Play UDP stream in VLC?

I receive an UDP video stream of which I know both the IP adresses and the incoming and outgoing ports of both computers. How can I play it in vlc?

udp:@:1234

Does not work for me. How to fix this?

Use this syntax: udp://@:1234

However, it is also possible that VLC is interpreting the @ as listening on an IPv6 port instead of IPv4, in which case this page suggests that using udp://@0.0.0.0:1234 may get it to listen on an IPv4 port.
