[mythtv-users] UPnP and MythTV in Fedora 18 (firewalld problem)

[John Pilkington]

I could watch some kinds of MythTV content via UPnP on my TV with MythTV 
0.26-fixes and Fedora 17.  My firewall rules were set, IIRC, after 
reading the Myth wiki.  http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/UPnP

Yesterday, since F17 had reached EOL, I upgraded to F18.  Mostly it was 
painless, but the TV doesn't see the UPnP server unless I disable 
firewalld.  It seems there may be a problem in setting the rules:

There's a suggested configuration file here, to be placed in 
/etc/firewalld/services/upnp.xml, but it might need tweaking for Myth; 
it hasn't worked for me yet although I probably haven't given it a fair 
trial.  Adding tcp port 6544 and changing the destination to 239.0.0.0/8 
hasn't worked.

Before I plunge into man pages, has anyone got Myth/uPnP working with 
firewalld active?

TIA
