VLC 3.5.4 did mention that it had made several enhancements regarding remote access. Your Nightly would be 3.6.0 Beta 2, which would have those enhancements. So my best guess is that you found a bug (or at least sub-optimal user interface) and it has been fixed.
I’m not sure it has been fixed. VLC does ask you to enter your LAN computer’s credentials the first time you try to access the Local Network. It’s the uninstall/reinstall that caused it to ask, not the new version – this is my guess.
