stream.ipv6.frequence3.net has IPv6 address 2001:41d0:1:bb99::1

32 dec = 0x20
1 dec = 0x01
65 dec = 0x41
208 dec = 0xd0

mplayer prints the first 32 bit of the IPv6 address as IPv4 address. This is a new bug in the karmic package, it's fine up to jaunty.

I've just upstreamed the bug, you might want to subscribe to upstream's bugzilla as well.

[Vadim Gusev (zarbis)]

I've noticed same behavior not only in mplayer. git seems to act the same way:

git pull
git.videolan.org[0: 32.1.65.208]: errno=Connection timed out
git.videolan.org[0: 2001:41d0:1:a690::1]: errno=Network is unreachable
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Network is unreachable)

Is it system-wide karmic-specific bug, or just two apps are acting in a same wrong way?
