Hey,

I’m using node red official docker image. When I try to pair my Apple TV 4K I’m getting just an error “ No devices retrieved, check your Apple TVs connection settings”. ATV is Running. I have no clue how to debug that.

Greetings

Is there a way of installing this to work with node-red on Windows?

sending "skipForward" msg.payload to Apple TV out node with pyatv backend. I get this error:

Error: Unsupported key value skip_forward!

When using the "VolumeUp" or "VolumeDown" commands, it returns an error -

Error: Unable to execute request 1L: /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pyatv/scripts/atvscript.py:313: DeprecationWarning: Call to deprecated function volume_down.
  await getattr(atv.remote_control, args.command)()

Hi,
analogous to the recommended docker installation I installed pyatv in an exclusive proxmox container without any virtual environment. Node Red is running in a different container.
atvscript is in /usr/local/bin. What should I enter in the field path of the OUT configuration node?
Or do I have to install pyatv in the same container in which Nodered is running?
Thank you for any help1

Following the RFE to allow IPs/IDs to be manually specified #9 , the launch_app parameter no longer works (but same worked in 0.5.0):

when sending msg.payload set to launch_app=com.netflix.Netflix

debug output
Error: Command failed: atvremote --airplay-credentials abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz launch_app=com.netflix.Netflix
Scan Results
[...]

From the debug message, it would appear that the command isn't passing the actual device.

Sending a simple command, like "play" and "pause" continues to work fine.

Great node! Thank you! Finally, something that works in Node Red and no need to use HomeAssistant to get ATV status.
However, I have a request, in HA ATV integration can distinguish between play, pause or idle. It would be great to have this here as well. Idle and playing is implemented already (with isPlaying being true or false), but paused is not.
And in my view it rather important since I e.g do not want to turn on the lights full for a short break but only if I stopped the movie, or when it's totally finished.

Hi,

I’m using node red official docker image. When I try to pair my Apple TV 4K I’m getting just an error “ No devices retrieved, check your Apple TVs connection settings”. ATV is Running.

I am using below command

sudo docker run -it --net=host -v node_red_data:/data --name nodered5 nodered/node-red still not able to recognise

My Apple TV shows up in the list but when I click Initiate Connection, nothing appears on the Apple TV so I can't go any further.

Any help appreciated.

tvOS 15.0

Hi @twocolors ,

is it possible to get the atv status also?
If i install this on my homebridge i get status of the atv over motion sensor. So if i wake up my atv by the remote control or by my iphone, the status switch from off to on.

Right now i installed this on my Node-Red Server and can catch up the paused or playing status. So the problem is, that if i wake up my atv it does not regognize is until i switch to an App and let this play something. So the service works a little drifferent from the homebridge plugin.

It would be great to get a status if the atv is in sleep mode, so the tv is off (by HDMI-CEC) or the atv is awake and wait for an app to start and the tv is on (by HDMI-CEC)

I found the "powerState", but most of the time i get back an "null" status. Sometimes i could catch an "on" status.
Don't know why, but if i put a debug node behind, push on Deploy and i get a lot of payloads at one moment.

Thank you for your work

Can the reboot command that you can get by long-pressing menu and home on the apple remote be added?
Would be really useful! Many thanks!

Due to networking issues, the pyatv scan isn't finding all my devices, but it can see them when specifying the IP address.

When creating a note in the atvs-config node panel, one is limited to what the scan turns up.

I'd like a way to be able to manually specify an IP address.

I'm trying to install this to my raspberry Pi and got next error.

Hi

I just installed the node and the pyatv on my raspberry.
My Raspberry and Apple TV is on different LANs but the lan allows crostalk.

This:

$ atvremote --id 00:11:22:33:44:54 --protocol companion pair
$ atvremote --id 00:11:22:33:44:54 --protocol airplay pair

Doesn't work.

I just get:
2022-04-23 20:30:45 ERROR [pyatv.scripts.atvremote]: Could not find any Apple TV on current network

Searching in the node finds the Apple TV, but when I try to inject any payload I just get this:

Error: Got pyatv Error: power_state is not supported

What am I missing?

Hey there. Great node, simple to use, however i am having issues with the "up" command, and only that command. All other inputs work as expected. Have you experienced this behavior previously?
