[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] Fix IPv6 Support for TCP Streams

[Erik Auerswald]

Hi,

attached patch fixes IPv6 support for TCP streams.

It enables detection of gethostbyname2() on GNU/Linux and MPlayer 
correctly resolves IPv6 addresses when trying to connect to web stream.

I have successfully tested accessing and playing an MP3 file from a  web 
server via IPv6.

Please see this as an addition to Aaron Plattner's fallback patch. His 
patch improves the user experience if gethostbyname2() is really not 
available.

Thanks,
Erik
