Alllllmost there...

Thru a bunch of fits and starts, I'm inching closer to getting this to work. Scanning for Devices returns all of the AppleTV devices, both hardware and software. Once scanned, the data is being correctly updated in the Device. So far, so good. However I am unable to actually control the device at all. The ATV hardware is just not responding.

Pretty sure I've installed all the right pieces... Xcode, Python 3, and the special ATV stuff, but just doesn't seem to be working. I haven't edited any of the devices info.. including the overwrite PIN number which is set to the default 1234.

Any ideas or Suggestions?

Can you switch on debug?

So not sure if this is all the info you need. I see nothing in the regular Indigo Log, so found the log in the Libray/ indigo... folder. In plugin config, I checked Threats for listing... Action commandos... Basic... Special debug for development. Let me know if you need others checked.

The plugin did find 3 other devices... one if which is an older ATV, and 2 that are computes, which may explain some of the error messages.

I deleted today's log, then re-started the plug in, then issued a simple toggle command Action Group for the ATV that shows up as Playing. The plugin is populating the indigo device with the right info...

Here's what in the log:

As always, thanks for taking the time to look into this.

How many Apple TV devices do you have?

you can exclude ip numbers from being scanned (eg the .13) in plugin / menu

Karl

I really only have 2 real Apple TV devices... one at 192.168.5 134 and one a 192.168.5. 13. Will work to exclude the others.

Can you power cycle the .13 Apple TV. ?

I power cycled the .13 device, had it playing, but the device still shows as device not found. I do find it curious that it found the 2nd AppleTV and created a "Device" with the right IP address, but now "device_not_found".

Could you delete dev .13. Then switch on debug and then scan for new devices.
And post plugin.log

Also is the network slower to the .13? May be there is a time out?

could you also:
1. open terminal
2. paste:

Code: Select all

python3 '/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 7.5/Plugins/appleTV.indigoPlugin/Contents/Server Plugin/atvscript.py' -s 192.168.5.13 push_updates

(you don't need the path to python when you open a terminal session. python3 should be in PATH)
then change channel on tv switch on / off ... you should see some output like:

Code: Select all
