NFS share on IPv6

Description

Seems that VLC for Android can't open NFS share if it is available on IPv6, is it true?

Expected behavior

I should see share content.

Actual behavior

Empty folder.

Steps to reproduce

  1. make NFS share with insecure option available on IPv4 (for test only) and IPv6 (default);
  2. run VLC for Android;
  3. on "Browse" push + (Add), choose NFS;
  4. enter IPv6 address (or host name being resolved to IPv6 address only);
  5. enter path;
  6. choose folder in "Favorites".
