bind interface detection is broken

Sorry, broken link: [source:/trunk/coherence/upnp/core/utils.py@HEAD#L140

ha, broke it again, but i think it works :)

Replying to trickie:

When detecting the interface to bind to, at the moment coherence tries to parse /proc/net/route and then fallback to parsing netstat output (this is on linux), if you didn't supply the interface to bind to in config. The test when picking an interface while parsing /proc/net/route in the function get_host_address should look for the destination '00000000' (like when parsing netstat output) or at least exclude the 'lo' interface. I have a bridge interface for various physical interfaces and when currently taking the first non-0.0.0.0 gateway it always binds to 'lo', so i cannot use the rhythmbox plugin successfully as it does not look for user config and fallbacks to interface detection.

Hi,

ok, ic. Could you pls attach the output of /proc/net/route here, so I can use that for the unit-tests.

And yes, the rb plugin needs some via the plugin-ui accessible config options.

I also attached the patch that works quite well for me.
