_raop._tcp resolving to linklocal address #8

Hi All,

I am trying a snapshot of forked-daapd (jul 20th time frame, avahi version is 0.6.27) with an airtunes device and iPod Touch remote. The iPod touch remote does not list the speakers connected to the air tunes device. On furthur debugging i find that the forked-daapd is failing to build the list of speakers connected on the network. During initialization when the _raop._tcp service is being resolved the airTunes device is returning two ip addresses(169.254.236.174, configured ip address). Since avahi returns only one of the addresses, it is the returning the link local address (169.254.236.174). The browse_resolve_callback() ignores this address and does not invoke the call back which builds the list of remote speakers.

How is forked-daapd expected to behave in this scenario (when multiple IP address are returned during resolution) . Do we need to add additional code to browse all the records in the mDNS response ?

Thanks in advance Samba
