I have connectivity issues with multicast when I try to use chromecast and spotify. I have enabled multicast replication and configured per guide:
https://extremeportal.force.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000074801

Chromecast problem is with that cannot communicate it with android phone.
Spotify problem is that cannot control spotify at amplifier from laptop. Something to do with multicast.

My test setup is one 3805i AP and V2110 controler at other location. So traffic is bridged@AP. Version 09.21.02.0014. Traffic goes inside one AP. No problems if traffic goes between wired and wireless.

No problems if I use some bulk home AP. I have not filtered any traffic. All traffic should pass. Multicast bridging enabled with 0.0.0.0/0. Issue did exist also with couple older software releases.

Any clues where to check? This should be possible as this works with bulk no name AP, but not with identifi.

Hello Extreme Networks Community,

It sounds like you're experiencing issues with multicast traffic on your WLAN setup, particularly affecting Chromecast and Spotify. The Chromecast problem appears to be related to communication with your Android phone, while the Spotify issue involves controlling the amplifier from your laptop. Given your setup, with a 3805i AP and a V2110 controller bridging traffic at the AP, it seems the multicast traffic isn't being handled effectively when contained within a single AP, although it works fine between wired and wireless connections. To resolve these issues, you might want to explore more robust network configurations or firmware updates. Additionally, for a smoother Spotify experience, consider using the Spotify Unlimited Skips APK, which can offer enhanced functionality and control over your music playback.

Good Luck!!

Hi

Yes, I have checked that post.

I have been wondering this issue for a while. If the traffic goes between wireless and wired using Identifi AP things work just fine.

Hello Esa,

have checked this post https://community.extremenetworks.com/extreme/topics/chromecast-not-streaming-over-wireless

if its helpful for you?

Bulk aps are not compareable to enterprise aps, the default multicast handling is very different.
