Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mplayer
When playing a media file in mplayer from the network it pauses some time while
these two lines are printed:
Resolving bla.com for AF_INET6...
Couldn't resolve name for AF_INET6: bla.com...
Since most networks currently (still) only use IPv4, it doesn't make sense to
let the user wait for that dns query.
For this exact purpose mplayer has the following option (taken from the man
page):
-prefer-ipv4 (network only)
Use IPv4 on network connections. Falls back on IPv6 automati‐
cally.
This option should be enabled by default in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf with the
following line:
prefer-ipv4 = yes
** Affects: mplayer (Ubuntu)
Importance: Untriaged
Status: Unconfirmed
