IGMPProxy1.3 is not starting

[bringha]

Hi gliddie,

Your config is indeed a fair and valid option to stream TV via Entertain (tv) in your network, however Imho it is a different story:

I understood that frank wanted to use its new Entertain TV Box.

Getting access to Entertain via Kodi/tvheadend works via different mechanisms currently as I understand it:

If I remember correctly,
- tvheadend does not support igmpv3 either
- tvheadend does not yet support fully SSM
- Trying to access the new streams in the Entertain 87.XX range 'fall back' to the old Entertain addresses in the 193.X/232.X (ie Entertain v1) range
- Some had even reported that only using the ffmpeg pipe mechanisms of tvheadend brought Entertain V2 up. But this might have been fixed already with a newer version of tvheadend
(has been a while ago that I dealt with it)

Indeed you can watch tv via 'Entertain TV contract' then in your network but not yet fully using the foreseen technology mechanisms for Entertain TV technology platform. If you don't care - fine!

The official Entertain tv box requires mandatorily full igmpv3 support including source specific queries.

Yes, i like to run the same configuration as today. But with the new entertainbox from telekom, instead of the current old one from them.

having this said, i would love to see igmpproxy V3 ready. I think the issue is there anyhow, because the V3 platform is as replacement of the old microsoft based box and infrastructure, a least a year active.
Telekom is replacing the old v2 platform very aggressive. Every new contract, and also every contract change, leads to the V3 platform. V2 has no further sales approval, means it is stopped for sales since a year or so.

Interesting  ;) TVHeadend ist working with IGMP V3 and SSM.
Long time I had been using the old IGMP V2 Multicast Streams.
If I try the IGMP V3 stream with VLC it is working, as well as with TVHeadend.
I have no single IGMP V2 Address configured in my TVHeadend.

Am not using the Telekom Boxes, as I only watch a little bit TV.
And with TVHeadend and Kodi, I am a lot more flexible  :)

rtp://87.141.215.251@232.0.20.35:10000 is "Das Erste HD".
It is from the new Entertain TV. I am just watching it through VLC on my Smartphone.
This would not work, if IGMP V3 would not be working with the recent IGMP Proxy in Opnsense.

hmmm.... seeking for the root cause....
just to confirm my configuration.

EntertainZuhause L mit Entertain TV Plus
Vigor NIC 132 (same as 130 but PCI-E Card) running in bridge mode
OPNsense 18.1.10-amd64 - dialing in using pppoe
(OLD) igmpproxy 1.3_1
Telekom Media Receiver 303

I am currently running old Entertain. Have not switched on the new Media Receiver 401, because if i would switch it on, my telekom port will be automatically reconfigured for the new Entertain TV stream. I would not have a fall back to the current situation, that Telekom streams the old Entertain TV platform.

I have the effect, that the new igmpproxy version is NOT starting up. It seems that the pppoe interface is the issue.

So i have not further idea how to close the configuration gap between your an my configuration. I dont see a difference.... beside the fact, that your igmpproxy.conf has differences.

I also understood, the old and new igmpproxy version is not supporting igmpv3... but your is working... so i am confused here....

[frank_p]

Thank you Gliddie :)

I changed the following:

- VLAN Tagging (7) moved from FW to modem
- Actual IGMPproxy version 2.1 installed (is shown as v1.3 in software overview of the FW)

PPPOE dialin is doing OPNSense and works perfect

IGMPproxy is not comming online starting with an normalem system start.
I need to stop OpenVPNServer first.
After stoping OpenVPNServer, i start IGMPproxy manualy via WebGUI.


I am running now in that configuration the actual IGMPproxy serving an  MediaReceiver 303 - IGMPv2

Currently, i don't connect the new MediaReceivers streaming the new EntertainTV based on IGMPv3. Because, i assume IGMPProxy is not providing the full needed functionality (V3 down and up stream) that the new MediaReceiver requires.

Again, a big thank you.

[gliddie]

No Problem,

Have ordered the Telekom MediaReceiver 401 yesterday.
Will give it a try  ;)

I'll report the result after testing.

[frank_p]

Cool  :)
Thank you (!)

Just to say...

This post is not a post pro pfsense, but probably a hint into a direction to make igmpproxy run on opnsense.

It seems that pfsense 2.4.0 is working with igmpproxy and EntertainTV.
https://www.administrator.de/link/pfsense-2-4-0-telekom-entertaintv-2-0-funktionieren-344304.html

also a other software, instead of igmpproxy, call MC-Proxy is mentioned.

regards

Yes, this is a linux based igmp proxy solution which also support SSM and even IPv6 MLD. Some folks out of pfsense have started to port it to freebsd and made compilable however I could not find it publicly available as a working release as in the article below is said that it did not work as the kernel interface linux/freebsd is too different; see also

https://forum.netgate.com/topic/98494/pfsense-2-3-mit-telekom-entertain/20

Btw. the not yet complete freebsd port you can find on GitHub:

Hi gliddie,

kannst Du schon was zu den Erfahrungen mit dem neuen Receiver sagen?

gruss

Hi, I wish I could.
Haven't received the kit yet.
Just checked the order status on Telekoms Webpage and it looks like delivery is due in July 14.

Can't wait to get it  :)

I'll let you know as soon as I have received the box.

Have a nice day,
Gliddie

Hi.
I would also get the word in this thread.
My ISP also offers IPTV but there is no documentation.
The only thing I have is a VLC playlist.

A few month ago a FritzBox was fully functional.
But I used it only a few times.
Now with OPNsense I would reactivate this.

My setup is DHCP on WAN side.
A VLAN 142 for VoIP and a VLAN 141 for IPTV.
The information for the IPTV VLAN comes from the default FritzBox settings which my ISP offers for download.
Now I used a manual for DTAG but I could not get it work.
Systemmessages are:

Code Select Expand


igmpproxy[130]: select() failure; Errno(4): Interrupted system call
igmpproxy[43443]: There must be at least 1 Vif as upstream.


If I select the WAN interface instead of the IPTV VLAN as upstreaming interface the igmpproxy will start.
But also no TV channel comes up.

Hi,

I have just received the Mediareceiveder 401 from Telekom and connected it.
Will begin testing now.

Lets see ....

Greetings,
Gliddie

Ok, I will need a moment to get the box booting up.

1.) At the first start it is looking for an tftp server, to grab its firmware ==> We will need a tftp proxy on opnsense. Else a fresh unboxed MR401 will not start. Also future firmwareupgrades would not work .
2.) Then the box is trying to reach 4 different NTP Servers. And then it stops starting up with an error message stating it cannot contact the NTP servers.

Next step, if my wife gives me time to play: I'll connect the box to the Telekom Router and capture some sniffer traces from the boot process. I just like to see which traffic is running back and forth to build the required firewall rules.

Let's see, I'll be back later today or tomorrow.

Cheers,
Gliddie
