Understanding multicasting across VLANs

Hi all!
I have set up Gerbera, a DLNA/UPnP server on my internal server, which
lives in my LAN, and I'm trying to access it from wireless clients, which
lives in a VLAN. It works fine on wired clients in the LAN, but apparently,
the UPnP server is not discoverable by any wireless clients, as none of my
clients find it. UPnP uses the SSDP protocol, which is uses a multicast UDP
on port 1900.
Schematically, my network looks like this: http://dev.kjernsmo.net/

In addition, there is an interface eth2.5 which the Wifi sets up to include
eth2.*
There was a thread some years ago that looks similar, but I couldn't quite
make out what I need to do:

005232.html
Right now, I'm testing with my "VLAN for trusted clients", as it has the
simplest setup:
interface eth2.4 wifitr
policy accept
server multicast accept
client all accept
The "multicast" rule is something I just added, I would have thought it
wouldn't be needed.
It also has
router wifitr2lan inface eth2.4 outface eth1
policy accept
Is there a way to make this work with Firehol alone? Or am I looking at the
wrong problem? Are there deeper problems around allowing multicasts across
subnets that I need to look into?
Cheers,
Kjetil
