Summary0008160: Opening a video or project with video freezes if outgoing traffic blocking is enabled
DescriptionIf you try to add a video to the project, or open a project in which the video has already been added, then Ardour will freeze on start if outgoing traffic blocking using the iptables firewall is enabled.
Block traffic rule:
iptables -I OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner your_user_name -j DROP

This is not a new bug. The same thing happened in Ardour 5.12 as well as on other distributions: Xubuntu and Kubuntu 18, KXstudio 14, Xubuntu 19.
Additional InformationIt is very annoying to constantly turn off the firewall and network connection.

Ardour communicates with the video-monitor and video-timeline tools on localhost (127.0.0.1) and requires communication to work.

This is by design and documented.

Thank you so much for your help!
added the rule to the beginning:
-A OUTPUT -d 127.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT
And now everything works :)

PS: maybe someone else will come in handy: the rule allowing traffic to the localhost should be created before the prohibiting rule.
