Re: Iptv Set Top Box
Elpidio Heart
Hello
I am new to fortinet and recently placed a fortinet device in my home network. It is a very simple setup to get me started and try more ambitious things later. The ISP router is having the WAN connection to the internet and the LAN side connects to the fortinet. All home devices are then connected to the LAN of the fortinet (no DMZ or other zones setup for now). With a simple allow for lan to wan rule in the firewall, all devices are able to communicate with the internet.
However, the IPTV box has stopped working, i am guessing here there is something to do with multicast that is getting blocked here. If I remove the fortinet between the home network and the ISP router, IPTV box works normally and all the channels can be viewed but as soon as the fortinet is brought back in it stops working.
Looking forward to get this to work and appreciate your help.
Hello Vishal
Thanks for sharing the document. I did had a look at this document already and I only applied the first half part of the changes suggested, didnt realise there are 2 steps. I will try the second set of instructions shortly and will try to see if it works.
With the config now added the channels come up with signal but exactly after 5 - 6 seconds the signal drops out and i get a message signal lost and this is happening for all the channels. Below is the config I added
Hey there, I recently stumbled upon your post and thought I might be able to help. I had a similar issue with my Fortinet device and found that it was indeed related to multicast traffic being blocked. I was able to resolve the issue by creating a new firewall policy allowing multicast traffic from the IPTV box. However, if you're still having trouble, I recently found a helpful guide on How To Watch Hulu in Saudi Arabia that has some great tips on resolving IPTV connection issues with Fortinet devices. It might be worth checking out. Hope this helps, and best of luck with your setup! As a side note, I'm new to this forum, so apologies if my response is a bit late.
I had a similar problem where my IPTV box wouldn't work with my home network. It's frustrating when technical stuff blocks your TV channels, which happens with specific setups. I tried many things to fix it, but then I realized the service I used was part of the issue.
So, I switched to beste iptv. It's easier to use because they've got a guide that answers all your questions. It helped me set everything up quickly. Since I started using it, I haven't had any problems with my network messing with my IPTV. Everything works smoothly now, and I can watch my shows easily.
Hey folks! I'm diving into Fortinet for my home network and ran into a hiccup with IPTV connectivity. Seems like multicast might be the culprit here. Anyone have experience tweaking Fortigate settings for IPTV compatibility? Any tips would be super helpful! By the way, any recommendations for movies out in theaters right now?

So I originally thought that my ISP was blocking my IPTV service, but when I take my ISPs router out of modem mode and connect to it I can use my IPTV service no problems. When I have it in modem mode and connected through the XR500 then it is completely blocked. IPTV uses port 2086, I've tried forwarding it but this doesn't seem to work. Any ideas how I might get this working through the xr500?
Yes you can set differing external & internal port ranges. As with above if that doesn't work disabling QoS may work and if it does I would re-enable it and disable DumaOS Classified Games and see if it still works.
I think I already have QoS off. When netflix is streaming, my wifi on mobile is awful. I basically turned everything off, although I think actually what made it better was one of the settings in wifi setup to do with smart handling of wifi data or something. Now netflix streams with no issue and wifi on mobile is quick. Still can't connect to IPTV though. It does work for some IPTV channels on a nother service, they seem to be mainly US channels.
Don't know if this sheds any light on the situation, but if I start streaming on mobile data, then turn wifi on, it continues to stream through wifi. Maybe it is an authentication issue that doesn't occur on wifi?
I could not watch IPTV (Vodafone Spain) with XR500 and XR700, all attempts for iptv and ip voice with the valid configuration were a failure. The only thing that works by setting the operator's VLAN / Bridge was the internet connection.
I think it's a firmware problem, the configuration for operators IPTV in manual mode is basic.
I have an Asus RT-AX88U configured and working IPTV, internet data and IP voice for vodafone TV Spain and in less than 10 minutes everything was working perfectly ....... with XR500 and XR700 I was losing more than 10 hours and only I run data from the internet in the ports and in the deco but nothing from IPTV channels and IP voice.
I would like to put the Netgear as the main one but I can't do without TV and phone calls ... for the moment my main router is Asus.
Well you could give it maximum bandwidth on the flower. By the sounds of it I don't think it will help though. It sounds like there's some incompatibility between your TV and QoS. Maybe if there was a way to make a device bypass QoS.

Vader streams is shut down look on YouTube (I had to google what Vader streams even was) also its pirated material so this isn't something to be talked about on this forum. I will also say I have never used or would condone the use of such services.
The router supports as many devices as you need. We can't help you with installing specific apps on your devices though as we didn't make those devices. Also as @Killhippie says, that specific app is legally pretty dodgy so we don't want anything to do with it.
We assume that these are 100% legal due to the fact that they have been approved to be in these popular app stores. Both Amazon and Google would probably be liable for copyright infringement if they allowed illegal IPTV services.
As of now, subscribers of the verified services are paying almost as much as they would have through the traditional cable/satellite packages. The big names in the business have basically moved their service over to the Internet and charge the same!
Because of the uncertainty of these providers, TROYPOINT suggests paying for IPTV services on a month-to-month time frame. That way, if your provider goes offline or you find a better service, you are not locked in.
Another thing to consider when choosing a service is the number of connections it offers. Sometimes, users can view IPTV on up to five devices simultaneously, while others allow only one.
TROYPOINT does not and will never accept any type of advertising/affiliate revenue from Unverified IPTV Services. TROYPOINT does not own or operate any IPTV service nor does it act as a reseller for any companies either.
For only $3 you can get a 3-day trial that includes all streaming provided with the service. There is also a lifetime subscription option available for those looking to purchase long-term. (We do not recommend this)
Apollo Group TV is one of the most popular IPTV services available today. It continues to be a top-tier option for those looking to watch both live content as well as VOD. Many prefer Apollo for the standalone APK it provides to everyone that registers for service.
This IPTV provider includes over 1,000 HD channels in various categories such as news, sports, entertainment, kids, and more. The best part about Apollo Group TV is each IPTV subscription comes with five connections.
If you are looking for a massive library of content, 4K Live is a fabulous choice with over 15,000 live channels as well as over 100,000 VOD titles which includes both Movies and TV Shows in high definition.
The number of devices that you can use simultaneously on an IPTV service. For example, if your subscription comes with three connections, you can use their service on up to 3 devices at the same time.
Another important topic to mention is live TV (IPTV) players. An IPTV player is an application that allows you to input any M3U URL or Xtream Codes login from a live TV service for an improved streaming experience.
TROYPOINT does not verify whether or not IPTV services carry the proper licensing for the content that they broadcast. The end-user shall be solely liable for any application or service used on their streaming devices.
