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?

@Rentable

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!
