Hybrid 6500 with HSRP and Multicast

I am running into an issue with multicast and HSRP on a hybrid 6500. The 6500 has redundancy implemented and there is a primary and alternate ip address required for each interface. Unicast routing is using a both the primary and alternate ip address to get to different destinations. In some cases if there are two different ip addresses on the 6500 each will use a different IP as the next hop. I believe because of this I am getting RPF failures. I tried adding adding static mroutes but this does not seem to help. I was able to associate with the RP via autorp but when i do a ping test using the ip igmp join-group that's when i am seeing this issue.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

HTH.

Q. Can I use Hot Standby Router Protocol for Multicast?

A. Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) is designed for host in last hop networks, in order to have a failover for Unicast routing. It is not generally recommended to use HSRP for IP multicast routing.
