Icecast - Dec 2017 - I can't start video streaming

Dear Guys;

I am very beginner of Icecast, but I already setup several icecast servers
with MP3 audio music broadcasting with icecast2 (2.4) and BUTT or ices as
source clients. Those are works well for almost one year already.

I tried to make video casting with icecast2 (2.4) and VLC media player as a
source client, but icecast never recognize VLC as a source.

icecast.xml had set just same as I made MP3 stream case;

    <listen-socket>
        <port>8000</port>
        <!-- <bind-address>127.0.0.1</bind-address> -->
             <shoutcast-mount>/bfmvideocast</shoutcast-mount>
    </listen-socket>

at VLC setting, I put icecast2 information, and I select "Video - Theora +
Vorbis (OGG)" as profile.
Although I started VLC, icecast never recognize sourse client, according to
icecast admin site.

When I started VLC, I'v got a error message at icecast error.log, those are;

[2017-12-06  15:23:54] INFO fserve/fserve_client_create checking for file
/style.css (/usr/share/icecast2/web/style.css)

I'm sorry I can't understand this meaning.

Dose anybody help letting me know how to start video stream with icecast
and VLC?
I am not trying to to do difficult things, I just want make video stream.

Thank you,

This is completely unrelated to any source client. It's not an error 
message
either. (it starts with INFO)

Using VLC as source client for Icecast is very tricky due to several 
usability
problems with the shout module in VLC.
