           Summary: ipv6 support in rtsp-stream
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 1.x
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-rtsp-server
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

     GNOME version: ---


When binding to an ipv6 socket we create rtsp-streams that have multiudp-sinks
that are not compatible with ipv6. There is a private flag in rtsp-stream:
is_ipv6. This flag works, if I set it to true the system is capable of serving
over ipv6. But noone sets this flag and it is non-trivial to do it correctly.
The reason is that when creating the stream it's hard to get the information
(since media and thus stream is created in the construct media factory call
which we have little control over, and we do not necassarily have the clients
yet (thus being able to look at the client address to figure it out).

My ideas are ranging from something simple just trying to communicate the
is_ipv6 through the construct call to refactorying the media and extracting the
stream construction to a seperate factory system enabling this case and other
future cases.

What do upstream guys think?
