[mythtv-users] Mythbackend not binding IPv6 ULA

[Rob Jensen]

My backend seems to be refusing to bind any unique local addresses to its
network connection, which is causing issues with my frontends who are using
IPv6.  Mythbackend should see an address beginning with fdxx, but it's only
finding the global and link-local addresses.  I'm able to work around this
on a temporary basis by specifying my global/public IPv6 address in the
backend setup, however things get FUBAR'ed whenever my ISP updates my
backend's IPv6 address.  Does anyone else have similar experiences or
pointers as to where I should be looking for a fix?

ifconfig:
        inet 192.168.0.2  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.0.255
        inet6 fd0b:11c3:66b4::5ec  prefixlen 128  scopeid 0x0<global>
        inet6 fd0b:11c3:66b4:0:d739:1fd2:a162:59be  prefixlen 64  scopeid
0x0<global>
        inet6 *****  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x0<global>
        inet6 *****::5ec  prefixlen 128  scopeid 0x0<global>
        inet6 fe80::5f55:c6b4:5a60:3a1d  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        inet6 fe80::2a92:4aff:fe2e:310f  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
