[firewalld] Allowing UPNP traffic on 1900/UDP

Hello everybody,
I was interested in switching from ufw to firewalld (since the last one is integrated well with NetworkManager) and I just wished to add the rules I already had to the new firewall helper...
Actually, I had lots of troubles in the past with ufw because of allowing UPNP discovery, that I got working with this rule:

sudo ufw status
Status: active

To                         Action      From
--                         ------      ----
... rules ...
Anywhere                   ALLOW       1900/udp
... rules ...

From firewall-config I found nothing up to now that allow me to make this setup...
Any suggestion for writing this rule for firewalld?

Hello ItachiSama.

I, too, would like to upvote your question. Presently, at where I am, there are two Arch Linuxes (one x86_64 and the other a Raspberry 2 Arch) and also another Raspberry Pi presently with a Raspbian jessie.
I can only see the upnp server from the Raspbian. None of the Arches can see the other's upnp server, the same applying for the Raspbian (it cannot see any of the arches upnp server)

Although I understand that UPnP can pose a great security threat, can anyone please help on this issue?

Thanks in advance
