Multicast configuration driving me nuts

Hi guys,
we`ve got Philips TVs installed for streaming servics in a hospital but unfortunately I´m not the specialist for MC. Maybe someone can assist me :)

I´ve a created a Vlan 422 for Philips TVs. The Vlan 422 has got a an IP address (10.128.44.1/23) on my 6900 core switch. All TVs are receiving DHCP address from a DHCP server. (range = 10.128.44.10-250). VLAN 422 is also configured on both 6560 switches and is tagged to core.

Stream Server ---------> 6560 ----------------> 6900 --------->6560 -------- Philips TV

On 6900 I´ve done the following configuration
ip multicast admin-state enable
ip multicast vlan 422 admin-state enable
ip multicast vlan 422 querying enable
ip multicast vlan 422 spoofing enable
ip multicast vlan 422 zapping enable
ip multicast vlan 422 querier-forwarding enable
ip multicast vlan 422 flood-unknown enable

On both 6560 I´ve configured:
ip multicast admin-state enable
ip multicast vlan 422 admin-state enable
ip multicast vlan 422 querying enable
ip multicast vlan 422 spoofing enable
ip multicast vlan 422 querier-forwarding enable

But I do not receive any TV channel from Stream server, only a few undefined pictures

When I try "sh ip multicast forward" on core switch is does not show me any entry, also when I try "show ip multcast group"

What is wrong in my configuration?

Thanks a lot for any assistance
Thomas
