Channel icons not appearing in guide on remote frontend using IPv6 (v0.27-72-gea5af90)

Description

I'm having an issue on a remote frontend where no channel icons appear in the guide, either entering Live TV or scheduling a recording. The mythfrontend -v file,gui logs reveal the following group of messages for each channel. I am not sure where the "%5" comes from after the icon file name.

I can confirm that mythconverg does not have "%5" as part of the icon name. I can also confirm that the icons exist in the MYTHCONFDIR (/etc/mythtv/channels) and are accessible by the user running the backend (mythtv). If it makes a difference, I am using the blue-abstract-wide theme.

MythUIHelper: 
LoadCacheImage(myth://ChannelIcons@[<IPv6_addr_redacted>:6543]/this_tv_network.jpg%5,myth:--
ChannelIcons@[<IPv6_addr_redacted>:6543]-this_tv_network.jpg%5--102x85.png)

MythUIHelper: MythUIHelper::CacheImage : Cache Count = :123: size :164:

After closer inspection, I can see that the "port" portion ":6543" is included within the brackets, which is causing the failure.

I've traced back from through MythCoreContext::GetMasterHostPrefix? to MythCoreContext::GenMythURL and everything *appears* as though it should work. I cannot figure out why the port is inserted inside of the brackets unless the following in mythtv/libs/libmythbase/mythcorecontext.cpp isn't working ~L676:

#if !defined(QT_NO_IPV6)
    // Basically if it appears to be an IPv6 IP surround the IP with [] 
otherwise don't bother
    if (( addr.protocol() == QAbstractSocket::IPv6Protocol ) || 
(host.contains(":")))
        m_host = "[" + host + "]";
#endif

Since IPv6 addresses can contain %{num} as the zone index, it's not safe to use QString::arg() in GenMythUrl?(). Potentially fixes #11937

Can you confirm that your configured Master Server IP does not have the port number attached in mythtv-setup?

comment:5 Changed 10 years ago by Bill Meek <keemllib@…>

Responding to Mike Deans request on the -users list, the 'printable version' of mine is:

MasterServerIP = fdf9:a66:2cd8:1::223

And, :223 is truly a part of the IPv6 Unique Local Address not a port.

MariaDB [mythconverg]> select * from mythconverg.settings where value = 'MasterServerIP';

Simplify MythCoreContext::GetMasterHostPrefix?(). It's a waste of time to get the IP/port from the socket when we can be using the values from the settings instead, if we're not already connected to the master we will soon be connecting anyway to conduct the file transfer.

Unfortunately, the above leads to the following output where the redaced IPv6 address is a gloabl IPv6 address (not a link-local):

I neglected to add that my successful tests were done on v0.28-pre-472-gdce054f. I don't get the empty %[024]s above. FWIW, Qt version: compile: 4.8.4, runtime: 4.8.4. I use ULAs, and haven't tried Link-Local addresses.
