Good afternoon all
I am running into a -mild- issue with the IPTV settings on my router (please do not yawn).
As Googling away yielded no meaningful result, and my new AI best buddy showed serious limitations, I thought I'd raised the issue with this learned community.
'Movistar Triple VLAN' is one of the preset configurations available under the LAN/IPTV tab of the GUI.
Since the name closely matches that of my ISP, it has been my setting of choice, and I am grateful it has served me well (Internet and TV, I do not use VoIP).
Still, one little bit of the IPTV service is failing me: accessing the replay of programs I have previously recorded.
Additional information:
-It appears the recordings live in a different place (cloud) than the live broadcasts, and that in order to reach them the set-top box needs to access the wider internet. Since it is plugged in a LAN port specifically tagged by the IPTV configurator, could it be prevented to do so?
-I could, with previous FW releases, access recordings seamlessly. However, I do not remember when: was it with a previous Asus router, or was it when the three VLANs had to be configured manually, without the drop down ISP menu?
-It seems (I wouldn't bet the router on it) that IGMP proxy must be enabled in my case, for proper IPTV configuration. But as I have elsewhere on the forum, that there may be an 'architecture' limitation of the router preventing IGMP to 'coexist' with IPTV. If that were the case, could this be overcome with a couple of judicious script(s)?
I appreciate my use case is very particular (and my annoyance limited) but on the off-chance a reader had experienced the same issue, and managed to solve it, I would be keen to hear from them.
Thank you, as always.
