Orbi IGMP BT Youview multicast IPTV
Hi, Bought this 400£ system supposed to stream 4K and I am still under shock that it doesn't support BT IGMP. Is there a workaroung ? Is this coming soon ???
I tested rtp://234.81.130.4:5802 with the Orbi in AP mode (with HH5 as modem/router) and it worked just fine. With Orbi as the router then it did not connect at all. Same as with BT box.
I will try again when I get the beta installed.
Hi adrewery
Can you confirm that with Vigor130 + Orbi in router mode + latest beta FW that you have BT-TV running ? How about with UHD channels if you have them ?
I am still waiting on getting hold of the beta but also struggling with constant wifi disconnects. Currently, the orbi is disconnected and I'm trying to decide whether to return it or hold out a little longer.
Yes, I have exactly that setup. Vigor 130, Orbi in router mode and BT TV. I don't have their UHD service though. It all works with the latest beta firmware.
Overall things are fairly stable. I still get some dropouts on my iPad occasionaly and streaming to the iPad can be slow when it's connected to the satellite. It's the new iPad Pro 10.5 so might be something specific to that. All the other various devices in the house (mix of android and iOS) seem fine.
The only thing that doesnt work is the Parental Controls. That's frustrating but not a deal breaker as I'm manually using OpenDNS and have setup some scheduled blocking in the Orbi config.
nice one - thanks. If I can get that bit working at least then I will feel happier... I think the UHD stuff should work once the multicast is working, main difference will be the higher bitrate.
1.12.0.18 has just been released so will try it tonight. finger's crossed on the dropouts
New 1.12.0.18 firmware solved the problem - I now have the Orbi in router mode and multicast is working :smileyvery-happy:
