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.
