Answer 1

I've just managed to play stream in QML VideoOutput with C++ QMediaPlayer using the setMedia(QUrl("http://127.0.0.1:8080"));
The stream was created by VLC media player using the HTTP to the 8080 port. I've also succeeded in playing the stream created by VLC media player to local file by passing it to QMediaPlayer via setMedia(QMediaContent(), &localFile);.
