Apple TV On HassOS

Great to hear! I do not have plans regarding UI, that is something I will leave to other card makers.

when will the stable version be released? maybe as an already visible ui integration?

Hopefully soon, it’s a big PR so it takes a lot of time to get it through. But within the next few releases I hope.

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but after upgrading to 0.110.x a couple of log entries show up which I’m sure are known, but just in case:

RemoteDevice is deprecated, modify AppleTVRemote to extend RemoteEntity
MediaPlayerDevice is deprecated, modify AppleTvDevice to extend MediaPlayerEntity

Hi,
I have a fresh install of HassOS; I tried to install the beta component via HACS, but I can’t find it in the integrations. Docs say I have to go to HACS settings tab and add the github url repo, but there is no HACS settings button. Any idea?
Also, there is no service for apple_tv scan (but I guess it comes with the component)

I think the custom repositories moved to HACS -> Integrations -> Three dots in top right corner -> Custom repositories. You don’t have to care about any services anymore (that is old and deprecated), just add a new device from the integration page.

Waw, that was a fast and efficient answer, thank you very much!

Will this become an official component at some point?

postlund · July 24, 2020, 4:52am

Yes, it will.

jjross · July 24, 2020, 5:55pm

Awesome. How mature is it? I just want to have playback status for my ATV (don’t need to control it).

Fruktsallad · August 12, 2020, 7:02pm

I’m wondering too. Seems to me it’s ready to go official - what’s the hold-up?

postlund · August 12, 2020, 7:51pm

Working on it, smoking out a few bugs (and took some vacation time from pyatv). But I’m gonna try to get things moving within the next few days.

Fruktsallad · August 12, 2020, 9:41pm

Sounds great, looking forward to it!

jjross · August 13, 2020, 6:19am

Awesome. Thank you.

Hi guys - is there any way to launch a specific app using one of the remote or media player commands?

postlund · August 15, 2020, 7:53pm

Only by blindly navigating the menus using the remote. Launching apps like the a shortcuts app uses another protocol that I haven’t reversed completely yet.

davenaum · August 16, 2020, 3:08pm

Thanks @postlund. I think that if I strategically place my apps I can navigate using the directional remote actions. Should get the job done.

postlund · August 16, 2020, 4:43pm

Yeah, I know some people have managed to get that to work. So should be possible.
