simctl recordVideo - problem streaming the video

I want to be able to stream the booted simulator's screen to a video output. I know that simctl has a recordVideo option that supports streaming. I've tried the following command:

xcrun simctl io DEVICE_ID recordVideo --type=fmp4 tcp://127.0.0.1:9010

Which seems to correctly start a stream. But then, if I try to connect to the stream, e.g. with VLC, nothing happens.

The console outputs the following:

Using host address localhost.
Connected to client address at localhost.

but nothing is displayed in VLC. Am I doing something wrong?

It's very difficult to find any documentation for this, so any help is much appreciated
