WDR4300 latest firmware - IPTV trouble

Region : Australia
Model : TL-WDR4300
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : 130617
ISP : TPG
Hi,
I decided to update my router firmware to the latest version 141113 in an attempt to improve its stability - need to restart it once a month to gain Internet speed back.
With the latest firmware my IPTV subscribed service stated giving me problems - constant freezes for few seconds but often enough to annoy everyone around.
The service I use requires port forwarding and port trigger for UDP protocol activated. Without the port triggering I have exactly the same problems as I had with the latest firmware (obviously all the ports were configured).
Once I rolled back to my previous firmware v.130617 with the same ports the problems stopped.
I am not sure what is it but it sounds there was a change introduced in the latest firmware affecting the functionality.

Only subscribed channels would freeze as they go smooth only when I use UDP protocol. I disable all other protocols except the UDP and use ports 554-561 (WMP) with triggering by 554 port. (I know the service provider still uses ancient technology).
All other video streams like youtube etc which don't require any tweaking work great.

Did try DMZ?
you used vertual server for UDP(554-561),but the freezing problem is still there??
It seems that the port for multicast is not enough,so try DMZ.

Yes, that was my point/question/comment. Something had changed from the old firmware to the new one. I didn't want to try DMZ option as if it even worked I wouldn't be using it.
The main reason is I have two HTPCs in my household using the same service and DMZ allows for one IP address only.
IGMP Proxy enabled?
Yes, it is enabled. As I mentioned in my OP the router was configured absolutely identical when I tried the new firmware.
The only thing I didn't try - was turning off the Hardware NAT.

If DMZ works, maybe ports you forwarded are not quite correct. Based on this assumption, it deserves to try DMZ.
You can also try disable hardware NAT. If it won't help, you can enable it again.

I don't really have problems with the previous firmware. Just wanted to see if the new version going to give me some better stability.
I was hopping TP-Link will pick up the story and try to fix the issue with the new firmware.
So basically, I am not looking for a way I can cheat the system in order to have the port forwarding work. Not interested in using DMZ or switching hardware NAT off. Everything is good with older firmware. I will upgrade the firmware only if I see TP-Link released the fix.
