 I have a machine with a number of interfaces wired and wireless. I want
 mythtv to listen on an ethernet interface and not a wireless one.

 When I run mythtv-setup I am given a list with all IPs on the interfaces.
 There is no link on the ethernet interface but it is up and has an
 address.

 I now try and start the backend and it tells me that there is no interface
 with an address present. This isn't true because the address shows up in
 this list:;
 project:
 TARGET=test
 SOURCES += test.cpp
 QT -= gui
 QT += network

 #include <QNetworkInterface>
 #include <QStringList>

 QStringList GetSettingValueList(const QString &type)
 {
     QStringList sList;

     if (type == "LocalIPAddress")
     {
         QList<QHostAddress> list = QNetworkInterface::allAddresses();
         for (uint i = 0; i < (uint)list.size(); i++)
         {
             if (list[i].toString().contains(":"))
                 continue; // ignore IP6 addresses for now
             sList << list[i].toString();
             qDebug() <<   list[i].toString();
         }

         if (sList.isEmpty())
             sList << "127.0.0.1";
     }

     return sList;
 }

 int main(int argc, char* argv[])
 {
     (void)argc;
     (void)argv;
     GetSettingValueList("LocalIPAddress");
     return 0;
 }
