Description of Issue

When i try to launch music to the HomePods Mini using Roon, it often fails to start the music, play button is switched but the time count stays at 0:00.

And for some reason sometimes one HomePod Mini works and another at the same time no … It’s not always the same that is not working.

No problem to use them all with Airplay directly from the iphone (no Roon).

It seems like since i autorised a lot of ports on the ufw firewall it works better …
It would have been great that the effective required ports had been listed in the Roon manual for linux.
