UDP streaming is "push" video streaming. That means that the list of
clients is specified server side, and that a client cannot make any
request to the server. the only thing it can do is listening on a UDP
port, waiting for data to be sent. 

Therefore, "udp://10.2.0.230:1235" is a meaningless playlist item, and
VLC prints a warning message, telling that this url won't be parsed
completely. As a consequence, the default 1234 port is used.

try "add udp://:1235" instead.
