      Just to be clear 55.125 is the TV here right?

      And is it in someway interactive or more like an advertising screen? It looks for video source and plays it as sooin as it;s powered up?

        55.125 is the video server. https://www.silicondust.com/images/hdhomerun/QS_HDHomeRun_PRIME.pdf

        The TV/client is on a separate subnet.

        https://www.silicondust.com/support/hdhomerun/testfail/upnp_multicast_recv/

        "HDHomeRun Setup triggers the HDHomeRun to send a series of SSDP NOTIFY packets to the 239.255.255.250 multicast group."

          Ah I see. It is the opposite way around to how I would usually expect. OK.

          There have been issues with the IGMP proxy on VLANs in the past but I thought they were mostly resolved.
          Do you see any errors in the system log when you start it?

          You might try stopping the service in the GUI and then starting it in debug mode at the command line:
          igmpproxy -d -vv /var/etc/igmpproxy.conf

          That will give you a lot of output. It will show if the groups are being joined correctly though.

            So I did that. I don't know where it is outputting to but this is what happens when I do a pcap on full for the interface that the server is on.

            10:17:44.128444 00:18:dd:32:28:1b > 01:00:5e:00:00:16, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 60: (tos 0xc0, ttl 1, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto IGMP (2), length 40, options (RA))
    192.168.10.142 > 224.0.0.22: igmp v3 report, 1 group record(s) [gaddr 239.255.255.250 is_ex { }]
10:17:44.377428 00:18:dd:32:28:1b > 01:00:5e:00:00:16, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 60: (tos 0xc0, ttl 1, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto IGMP (2), length 40, options (RA))
    192.168.10.142 > 224.0.0.22: igmp v3 report, 1 group record(s) [gaddr 239.255.255.250 is_ex { }]

            Is the TTL being "1" going to cause an issue with forwarding it to the interface/vlan with the client on it?

              It should be outputting the debug stuff at the command line where you started it. That should tell us if it's doing anything useful at all.

                  @pr3dict said in Another IGMP proxy post:

                  Doesn't look good.

                  So you have a whole number of interfaces besides what you mentioned initially. You should try to get this working just on those interfaces initially before adding anything further.

                    I have a bunch of interfaces but I only have 1 of them listed for downstream and upstream...

                            Ok, so you moved the server from 192.168.55.125? Where is it now exactly?

                              @stephenw10 Yeah sorry about that. The .10 subnet is where a lot of other clients are so while I was testing this I didnt want to have ot keep switching between .55 and .10...

                              The server is now at 192.168.10.142

                                Also if I flip the downstream and upstream interfaces this is the output for that...

                                  Your set up of igmp proxy and firewall rules seem to be the similar to mine. Nothing is blocked in my logs between these subnets and advanced ip options are enabled.on the igmp firewall rules. The guys on the unifi forum have installed and used socat on their edge router to get hdhomerun recognised across subnets.

                                  https://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeRouter/Howto-HDHomerun-discovery-on-different-LAN-segment/m-p/2733241#M246671

                                  I'm watching this thread in the hope you discover an answer that will also help me. If I find a solution to this problem I'll post it here too. Good luck.

                                    Thanks to meckhert on the unifi forum I've now managed to solve my hdhr problem by installing socat on a raspberry-pi that I already had on my private LAN. On the raspberry-pi I created and enabled a simple systemd service for socat so that it auto starts using the command meckhert listed.

                                    192.168.100.17 is the IP of my hdhr on my IoT network.

                                    socathdhr.service:

                                    [Unit]
                                    Description=socat hdhr
                                    After=network.target

                                    [Service]

                                    Restart=on-failure
                                    RestartSec=10

                                    [Install]
                                    WantedBy=multi-user.target

                                    I hope this helps.
