[SOLVED] Help with 'igmpproxy' errors please!

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi All,

I have a WRT1900AC v1 flashed with @davidc502 latest build. It is a DHCP client behind a Nighthawk R8000 running standard LEDE version 17.01.04.

While reviewing my syslog file earlier, I found some log entries containing the following:

user.err igmpproxy[5135]: MC-Router API already in use; Errno(98): Address in use
user.err igmpproxy[5136]: MC-Router API already in use; Errno(98): Address in use
user.err igmpproxy[5137]: MC-Router API already in use; Errno(98): Address in use
user.err igmpproxy[5138]: MC-Router API already in use; Errno(98): Address in use
user.err igmpproxy[5139]: MC-Router API already in use; Errno(98): Address in use
daemon.info procd: Instance igmpproxy::instance1 s in a crash loop 6 crashes, 0 seconds since last crash

Looking at the entries, the errors have something to do with igmpproxy but due to my lack of experience with the firmware, I am not sure what this actually is so and am hoping someone can help me identify what is causing the errors.

Thanks in advance.

If you aren't using IPTV and have no need for the service you can uninstall igmpproxy and it won't log anymore.

Please provide a copy of your /etc/config/igmpproxy file.

igmpproxy isn't installed by default in OpenWRT. If you for some reason you installed it and it's in fact unneeded, you should follow @davidc502's advise:

Thanks guys - Disabling igmpproxy has fixed it. No more errors :slight_smile:

I get the same error from the last davidc502 build (r6952) and the one before (r6868). Prior builds did not have this error.

I do use IPTV through a satellite STB but do not know if I need igmpproxy. Will disable and see but it would be nice to have davidc502 build work as-is.

@davidc502??

+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Edit: Disabled igmpproxy via GUI in Startup menu and rebooted. My IPTV seems to work OK and no igmpproxy error.

What do I need igmpproxy for anyways??
