Sorry for the double post...

I followed the traces of joachim nilsson and found many useful 
information on his website/blog. (Try google with 'multicast 
site:https://troglobit.com/', i.e. https://troglobit.com/howto/multicast/)

I also found that he has updated and bumped to v4.0 of mrouted during 
covid-lockdown times after 10! years after the release of 3.9, see 
https://www.troglobit.com/projects/mrouted/

So again I would recommend to everyone interested to dig deep on his 
webpage and git repos!
