Maybe it's because xine-engine, but xfmedia doesn't support ipv6 streams Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. xfmedia "http://[2001:708:510:606:2e0:29ff:fe62:dd6c]:8005/radiofreeoamk.ogg 2. 3. Actual Results: http: unable to resolve '[2001' Expected Results: hear radio stream (if on air, http://radio.oamk.fi)
I have no experience with IPv6. Please try with another xine-lib-based player to see if it is supported (my guess would be no).
When compiled xine-lib with --enable-ipv6 (wasn't on default) xfmedia could play stream if given dns. name, but not in ip style like "http://[2001:708:510:606: 2e0:29ff:fe62:dd6c]:8005/radiofreeoamk.ogg", There's a patch in xine for ipv6 support in http://www.socialized.net/patches/xine/, So I think that there should be only little change in address parsin in xfmedia to support ipv6-address (if xine-lib supports it)
That patch is included in xine-lib 1.0rc1 or something, and xine-ui supports ip6-addresses (forgot to mention )
Does xine-ui support http://[ipv6-addr]/ type addresses? Xfmedia doesn't do any address parsing at all (unless xine_open() fails), so I don't see how this is my bug.
Seems that this is more xine-bug afterall.sorry to bother.
