I am running HA Green, which discovers my ATV (Apple TV gen3) and invites me to install the Apple TV integration. But when I click submit (after giving it the IP address) it just churns for 2-3 min (does not ask for any PINs) and spits out a ‘Unexpected Error’. The ‘discovered’ window then disappears, only to reappear next time I open HA, and the same process repeats (8 or 10 times now!)
I have installed the Homebridge integration, which makes no difference.
The HA Green and Apple TV are both attached by ethernet (via a network switch) to the same router; and the initial integration window is giving the correct name for my apple TV, so clearly has some connection to it.
Any thoughts on how I can get this integration to work?
Any solution here? I have the same issue. New to HA.

OK - found the logs (HA> Settings > System > Logs). Below is the only one which includes the phrase ‘apple_tv’, so I presume it’s the relevant one. Does that (and Positiveground’s who says s/he has a similar problem) give you any insight into what the problem may be:

Thank you for the suggestion. I am not familiar with the GitHub website and only first heard of it in this HA forum. I have looked at it briefly, and it seems to be a very technical resource for IT professionals (which I am most assuredly not). I presume that there is no ‘beginners’ section to GitHub?
However, I am happy to report that I have now been able to install the AppleTV integration - more by luck than skill I suspect - by installing it using the Home Assistant Companion application on my iPhone, rather than using the HA browser log-in on my laptop (Mac).
@Positiveground - you may wish to try doing this. I have no idea why it worked, but it did for me.
