[Live-devel] Finding out the hostname in GroupsockHelper...

[Joseph Lazar]

Hi Ross,

In GroupsockHelper.cpp (ourSourceAddressForMulticast) you start finding 
out our own host IP via sending out a multicast packet with a 5 sec 
timeout. In most cases this will run to a timeout, while the 
gethostname() or gethostbyname() will always work and much faster than 
the previous. Couldn't it be a better solution to have those before the 
multicast stuff. Now we always start the stream 5 secs later 
(practically a 5 secs delay every time we open a session).
