UDP:// streaming disappeared between 1.0.5 and 1.1.0-pre4

It appears that udp:// input is no longer accepted in the new 1.1.0-pre4 release. It is not described as an MRL type and when I try it I get nothing.
Strangely if I load a udp:// stream through the SAP listener interface it still works fine... Should udp://x.x.x.x:1234 still work directly?
thanks

Let me guess. VLC waits for IPv6 packets, and the sender uses IPv4.
You can try "udp://0.0.0.0" but you should really never ever use "udp://". It is too promiscuous.

IPv4 and not IPv6 is correct, and I also forgot to mention Multicast as opposed to Unicast...
turns out I was leaving off the @ before the address udp://225.168.3.28:1234 as opposed to udp://@225.168.3.28:1234
once I added that @, everything seems to work fine again, as usual the problem existed between my keyboard and my chair
