Use localhost IP if no --host option was given about pulseaudio-dlna

I really like the idea.
But getting the local ip address is no simple task if you have multiple interfaces as i do.

What do you think of:

import commands
import re

def default_ipv4():
    status_code, result = commands.getstatusoutput('ip route get 255.255.255.255')
    if status_code == 0:
        match = re.findall(r"(?<=src )(\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3})", result)
        if match:
            return match[0]
    return None

yeah ip route get sure is an alternative to hostname -I.
However if people had multiple interfaces they may prefer your still working --host option anyway.

Just a note aside: commands is deprecated in Python3 so I'd recommend subprocess.Popen instead.

Sorry for the late reply.

A friend of mine recommended socket.gethostbyname(socket.getfqdn()), but since this is all about the important default value host i will first test it.

I will implement it this evening (hopefully).

• 0.2.1 - (2015-01-11)
  • TTL changed to 10 and timeout to 5 for UDP broadcasting
  • Added the --renderer-urls option to manually add UPNP devices via their control url
  • Added the --debug flag
  • The host ip address is now discovered automatically, no need to specifiy --host anymore

Cool! Works great now. Thank you!
