Comment:

 The issue with the combo boxes in 0a40fffd47c2d1f1b07eb1f0524a89b06e1270a7
 is known, and is the result of StuartM not understanding the purpose of
 that DefaultListen variable when adding them. However, the solution is not
 to change the contents of that variable, but to add a new variable
 containing the full list of available addresses.

 The planned solution is to remove the single-address limitation, and
 replace the combo boxes with a multi-select box, which lists all available
 addresses on the system, highlighting those currently enabled for use.
 This will coincide with the IP address lookup being moved from direct
 database queries to protocol queries to the master backend, along with
 applications registering their listen address during connection to the
 backend, as well as the ability to rescan the available addresses at times
 other than initial startup. Ideally, this would all be managed from the
 master backend and the new web UI, rather than reworking mythtv-setup, but
 it is likely that will not be ready for 0.27.

 I will keep the use of IPv6 ULA addresses in mind as an analog to the
 RFC1918 private network addresses when I rework this.
