I had read that article and enabled the helper through the GUI, and I wasn't able to multicast VLC. I followed your instructions and its now working - strange (but happy)!
My next question is, how can I multicast from the LAN of the BaseBox5 (192.168.15.0/24), to the WLAN clients (192.168.25.0/24). I have read
Mike Thanks, I have got the multicasting between WIFI VLC server and WIFI VLC client working. Enabling the helper makes the video quality much better. I have now been trying to get it to go from wired to wireless or wireless to wired y using IGMP Proxy. In my first test I setup ether1 as the upstream, and wlan1 as downstream: [admin@MikroTik] > /routing igmp-proxy interface print Flags: X - disabled, I - inactive, D - dynamic, U - upstream # INTERFACE THRESHOLD 0 U ether1 1 1 all 1 2 wlan1 1 3 D <pptp-dt-02> 1 4 D <pptp-kds01> 1 5 D <pptp-kds06> 1 6 D <pptp-kds05> 1 [admin@MikroTik] > /routing igmp-proxy mfc print Flags: X - disabled, A - active, D - dynamic # GROUP SOURCE UPSTREAM-INTERFACE ACTIVE-DOWNSTREAM... 0 AD 224.255.1.2 192.168.25.236 ether1 wlan1 1 AD 224.255.1.1 192.168.15.201 ether1 wlan1 192.168.15.201 is the VLC server, and 192.168.25.0/24 are the clients When I try and open VLC on the client I see this come up; but nothing comes up on the screen or on the MFC tab echo: igmp-proxy,debug RECV IGMPv2 membership report from 192.168.25.237 to 224.255.1.1 on wlan1 echo: igmp-proxy,debug joining multicast group 224.255.1.1 on ether1 When I try and connect to VLC over the PPTP (from the wirless device to the Mikrotik), I see the following; but no video: echo: igmp-proxy,debug RECV IGMP leave message from 192.168.15.212 to 224.0.0.2 on <pptp-dt-02> echo: igmp-proxy,debug sending IGMP query to 224.255.1.1 on <pptp-dt-02> Any other suggestions? -----Original Message----- From: Public [mailto:public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au] On Behalf Of Paul Azad Sent: Monday, 14 July 2014 4:25 PM To: MikroTik Australia Public List Subject: Re: [MT-AU Public] Mikrotik Wireless Multicasting Mike Thanks, I have now downloaded it and installed it. Been looking for a simple howto, as the WIKI goes into multiple routers, and I am unsure of what I need to set for just 1 router. -----Original Message----- From: Public [mailto:public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au] On Behalf Of Mike Everest Sent: Monday, 14 July 2014 1:09 PM To: 'MikroTik Australia Public List' Subject: Re: [MT-AU Public] Mikrotik Wireless Multicasting Hi Paul, It should work much the same way. It does require optional multicast package though (find it in 'all_packages.zip' archive at mikrotik.com/download) have you installed it? http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Routing/Multicast Cheers, Mike. that I
would need to enable multicast routing, but the example on that WIKI page is regarding multiple routers. Can you point me to where to look at for this?

OK! I thought it might be that, but couldn't be sure :-}
The issue with multicast across wireless is that mac address in the wireless frame must be set to client mac (by protocol design) so multicast mac address is removed (or something like that)
In order to deal with it, routerOS offers 'multicast helper' - have you enabled it? /int wire set wlan1 multicast-helper=full
Check this out for more info:

Cheers, Mike.

Mike
If I have my 2 devices connected via Ethernet, I can multicast from one to another. When I try and do the same multicast but using wireless, I get no video showing up on the client machine. I also get no VLC showing up on the client when I go from the server connected to the MK through Ethernet, and the client connected via wireless.
Hope this makes more sense.
Thanks
