How to specify ipv6 source address in output stream

I am in need of specifying the source ipv6 address on a output stream. Right now vlc is using the link local address but in my application I need the source ip to be the global address.
Is there a way to do this from the command line or GUI?
Using freeBSD and vlc 3.0.8.

Typically between square brackets, but you're not being very specific here.

Hi,
What is the option to use for specifying the source address for the stream?
Here is the cli that I am currently using:
vlc <FILENAME> --sout "#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100,scodec=none}" --sout "rtp{dst=[ff30:1:1:1:1:1:1:1],port5004,mux=ts}" --sout-all --sout-keep --loop
When I use the above and look at the output from the server with wireshark, vlc is using the local link address (ff80:xx:xx....) for the source address of the stream. I need the source address of the stream to be the global address (2001:666::666) of the interface.

Hi,
Sorry local link address should be fe80:xx:xx... not ff80:xx:xx...
