I think you will probably need to open laptop firewall port 8079
because you want to enable a connection to go from player into VLC
running on laptop.  No need to change fritzbox since connection is on
your local LAN.

Before opening the firewall
1. You may be able to test by using say Window Media player on the
laptop and try to play the stream 

2. Check the firewall log to see if it has refused incoming connections
on port 8079 - if this is the problem it should be logged.
