Try
39 2 23 2 * DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0 /usr/local/bin/vlc --advanced \
udpstream:@239.113.1.83:11111

Try to get debugging output into a file and see, what happens:
   vlc -v 2 > /tmp/vlc.debug 2>&1

Why do you want to start a graphical tool from a cron command? If you 
just want wo record things on a regular schedule, you may try and use 
commandline only:
$ vlc --longhelp
$ vlc --intf dummy

Hope, this helps,
Hans-Jürgen
