Discussion:
fedora 20 firewalld multicast DLNA

Setting up a media server on a Fedora 20 box.
It must have reception of multicast messages enabled.
If I do a 'iptables -F' blowing away the firewall, then
the media server sees the smart tv and the smart tv sees the media server.
Given the default firewall that comes with Fedora 20 and firewalld,
how do I add configuration info to it so that multicast messages are
enabled?
This is a pretty general "how to configure firewalld so that Fedora can be
used as a DLNA media server" question.

Thanks

I'm using rygel with firewalld using a static port in the rygel.conf file.

1) cp /etc/rygel.conf ~/.config/rygel.conf for the user that will run the
DLNA server
2) edit ~/.config/rygel.conf and change line port=0 to some high numbered
port like 55555
3) Set firewalld to allow 55555/tcp and 1900/udp using the following
commands:
firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=55555/tcp
firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=1900/udp

Then start rygel.
