Can't play multicast using VLC application on Amazon Fire TV settop box I have downloaded the VLC application to my Amazon Fire TV settop box. I want to use the VLC application to play a multicast video that is streaming on my LAN but it does not play.

I have noticed that-


A wireshark capture does not show any IGMP messages from the Amazon Fire TV settop's IP address
If I remove the routers between the Amazon Fire TV settop and the streamer the video does play


I'm not sure if the problem is with VLC or with the Amazon Fire TV kernel. Any ideas would be appreciated.
The FireTV box does not support IP multicast as the config flag CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST is not set.

However, the FireTV Stick do support it!

CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=y
