[mythtv-users] Looking for people to test IPv6 Patch

[Greg Estabrooks]

  A few others on this list have expressed an interest in an IPv6 
capable Mythtv so I'm looking for others to test a patch for it.

I've been using this patch since XMas with no problems.

Use of this patch assumes you have IPv6 setup internally already between 
your machines. There is plenty of simple instructions on how to do that 
out there for those looking to try it :)

Once you've patched your system and install the new binaries you can try 
it by simply changing the IP information in mythtv-setup on the general 
page.  Filling in the IPv6 address of the master as well as of the frontend.

Then restarting mythbackend and mythfrontend should bring them up and 
talking to each other.

Now in my case I am running dual stack (IPv4 and IPv6 on each host) and 
my MySQL communication is via IPv4.

As far as I can tell everything works except for UPNP sharing. but there 
could very well be other things that don't work with I just don't use :)
I've also only patch the PHP bindings to ensure mythweb will work but 
have no looked at the perl or python ones. (Patches welcome ;) )

The patch can be found here : http://phaze.org/mythtv/myth-ipv6-17.diff

Please report back any success and or problems you run into.

Thanks!
