RTP stream does not play in Mac OSX VLC 2.2.4

I have a raspberry pi 3 module with camera using the following stream output over the internet

raspivid -o - -t 0 -w 640 -h 480 -fps 25 | cvlc -vvv stream:///dev/stdin --sout '#rtp{mux=ts,sdp=rtsp://:8554/}' :demux=h264

Trying to open this stream from a mac book does not work. The message log shows the following errors ...

core debug: set config option: sout-standard-access to http
core debug: set config option: sout-standard-dst to http://www.ustream.tv/channel/iss-hdev-payload
stream_out_standard error: no mux specified or found by extension
core debug: no sout stream modules matched
core debug: destroying chain... (name=(null))
core debug: destroying chain done
core error: stream chain failed for `standard{mux="",access="http",dst="www.ustream.tv/channel/iss-hdev-payload"}'
core error: cannot start stream output instance, aborting

lua debug: Trying Lua scripts in /Applications/VLC.app/Conten

This stream can be opened from VLC on Apple TV and iOS device internal to my network ... is Mac OS X VLC missing something ?

It is really frustrating how poor the Mac support is for documentation and usage guidance.

Hi, please don't revive ancient forum posts for no reason. If you encountered an issue, please open a new thread with your problem and details how to reproduce.

I agree that the state of user documentation isn't great but it's currently being worked on at https://docs.videolan.me/vlc-user/
