VLC: Streaming from gstreamer to VLC over IP6

[randhawp]

Streaming working fine over IP4
This is the SDP file:
v=0
o=IP4 192.168.2.62
i=vvvvv
c=IN IP4 192.168.2.62
s=ESP H264 STREAM
m=video 5000 RTP/AVP 96
a=rtpmap:96 H264/90000
a=fmtp:96 media=video; clock-rate=90000; encoding-name=H264; sprop-parameter-sets=Z00AIOVAKAMogA\=\=\,aO4xEg\=\=


The stream is generated from gstreamer on an embedded camera as:
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw,width
=1280, height=800,framerate='(fraction)'30/1 ! autovideoconvert ! omxh264videoe
nc !queue ! h264parse ! rtph264pay pt=96 ! udpsink host=192.168.2.158 port=50
00 sync=false

the above works correctly over IP4. However when replaced the ipv4 address with ip6, VLC reports the following error:

tcpdump shows udp packets arriving on the client (VLC) computer.

With IP6 is there any other special consideration in the sdp file.
Any ideas ? Anyone ?

Does your live555 version support IPv6 at all?
