Description Steffen 2010-10-18 10:52:41 UTC 
I use totem and gnome-dvb-daemon to watch Digital TV.
Totem receives URLs of my local rtsp server which is used for transmitting the data.

However the hostname in the URL is translated to the IPv6 address ::1. Since the rtsp server only listens on my IPv4 address the connection is not successfull. Replacing the hostname with localhost or my IPv4 address solves the problem.

I think gstreamer should try to use the other addresses if the first one is not working.

This should not be a problem anymore with latest git master, multiple resolutions of a hostname are now tried until one works.
