Why does IPTV multicast disappear after a while?
Created a radio bridge from: SXT HG5 (RBSXTG-5HPnD-HGr2) and Light Head Grid (LHG 5)
Mode - transparent bridge. At one end it is connected to the output of the FTTB switch port, at the other end - an IPTV set-top box from Rostelecom.
When you connect the set-top box directly to the port - it shows flawlessly, when using the radio bridge - the broadcast stops after about 1-3 minutes, the picture freezes.
If you use rewind (as I understand it, the mode changes to unicast and the stream format changes to HLS), - rewind a little back, then everything works fine.
I enclose the configuration, the setting is minimal, enabled multicast-helper=full
I did not install IGMP proxy, because a transparent bridge is required. At the other end is a camera (also from Rostelecom) and sends the flow in the opposite direction. Camera works.
As I understand it, the set-top box should periodically send some kind of packet to the broadcast server, that it is live and the channel is being watched, but how to do this?

Decided to make things easier. I took a Mikrotik haplite, reset the configuration, installed ports 3 and 4 in the bridge. Port 3 inserted into the FTTB switch, port 4 - into the set-top box. The picture and the dump are still the same, the picture gets up in about a minute. After switching channels, the broadcast continues safely.
I re-read "Networks for the smallest. Part nine. Multicast" on Habré. I found an article with information that is not in "networks for small ones" - "Optimizing the transmission of multicast traffic on a local network using IGMP snooping" on the same hub.
Disabled IGMP snooping, assigned bridge1 mac address manually (non-existent), disabled STP, and in the settings of all ports in the bridge, unchecked the boxes as in the screenshot. Everything worked.
Thank you all for participating!
