for example on my TV, there is a DLNA Client
For what service - while DLNA makes it easy for grandma - if you know what its wanting to talk to, say plex server or something - just allow that port through your firewall.. Jumping through hoops and punching discovery/multicast holes in your network security because you don't want to open 1 port from a specific client to a specific destination is a going the wrong direction from a security point of view with firewalling and segmentation of your network if you ask me.
If X needs to discover Y to work - I wouldn't trust either of them and would put them on the same network.

There is a multicast bug in the firmware
That TP-Link multicast bug is still around? I had it in an AP I bought 11 years ago, which prevented me from running IPv6 on my guest WiFi. It also affected some switches. I recall when I tried to get it fixed, the support said it worked the way it was supposed to, but I eventually reached 2nd level support, who agreed it was a bug. There never was an update for mine, so I wound up getting a Unifi AC-Lite a couple of years ago.
This is exactly why you should stay away from tp-link, linksys, d-link and the likes.
Firmware updates are scarce - if they even exist.
