Is Pro-MPEG w/ RTP (SMPTE 2022-1) implemented in VLC yet?

Hi, hopefully just a quick one.

I'm using the VLC desktop client on my Windows 10 machine. The VLC version is 3.0.8 Vetinari and, according to the dialogue box when I scan for updates, this is the latest release.
I am playing a video file over an RTP + Pro-MPEG FEC multicast from FFMpeg, and I am hoping to be able to decode it and make a .ts recording of the output using VLC on my PC.
I can receive and play the network stream (rtp://@239.192.1.100:5000) but, from looking at a PCAP and the FFMpeg documentation, the FEC packets are sent on 2 & 4 ports incremented, so in this case 5002 and 5004.
Does the fact that I can join the stream and play the video in VLC mean that Pro-MPEG has been implemented, or that VLC is simply ignoring the FEC packets?
I saw on the bounties page that it was a feature yet to be implemented, but I think that was last updated in 2018 so here's to hoping.
Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
GK

That's not implemented, and even if it were, it wouldn't work with rtp://... locators.
