[Icecast] IPV6 in version 2.4.4

[Damian]

Thanks for the response. 

I can confirm that the recommended settings worked and now IPV6 is working as it should.
If anyone is interested, these are the <listen-socket> settings I am using.


<!-- You may have multiple <listen-socket> elements—> 
<listen-socket> 
<port>8000</port> 
<bind-address>0.0.0.0</bind-address> 
</listen-socket> 

<listen-socket> 
<port>8443</port> 
<bind-address>0.0.0.0</bind-address> 
<ssl>1</ssl> 
</listen-socket> 

<listen-socket> 
<port>8000</port> 
<bind-address>::</bind-address> 
</listen-socket> 

<listen-socket> 
<port>8443</port> 
<bind-address>::</bind-address> 
<ssl>1</ssl> 
</listen-socket>


Thanks
Damian
