I am trying to stream a file over IPv6 multicast. It appears as though the streaming computer is sending the data. When i try to start the client computer listening to the stream i get an error message: "Your input can not be opened. Vlc is unable to open the MRL udp://@[ff08::1]:1234. Check log for details." I haven't found any logs. I have set a log file under preferences -> advanced-> logging but VLC doesnt seem to create the log file listed there either. Would anyone have any suggestion on getting this device to listen to the stream.

sorry for the type in the subject. obviously it should have been IPv6
