Myth does understand hostnames in the standard way. Look at the source
:-). It works here, and it has since I started using it in .13 (and
certainly even before that), so it's most likely a problem on your end.
Did you muck with your nsswitch.conf? If your hosts and resolv.conf are
setup fine, but your nsswitch.conf doesn't tell your system to use them,
they don't do much good. :-)
