udm-iptv VS unifios-utilities

There’s a few guides out there for different ways iptv works. This might be relevant. https://github.com/fabianishere/udm-iptv

You should only need IGMP Proxy for IPTV, as far as i'm aware. I have a UDM Base, but similar to the UDR, IGMP Proxy is not enabled, however this guide should tell you all you need to set it up - https://github.com/fabianishere/udm-iptv

I just purchased the unifi express and I have been researching its capabilities and more specifically ad blocking functionality.

Can I safely assume that these options will be available to the unifi express?

https://github.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities <- this cannot be more simple to digest. Stop spreading FUD (and learn to code if you still don't understand how Github works and what is linked)

Install on boot script: https://github.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities/tree/main/on-boot-script

Not natively but they run dnsmasq so you can use unifios-utilities with an on-boot-script to modify dnsmasq’s config and add whatever records you need, including wildcard
