Sorry, i could have been more clear on this. I think it is a quite similar idea but a more general approach. I made some assumptions about how this software...

actually i would like to store the entries alongside the archives. so there still would be a cost associated to accessing them but this ensures some consistency between the data...

When using the discover command packets leave the untunneld interface. This is because it is using multicast which wont work on the tunnel interface. Could this be the reason it...

While this would allow me to have more control on how the socket is created (i.e. by specifying an IP address) i think you should still consider to allow users...

I tried to follow the code path and it looks like in both cases the same code path is taken. https://github.com/Silicondust/libhdhomerun/blob/master/hdhomerun_device.c#L160 https://github.com/Silicondust/libhdhomerun/blob/master/hdhomerun_device.c#L37 https://github.com/Silicondust/libhdhomerun/blob/master/hdhomerun_device.c#L57 https://github.com/Silicondust/libhdhomerun/blob/master/hdhomerun_control.c#L49 https://github.com/Silicondust/libhdhomerun/blob/master/hdhomerun_control.c#L96 https://github.com/Silicondust/libhdhomerun/blob/master/hdhomerun_discover.c#L449 https://github.com/Silicondust/libhdhomerun/blob/master/hdhomerun_discover.c#L119 https://github.com/Silicondust/libhdhomerun/blob/master/hdhomerun_sock_posix.c#L40 this is...

Ok understood, thanks for trying to help me :) I will try to debug this tomorrow some more with a fresh mind (and probably a debugger ;D).
