The Orbi (as of writing any model and version) does not support IGMP Multicast handling on and through the network.
Very different, eg. all Plus, Smart Managed, and Managed switches as well as the WAC5xx and WAX6xx wireless access points can be configured to support IGMP Multicast by the selected VLAN.

Just want to say thanks for everyones' contributions in this thread, and for the sterling efforts of BH_C and the Team to get things working 🙂
Really impressed with the response, and happy to say that at the time of writing, everything continues to work seamlessly on both my wired and wireless set top boxes (the former still behind a couple of unmanaged switches!).
Hopefully things remain like this and the fix can make its way to the official firmware branch 🤞
