[IOS] Unable to determine our source address: This computer has an invalid IP address: 0.0.0.0

When trying to get from network using this code:

VlcPlayerController _vlcViewController = new VlcPlayerController.network("rtsp://192.168.1.9/live/ch00_0");

VlcPlayer( controller: _vlcViewController, aspectRatio: 1.23, placeholder: Text("Loading"), )

On Android it loads fine, but on iOS I get the following error:

"Unable to determine our source address: This computer has an invalid IP address: 0.0.0.0"

Flutter doctor output:

As far as I can tell, this is a MobileVLCKit issue, rather than a flutter_vlc_player issue (as of the time of this writing, flutter_vlc_player wraps MobileVLCKit version 3.3.15). We use React Native and are encountering the exact same issue with live555 throwing the invalid IP address error. VLC wraps live555 internally for RTSP streaming. Some discussion here https://code.videolan.org/videolan/VLCKit/-/issues/519 for those of us facing the same issues.

Yes, it seems like an issue with VLC, not with the Flutter plugin.
I will close this issue and continue in the conversation you mentioned @bachhuberdesign.
