Atleast on it can be seen on server tcpdump and the reply is coming from server 
link-local address ff80::2e0:3ff:fe05:4b4c... and for testing purpose i removed 
all other host (excluding server and client) from this link.

I think that problem could be that client cannot join in ff02::1:3:1 multicast 
group, i dont know the reason for that. There must be a way to tell vlc to join 
in the group.
