Fatal error while talking to Apple TV

[sidharthb0]

Hey Grover,

Thanks for this plugin! I've seen some really great implementations made possible due to this and I'm finally getting the chance to try it out for myself.

I followed the guide and got everything up as expected, until I restarted homebridge after adding the pairing and serviceName. I was hit with this error:

[2018-9-15 20:22:30] [DACP] Connecting to AppleTV (192.168.1.177:3689) [2018-9-15 20:22:30] [DACP] Creating status connection to 192.168.1.177:3689 Established connection to 192.168.1.177:3689 with session ID 1636090795 Skipping '�' - don't know how to parse. length=0 Skipping '�=�' - don't know how to parse. length=1259258416 [2018-9-15 20:22:30] [DACP] Fatal error while talking to AppleTV: [2018-9-15 20:22:30] [DACP] [2018-9-15 20:22:30] [DACP] Error: Error: Missing server info response container at _withConnection (/homebridge/node_modules/homebridge-dacp/src/dacp/DacpClient.js:33:15) at <anonymous> at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:188:7) [2018-9-15 20:22:30] [DACP] [2018-9-15 20:22:30] [DACP] Attempting to reconnect to AppleTV in 204.8 seconds.

This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). (rejection id: 11)

Any idea what could be causing this? Side note: I'm using an Apple TV 2

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers

I Do have this:

0|homebridge | { IllegalStateError: Backoff in progress. 0|homebridge | at Backoff.backoff (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-dacp/node_modules/backoff/lib/backoff.js:38:13) 0|homebridge | at _dacpClient.connect.then.catch.error (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-dacp/src/DacpAccessory.js:243:23) 0|homebridge | at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7) message: 'Backoff in progress.' }

Did anyone get this working? Seeing the same issue as above with an Apple TV 3rd Gen...
