Solcon IPTV not working

[JHAvB]

It seems that everything works until the UDM.

Only the IPTV decoder is not coming up automatically on the right network, when I force this it seems that the IPTV decoder is connected to the internet instead of the IPTV network.
I have absolutely no idea what is going wrong. Hopefully someone can help me out.

Internet does not need a VLAN and goes via DHCP
IPTV VLAN 188
Route to 10.0.0.0/8
IP Range 10.232.0.0/16 10.233.0.0/16

15-iptvs.sh:

IPTV_WAN_INTERFACE="eth4"
IPTV_WAN_RANGES="10.252.0.0/16 10.253.0.0/16"
IPTV_WAN_VLAN="188"
IPTV_WAN_DHCP_OPTIONS="-O staticroutes -V IPTV_RG"
IPTV_LAN_INTERFACES="br50"
IPTV_LAN_RANGES=""

if podman container exists iptv; then
podman rm -f iptv
fi
podman run --network=host --privileged
--name iptv -i -d --restart on-failure:5
-e IPTV_WAN_INTERFACE="$IPTV_WAN_INTERFACE"
-e IPTV_WAN_RANGES="$IPTV_WAN_RANGES"
-e IPTV_WAN_VLAN="$IPTV_WAN_VLAN"
-e IPTV_WAN_DHCP_OPTIONS="$IPTV_WAN_DHCP_OPTIONS"
-e IPTV_LAN_INTERFACES="$IPTV_LAN_INTERFACES"
-e IPTV_LAN_RANGES="$IPTV_LAN_RANGES"

Could you clarify what you mean by

Only the IPTV decoder is not coming up automatically on the right network, when I force this it seems that the IPTV decoder is connected to the internet instead of the IPTV network.

Do you mean that the IPTV decoder is not getting an IP address from your IPTV VLAN?

[fabianishere]

It is expected that you still have access to the internet from your IPTV VLAN (or for that matter all your VLANs unless you explicitly disallow it through firewall rules). The container just makes sure that IPTV multicast packets get routed correctly between your receiver and the IPTV network.

[JHAvB]

so basically it runs aground on the boot argument that the IPTV cannot receive

[fabianishere]

It might be that you are missing a NAT/firewall rule. Are you sure the WAN ranges are correct?

See this topic: https://community.ui.com/questions/SOLVED-Solcon-internet-and-IPTV-working-via-Unifi-USG3p-and-replacing-the-Fritzbox-7530/6160468a-1649-416c-9753-b0fe0747f292?page=1

Apparently, the IPTV receiver expects certain DHCP options that are provided by the WAN DHCP server. You’ll need to sniff these values and manually set them for your internal DHCP server.

I received the following from ISP:
you need to instal a route to 10.0.0.0/8 and need to receive an IP via DHCP in range 10.252.0.0/16 or 10.253.0.0/16 based on the vendor-class-identifier: IPTV_RG then it’s possible to use IPTV without the Fritsbox.

I requested the above settings again from my ISP.

Currently, the IPTV-receiver is booted but we the screen remains black. However, it is possible to use the interactive tv.

Thank you very much for your help and at all for this page!!!

Via the link I now find out that Solcon is using the KPN IPTV server. WAN Ranges now set to 213.75.0.0/16 217.166.0.0/16 and now it works.

Only issue I am still running into is that IPTV network is forced to the receiver. Not really a problem but this is something I will look into later.

Again thank you very much
