Old description:

> As a follow-up to ticket #10909, on a combined FE/BE that has been
> configured to use IPv6, the FE doesn't get a connection to the BE, and
> RAOP binding doesn't work either, unless I add the bitmask suffix to the
> IPv6 address.

> frontend.log is from using fe80::21f:1fff:fe23:a434 in the settings,
> frontend2.log from using fe80::21f:1fff:fe23:a434%ra0 as suggested by jya
> in ticket #10909.

New description:

 When MythTV is told to use one specific link-local address using the IP
 settings in mythtv-setup, the client code for internal communications does
 not properly handle the scope ID, so no connection can be established.

Comment:

 I'd rather keep the two issues separate, and leave the other closed.
