Unable to start RTSP/VOD server after upgrading to 4.1.x kernel

Hello!
I have my home server with USB DVB-T tuner and I was streaming DVB-T over VOD to my bedroom. I upgraded the kernel from 3.x.x to 4.1.4 and probably vlc to some current version and since then I am not able to connect to the streams.
I am running Arch Linux 4.1.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Aug 3 21:30:37 UTC 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux with VLC media player 2.2.1 Terry Pratchett (Weatherwax) (revision 2.2.1-0-ga425c42).
The problem is, that after I start the VOD server with:

Code: Select all

[mavac@bolt ~]$/usr/bin/cvlc -I dummy --rtsp-host 192.168.1.129 --rtsp-port 8888 --vlm-conf /home/mavac/channel.conf -vv
I can see a lot of EPG data running on console, but with netstat I can't see any process bound to port 8888.
And that's the reason I can't connect to VOD streams.
Do you know what has changed, that the cvlc ran under normal user can't bind itself to rtsp port?
Or is there some config change needed?

Thanks,

a newbie MaVac
