[vlc] Multicast over IPv6?

More info: I followed the instructions on this page:
http://www.interlab.ait.asia/tein3/ipv6mcast/video.php

In short:
send: vlc video.avi --sout udp://[FF7E:120:2001:222::1111]:1234 --loop
receive: vlc udp://[FF7E:120:2001:222::1111]:1234

It does not work (no picture).

If I used the receivers unicast IPv6 (link local) address instead, then it
worked.
It also works by using an IPv4 multicast address like 239.x.y.z.

Hi!
Does multicast over IPv6 work for anyone?
I tried to send with vlc from one Windows 2012 machine to vlc on Window 8
(same LAN) and it does not work.
If I use an IPv4 multicast address, then it works.
Could this be a regression?
Regards,
David
PS: Anyone knows any simple (netcat like) tools for IPv6 troubleshooting?
