Didn't work either. Now i gave up trying to get vlc stream and used vls 
and got it stream to address ff02::1:3:1 port 1234 (checked it with 
ethereal) but when i use vlc connect that stream got more problems. Tried 
following commands:

vlc -v -6 udp://@[ff02::1:3:1]:1234
vlc -v -6 udp6://@[ff02::1:3:1]:1234
