Bug #1740
Unable to add code word client connection using hostname instead of IP address
0%
Description
I'm using Tvheadend 3.4 with the latest Oscam for getting decryption keys. Everything is fine but I'm not able to use a hostname instead of an IP address when configuring the newcamd client in Tvheadend. Here's a log snippet from after I've changed the client address to the corresponding hostname, along with a few nslookups to prove that the domain really exists:

I'm not sure if this issue is due to me having a dual-stack network. Oscam seems to support IPv6 (at least the web interface is accessible over it) and I use the -6 switch when starting Tvheadend.

Updated by Just to clarify, the logs shows me changing the client to "gorbachov.negge.fi", then to "gorbachov", then back to 10.110.1.1 (the IP it should resolve to) which is the only option that works.

I've been using hostnames in CWC configuration since I started using it (about a year ago). I can only assume this is a configuration fault on the machine, local DNS issue?

I don't think I ever figured out the issue, it just started working quite soon after I posted this. I've now set up CWC clients on four different machines (in four different network environments) without a hitch so there's definitely not an issue with the code.
