I don't know.  It may be VLC that's having trouble playing the stream 
(e.g., because it doesn't know the port number).

In any case, I don't recommend doing unicast streaming by modifying 
the "test*Streamer" applications.  Instead, use the 
"testOnDemandRTSPServer" or "live555MediaServer" applications, and 
use the RTSP protocol to set up the unicast stream.  That's what it's 
for.
