[vlc] Multicast over IPv6?

[David Balažic]

More info: I followed the instructions on this page:
http://www.interlab.ait.asia/tein3/ipv6mcast/video.php

In short:
send: vlc video.avi --sout udp://[FF7E:120:2001:222::1111]:1234 --loop
receive: vlc udp://[FF7E:120:2001:222::1111]:1234

It does not work (no picture).

If I used the receivers unicast IPv6 (link local) address instead, then it
worked.
It also works by using an IPv4 multicast address like 239.x.y.z.
