Cannot use IPv6 Link Local Address

[W4RH4WK]

Bug report

Describe the bug

Here is a clear and concise description of what the problem is:

I'd like to add a media center to my Kore app where the address is the IPv6 link local address of my laptop.
This would allow me to easily use Kore with my Kodi instance on the go, not having to reconfigure core when I am using a different wifi.
Both, laptop and phone are connected to the same wifi, and IPv6 is enabled.

Using the regular IPv6 address of my laptop, written with [ ] works fine, but using the link local address + scope does not.
For instance: [fe80::9284:87b4:cbc6:752e%wlan0]

Using LanDroid on my phone to ping the laptop via this link local address works fine.

Expected Behavior

Here is a clear and concise description of what was expected to happen:

Accept and use [fe80::9284:87b4:cbc6:752e%wlan0] as media center address as expected.

Actual Behavior

IPv6 link local addresses do not seem to work.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run Kodi on a machine with IPv6 on the same network
2. Verify that the wifi interface name on the phone is wlan0
3. Try connecting to Kodi using the IPv6 link local address (+ scope)

Debuglog

Kore can't connect to Kodi.
