Re: Make RTP work with IPv6 enabled

Hi Ronald,

I did not read emails during the weekend, and I am slowly
starting
to look at my inbox...

Ok, good. I'll try to apply that patch soon

The only possibility I can guess is that s->dest_addr or
s->dest_addr_len
is not set properly.

Just to be 100% sure that I understand correctly: this
happens when you compile
without "--disable-ipv6", even if you try to
stream to IPv4 addresses, right?

This is... Scary :(
I cannot imagine anything that can cause such a behaviour.
In the connect(), you use the same
"s->dest_addr" and
"s->dest_addr_len" used
in sendto(), right? Can you check with an av_log() that the
used values are
the same, just to be 100% sure?

or is that a bad idea?

I do not know... But I do not feel confident with bugs going
away without reasons...
Before changing the code, I'd like to understand what's
going on

That would be a big bug; I think someone should have noticed
it before...
Maybe there are some MacOS forums where we can find more
information about it?
Any other MacOS users on this list?
