There is a patch at the bug referenced above that implements the following logic: 1. Try to listen on IPv6 2. If that fails, try to listen on IPv4 So, IPv6 will be used if available and IPv4 will only be used if IPv6 fails. I don't think I like this technique. What should Rhythmbox do? Should there be a "use IPv6" checkbox in the DAAP plugin configuration? I hope that we can come to a consensus on how this should work. If we do, I will extend libdmapsharing and modify the Rhythmbox plugin as necessary. -- Mike :wq _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
