The AirPlay device 'xxx' failed to activate #1147

Getting the error The AirPlay device 'xxx' failed to activate. I have Forked-Daapd running on another computer (pi) and it is running there just fine. Trying to install on a Unbuntu computer and it won't connect to any of the speakers. I get the following errors regardless of which speaker I try to connect to.

This might be because you have a firewall blocking incoming connections (the speaker will try to make a connection to forked-daapd). Try "sudo ufw disable".

Thank you so much that did the trick. Read more about issues with UFW and noticed that you can't just allow a particular port. I'll just add the ip addresses of my airplay devices to UFW.
