      pfSense version:
      2.0.1-RELEASE (i386)
      built on Mon Dec 12 17:53:52 EST 2011
      FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE

      Trying to get my IPTV goin' on pfSense. A year ago it was perfectly running on my gentoo box.
      There is a custom IPTV player my ISP provides. Though, wireshark did his job and now I can view all channels, while connected directly, via VLC on my laptop. I made m3u playlist for those:

      #EXTINF:0,LRT
      udp://@233.136.41.12:1234
      #EXTINF:0,TV3
      udp://@233.136.41.39:1234
      #EXTINF:0,Lietuvos Ryto TV
      udp://@233.136.41.15:1234
      #EXTINF:0,TV6
      udp://@233.136.41.38:1234
      #EXTINF:0,BTV
      udp://@233.136.41.20:1234
      #EXTINF:0,LRT Kultura
      udp://@233.136.41.31:1234
      #EXTINF:0,Penki TV
      udp://@239.255.13.185:1234
      #EXTINF:0,Zvaigdze
      udp://@239.255.12.42:1234
      #EXTINF:0,Anonsai
      udp://@239.255.13.182:1234

      What i did on my pfSense box to pass-through multicast:

      • Destroyed my bridge with wireless card, so that I knew its not the case of misbehavior
      • Reset pfSense to standart settings
      • Enabled rule in System -> Advanced -> Firewall/NAT (Disables the PF scrubbing option which can sometimes interfere with NFS and PPTP traffic.)
      • Added Upstream (WAN) 239.255.12.0/24, 224.0.0.0/4 to igmproxy config
      • Added Downstream (LAN) 192.168.0.0/24 to igmpproxy config
      • Firewall -> Rules -> WAN added    UDP * * 224.0.0.0/4 * * none
                                                        UDP * * 239.255.12.0/24 * * none
      • Firewall -> Rules -> LAN added    IGMP LAN net * 224.0.0.0/4 * * none
                                                        IGMP LAN net * 239.255.12.0/24 * * none
          Both with (This allows packets with IP options to pass. Otherwise they are blocked by default. This is usually only seen with multicast traffic) ticked.
          Put both rules above existing.

      I doubt that rules with 239.255.12.0/24 are necessary, but they don't conflict anyways.
      Any help would be appreciated.
