External integration - Apple TV

Development

Thanks for your feedback. I will look in detail at the access point mode, but from memory I had doubts about my configuration on the impacts it could have.

The version of the integration is the latest 2.0 (ghcr.io/valentinhttr/gladys-apple-tv:2.0.0)

Here are the logs following the new scan, I put everything hoping you see something that impacts mDNS.

valentinhttr, I finally set up my router as an access point after pulling my hair out, but I finally found my Apple TVs. However, I lost some features, I’ll just have to get over it :-).

The Apple TV Free Player is still there, though.

Hi @JKBS64

Sorry, I was AFK this weekend. Thanks for the logs. Perfect if you were able to find a solution with the access point!

For the Apple TV Free Player, your logs show that the library used recognizes your Freebox as an Apple TV 3 via its AirPlay announcements. It therefore passed our filter, then the integration added the prefix « Apple TV » to its name.

I fixed this false positive in version 2.1.0. The integration now accepts the following models, under tvOS 15 or later :

  • Apple TV HD — formerly 4th generation Apple TV ;
  • 1st generation Apple TV 4K ;
  • 2nd generation Apple TV 4K ;
  • 3rd generation Apple TV 4K.

Recognition of future models is also preserved. Older Apple TVs from generations 1, 2, and 3 are excluded, which also removes your Freebox identified as an Apple TV 3.

2.1.0 will be available in the next store update (~10 minutes). If you had already added the Free Player to Gladys, you will need to remove it manually: the update does not remove existing devices.

Thanks for your report!
Can you confirm that it works well?

Hello, everything is great :ok_hand:. Thanks for everything.

Hello everyone :waving_hand:

Version 2.2.0 of the Apple TV integration is available, with an update to SDK 0.15 and a new feature that takes advantage of Gladys 5.2: the Apple TV - Volume widget.

From the dashboard, it allows you to check the volume and open a form to adjust it from 0 to 100 %, pre-filled with the last known level. It is available when your installation allows volume adjustment via the Apple TV.

This widget complements the Playback and Favorites cards. To add it, open the dashboard editor, choose Apple TV - Volume, then select your device.

:warning: This version requires Gladys 5.2.0 minimum.

Hi,

Apparently, I still have logs:

By the way, this also creates logs in Gladys:

Could you look into this as soon as possible, @valentinhttr? :slight_smile:

Hello,

Version 2.3.0 is available: it fixes the repetitive logs related to network errors and Gladys polling timeouts. You can update and let me know if it works for you? :slightly_smiling_face:

Cheers

Thanks, all good on my side :slight_smile:
