Description Jens Georg 2011-07-07 07:31:34 UTC 
Currently gssdp only supports IPv4, let's make it future-proof.
Comment 1 Riko Yamada 2012-07-01 22:05:35 UTC 
Once we bump to glib-2.32, I think we can close this bug
Comment 2 Jens Georg 2012-07-02 07:04:52 UTC 
No. Adding IPv6 support is a bit more than just supporting it in the low-level functions. Announcement-sets need to be sent on the proper v6 multicast address with the proper scoping etc.

Plus IIRC there's a difference between the different UPnP standards, with UDA 1.1 being the saner one.

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gssdp/log/?h=wip/ipv6 and
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gupnp/log/?h=wip/ipv6

No context-manager supports v6 currently, if context is manually created, it is already possible to talk to a Windows 7 media player using IPv6

Fixed on master \o/
