DLNA across VLAN subnets with IGMP Proxy not working

Rai80

You can try pimd instead of igmpproxy. See:
https://freebsd.pkgs.org/11/freebsd-ports-quarterly-amd64/pimd-2.3.2.txz.html
https://github.com/troglobit/pimd

Install with pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/quarterly/All/pimd-2.3.2.txz

Thanks dude, with pimd it's working fine.
Perfect solution

@snow Nice!

Can u post your pimd.conf? I tried earlier about the same without succes. Maybe I give it another try :)

Currently I'm using an unmodified pimd.conf with one exception concerning the interface section:

phyint re0 disable
phyint em0.30 enable
phyint em0.31 enable
phyint em0.32 disable
phyint em0.33 disable
phyint em0.34 disable
phyint em0.35 disable
phyint em0.36 enable
phyint pppoe0 disable
phyint ovpns1 disable

As shown above it's only enabled on Vlan interface em0.30, em0.31 and em0.36.
Because all non-loopback multicast capable interfaces are enabled by default, you also need to disable the interfaces which are not required for multicast explicitly.

The only thing I noticed, it takes currently 20 - 30 seconds until the DLNA server will be found on the clients.
For an example:

Android with BubbleUPnP: 20 sec
IPad with VLC: 30 sec

I think this behaviour can be optimized in pimd.conf.

Thx.

I think it has something to do with the default timers.

Maybe a long shot, but I'm having problems using IGMPproxy. I am getting

The IGMP message was local multicast. Ignoring.

did a

igmpproxy --vv

but I still can't figure this error message out. So I "think" that the discovery (239.255.255.250 SSDP ) of the devices won't traverse over the IGMP proxy and thus they cannot connect across VLAN's. I tried PIMD, but alas no avail.

Can someone help or point me in the right direction.

Can you post your igmpproxy.conf and pimd.conf ?

And your network overview.

@rai80 Thanks for your reply, I added the conf files

In the pimd config I only added the devices I wanted disabled. So there remains phyint igb1.1005 and phyint igb1.1010 ( there is no 1006 and 1009 VLAN)

I copied pimd.conf to

/var/etc

and started pimd with

 pimd -d -c /var/etc/pimd.conf

I hope it helps, thanks in advance for your time

Cheers Qinn

Update....I was far too quick in my judgement, after say 25 sec it worked . Pimd did it, with the above conf, but now I would like to know why, for instance what I don't understand is why don't I have to define an up- or downstream. Could you give me some insight how and why this works.
