Did you enable multicast snooping using the database? The documentation
says:
Multicast Snooping Configuration:
Multicast snooping (RFC 4541) monitors the Internet Group Management
Protocol (IGMP) traffic between hosts and multicast routers. The
switch uses what IGMP snooping learns to forward multicast traffic only
to interfaces that are connected to interested receivers. Currently it
supports IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 protocols.
mcast_snooping_enable: boolean
Enable multicast snooping on the bridge. For now, the default is
disabled.
