They broke IPv6 multicast streaming in VLC version 2.0.6. It works in version 2.0.5 although it required that you opened for ICMPv6 type 143 outgoing in the windows firewall (at least in Windows 7) in order to get SSM to work. ASM worked fine iirc.

I opened a ticket with the Videolan team 15 months ago, but the ticket hasn't received much attention: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/13071

Thanks a lot for this info.

I have now verified that VLC 2.0.5 indeed works on Windows 10 (at least if I join the stream from a Linux box on the same subnet as the windows machine), and VLC 2.0.6 gives an immediate error when trying to open the same URL/stream.

I will send in this comment in the ticket.
