How can I save these stream settings?

If I play "avaudiocapture://SoundflowerEngine" right after clicking the "open" button (red circle in the right hand side above), the Android client is able to connect to the stream (i.e to "http://192.168.0.234:8123"). But if I save the playlist and play it back, Android phone will not connect.

It's kind of annoying because everytime I close and reopen VLC on my MAC, the stream settings are all gone and I have to make them again.

Any help is kindly appreciated. Thank you!

EDIT:
Current workaround is to run a script (AppleScript) that:
1. Starts VLC
2. Does the necessary steps to get to the configuration form, then fills it with the needed information
3. Closes the configuration form and hides VLC.

Code: Select all

set delayOne to 0.7

-- activates (or opens it if it's not already open)
tell application "VLC" to activate

-- gets to the "Open Capture Device..." window
tell application "System Events"
	keystroke "r" using command down
end tell
delay delayOne

-- checks the "Audio" and "Stream output" boxes
set firstX to 606
set firstY to 389
do shell script "eval $(/usr/libexec/path_helper -s); cliclick c:" & firstX & "," & firstY
delay delayOne
set secondX to 566
set secondY to 511
do shell script "eval $(/usr/libexec/path_helper -s); cliclick c:" & secondX & "," & secondY
delay delayOne

-- clicks on the "Settings..." button
set thirdX to 1073
set thirdY to 516
do shell script "eval $(/usr/libexec/path_helper -s); cliclick c:" & thirdX & "," & thirdY
delay delayOne

-- clicks on the Stream radio button
set fourthX to 603
set fourthY to 313
do shell script "eval $(/usr/libexec/path_helper -s); cliclick c:" & fourthX & "," & fourthY
delay delayOne

-- fills in the "address" and "port" information (key code 48 is the tab key on my keyboard)
tell application "System Events"
	key code 48
	keystroke "192.168.0.234"
	key code 48
	keystroke "8123"
end tell

-- opens the "Encapsulation Method" drop-down menu
set fifthX to 769
set fifthY to 378
do shell script "eval $(/usr/libexec/path_helper -s); cliclick c:" & fifthX & "," & fifthY
delay delayOne

-- selects "Raw" and simulates the "return" key action
tell application "System Events"
	keystroke "r"
	key code 36
end tell

-- checks the "Audio" box below
set sixthX to 603
set sixthY to 497
do shell script "eval $(/usr/libexec/path_helper -s); cliclick c:" & sixthX & "," & sixthY
delay delayOne

-- fills in the "Bitrate (kb/s)" and "Channels" information
tell application "System Events"
	key code 48
	keystroke "320"
	key code 48
	keystroke "2"
end tell

-- clicks "ok"
set seventhX to 1085
set seventhY to 696
do shell script "eval $(/usr/libexec/path_helper -s); cliclick c:" & seventhX & "," & seventhY
delay delayOne

-- closes the "Open Source" window by simulating the "return" key action (notice that the "Open" button is selected). Command+h is to hide VLC.
tell application "System Events"
	key code 36
	keystroke "h" using command down
end tell
