Yes. Who needs IPv6 when stuff works with ipv4?


If so, take a look at this:

'support'?
That sounds like 'required'.
But why?! What does ipv6 do that ipv4 cannot for this very application
of Mythtv?

The patch mentioned at https://lists.gt.net/mythtv/dev/608020
(essentially
https://lists.gt.net/engine?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=15833;list=mythtv
) was already in the 29 git tree for 50%, so what exactly is the stance
on ipv6 and where should I have read about that?
