I'm using an ancient version it seems :(
jbaker@squiffle:~/dev/jss-sso/sso/trunk/java$ vlc -v
VLC media player 2.2.1 Terry Pratchett (Weatherwax) (revision
2.2.1-0-ga425c42)
[0000000001b02148] core libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface.
Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
Installed by default with Ubuntu 15.10. I'll upgrade.
I'm curious to whether you know why the video is not an ogg?

Err, vlc 3 doesn't exist according to the wiki, I've got vlc 2.2.1 and
2.2.2 is the current version?

I found VLC3, the nightly builds. I installed, checked version
(3.0.0-git built Feb 16th) and it still doesn't render. But it renders
correctly in mplayer. Curious! VLC is supposed to be rock solid
reliable...

What doesn't quite work? Not knowing what the problem is makes it
difficult to suggest answers but here are a couple of thoughts.
I don't think you need the
{mime=multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=--7b3cc56e5f51db803f790dad720ed50a}
any more, I think that is history. I don't know whether it does any
harm though.
I think (though may be wrong) that the url has to be .mpjpeg, at least
that is what I do, so something like dst=0.0.0.0:10000/go.mpjpeg
I don't know about the --no-audio, I have acodec=none inside the
transcode instead, but --no-audio may have the same effect.
What is the delay=0 for?
I don't know of a vlc option to only record every Xth frame. Where I
have seen timelapse created it has been by using vlc (for example) to
capture images and then ffmpeg to stitch them back together.
