Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Selecting an Orchestrator via a complex hexadecimal string is excessively complicated UX.

Describe the solution you'd like

As a Broadcaster, I want to be able to select an Orchestrator by specifying their ENS name.

For example, -ethOrchAddr livepool.eth should resolve to -ethOrchAddr 0xf4e8Ef0763BCB2B1aF693F5970a00050a6aC7E1B

Describe alternatives you've considered

None.

Research direction

Start by locating the Go command-line entry point that handles -ethOrchAddr and tracing where its value is parsed and used. Check the relevant tests or test commands before changing behavior; done means the flag accepts both hexadecimal orchestrator addresses and ENS names such as livepool.eth.
