Flint 2 IPTV not working

Technical Support for Routers
1

Hi, am trying a flint 2 from a Draytek and cannot get IPTV to work, the Draytek has an igmp setting that you just enable to get IPTV to work, no snooping needed, but the Flint 2 does not seem to have this? i have installed igmpproxy plug in but this has not made any difference

Any advice would be much appreciated

Hi Chris,

I wonder how is the topology?, i'd guess you setup the flint 2 as a isp connection or are you doing it through a bridge mode, and also since bridge mode can variate, what does that mode passthrough or does it passthrough everything like a untagged all access port?

the issue is with bridge modus some already untag the iptv already on lan, meaning the flint already should be able to handle iptv, there is also a bridge mode where you need to obtain vlans manually, likely for the vlan one you need igmpproxy, it very depends on the specifics of this implementation.

Hi, so it is setup as an isp router, i have an fttp connection, all is working ok just iptv is not. I have found guides online about editing the igmpproxy file on the router which i have tried but no luck as yet, will need to see if i can find any other options to try, seems like others have this issue with the flint 2 and iptv, some have got it to work some not.

Which firmware?

It's under Network, third from the bottom.

I see, could you post the contents of:

/etc/config/network
/etc/config/firewall
/etc/config/igmpproxy

Note that the igmp/multicast option in gl ui might conflict with igmpproxy, but can be easily managed in luci if needed.

also you are sure the isp configuration for iptv is accurate?, often from my own experience some isps don't always update their recent changes to the public.

@KernelKlink i have the latest firmware release, it updated last night when i connected it up

@xize11 pretty sure the ISP config is ok, was working fine on the Draytek i was running before i swapped in the Flint2, will post the contents of those files when i get back from work later

Thanks again
