I think Starlink has a leading zero in the third group for all IPv6 addresses but it would be great to know if you can get one without that.
Well, I guess it all depends on how far this potential “bug” goes. I can get ipv6 addresses that has 0 = NO numbers as well such as 2a0d::3344 etc… To colon beside each other means a 0 between them. Is this also affected by the bug?
It’s only leading zeros that will show up as 2a0d:
:0344 or they can be omitted such as 2a0d::344. It’s possible that Starlink is using a leading zero in the 3rd group for normal residential accounts that have a 56 prefix length and this may be what is causing the problem.
Let me know if you can get an IP address from Starlink with no leading zeros. If this works or doesn’t work, that information will likely help Connor and the team. I’m using my IPv6 address with a number of services so I can’t easily change mine.
I have not been able to test an ipv6 address without at least one leading zero. Any news from the development team?
Connor said they are working on it. Afaik it’s only a problem if the leading zero is in the third group. There is a special IPv6 mode that is enabled when the entire 3rd group is all zeros so my guess is that Roon is assuming that mode then failing when it finds the second hex digit in the group is non-zero when I think they should be assuming it’s not that special mode.
