AppleTV Plugin not finding any devices

[autolog]

Hi Karl,
V 1.1.14 still can't import the pyatv module and I can't see it included in the plugin contents; Is it meant to be?

Any change in error message?

.. and if you like we can do an online session.
If you have anydesk installed we can easily do it.

I ran into trouble trying to get the plugin working on an M1 (Silicon Chip) Mac. The problem was with the pyatv & cryptography libraries. To solve:
I had to upgrade to python 3.9 and upgrade pip3 to the latest version (As of now Pip3.9).
Then I created a new terminal app to run in rosetta Mode(right click and duplicate Terminal in the Finder, rename to RosettaTerminal, right click get info, and check option to "Open using Rosetta").

Install anaconda 3.9 through their website. https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html

Launch Rosetta Terminal
Finally install cryptography in the rosetta terminal using
python3.9 -m pip install --upgrade --no-use-pep517 cryptography
and then
pip3.9 install pyatv

Once this was done, I changed the python path in the plugin configuration to my python3.9 install location and my Apple TVs connected.

Tested successfully. This issue has been resolved for me.

Glad to hear.

Glad you got it working.

I will bow out now as I don't need to use the plugin and so can uninstall it.
Having got my system on standard (Apple) python versions, I don't want to disturb it at the moment.
