Hi Thomas, Thomas Claveirole wrote,
getaddrinfo() does not implement IDN encoding, and always fail when provided an IDN flag (e.g., AI_IDN) with EAI_BADFLAGS.

Thanks for your time. My custom Buildroot repository already features a similar VLC patch that fixes the issue. I just thought this was not a proper fix and I should rather address the problem directly in uClibc-ng, then push the patch to upstream uClibc-ng.
(To me this is a libc issue, not a VLC or inetutils issue.)
I agree. I underestimated the needed work to get IDN working. I applied and pushed the patch, thx Waldemar
