vlc android streaming by ubuntu

I have tried to play video from my PC to android app but the android app can not find the PC vlc.

When i run the vlc on my PC i have this error:

 vlc
VLC media player 3.0.8 Vetinari (revision 3.0.8-0-gf350b6b5a7)
[00005577d41cb470] [cli] lua interface: Listening on host "*console".
VLC media player 3.0.8 Vetinari
Command Line Interface initialized. Type `help' for help.

[00005577d40ee570] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

And in this time i have this port open:

so@so-notebook:~$ netstat -lp |grep vlc
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1234 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2083/vlc
tcp6 0 0 [::]:http-alt [::]:* LISTEN 2083/vlc
tcp6 0 0 [::]:1234 [::]:* LISTEN 2083/vlc 

The vlc setting is :

enter image description here

and the $HOME/.config/vlc/vlcrc file is like this.

Also at app port is settled on 8080, pass is 1234 and the IP is settled by ifconfig output result in PC.

So what do you thin i mus to do?

Thanks.
