Comment:
The issue with the combo boxes in 0a40fffd47c2d1f1b07eb1f0524a89b06e1270a7
is known, and is the result of StuartM not understanding the purpose of
that DefaultListen variable when adding them. However, the solution is not
to change the contents of that variable, but to add a new variable
containing the full list of available addresses.
The planned solution is to remove the single-address limitation, and
replace the combo boxes with a multi-select box, which lists all available
addresses on the system, highlighting those currently enabled for use.
This will coincide with the IP address lookup being moved from direct
database queries to protocol queries to the master backend, along with
applications registering their listen address during connection to the
backend, as well as the ability to rescan the available addresses at times
other than initial startup. Ideally, this would all be managed from the
master backend and the new web UI, rather than reworking mythtv-setup, but
it is likely that will not be ready for 0.27.
I will keep the use of IPv6 ULA addresses in mind as an analog to the
RFC1918 private network addresses when I rework this.
