tvos 13 breaks remote's homekit support? #71

tvtechdir · 2019-09-24T22:06:38Z

Looks like tvos13 breaks the remote. It does not show up in Homekit to add as an accessory, neither as a device in the Apple TV to pair.

I am running oznu-hombridge in a Synology Docker.

The plugin itself seems configured correctly. Logs do not throw errors, Homekit doesn't see it.

My config is as follows:

  {
    "platform": "DACP",
    "devices": [
      {
        "name": "AppleTV",
        "features": {
          "no-volume-controls": true,
          "input-controls": true,
          "alternate-playpause-switch": true
        }
      }
    ]
  }

Log indicates no problems with the configuration of the plugin itself. The remote does not show up to pair in the ATV.

-edit-

I’ve since rolled back to 12.4.1. Everything is working as it should.

Looks like it.

galbartal · 2019-09-28T22:31:46Z

Doesn't work for me either....

dior4ik · 2019-09-30T15:25:44Z

the same problem. is this project alive?

ElectroGloop · 2019-10-01T12:34:31Z

I couldn't find much info about it online, but from what I understand DACP support has been removed in tvOS 13.

tvtechdir · 2019-10-01T14:29:21Z

I couldn't find much info about it online, but from what I understand DACP support has been removed in tvOS 13.

If that's the case it's a big loss for Apple. I will not upgrade software or hardware any further.

ElectroGloop · 2019-10-02T21:08:58Z

You can use the newer 'Media Remote' protocol to communicate with the Apple TV.

There is an interesting post about using this protocol with Apple TV written by Evan Coleman:
https://medium.com/@evancoleman/apple-tv-meet-my-lights-dissecting-the-media-remote-protocol-d07d1909ad82

He has even created a homebridge plugin here

I have just set this up on my homebridge and can confirm it is working perfectly with tvOS 13

pax0707 · 2019-10-02T21:48:31Z

Nice.
Will give this a go.

tvtechdir · 2019-10-02T22:03:16Z

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't get that homebridge plug in to install on my NAS. It errors out every time. Heading over to submit logs.

@ElectroGloop how did you manage to get this plug in installed? i have had NO luck whatsoever. the Node-Appletv repo and the Homebridge Theater Mode repos refuse to install on my mac mini.

tvtechdir · 2019-10-03T13:15:13Z

@PaRkThEcAr @ElectroGloop, same here which was my primary reason for using DACP. I am on a Synology NAS 1018+ running oznu-homebridge in Docker.

ElectroGloop · 2019-10-03T13:38:10Z

To be honest I did have a bit of trouble getting it to run, but I thought that was down to my setup more than anything.
I ended up having to manually recompile the sodium package it relies on.
What errors are you getting?

This is different to the error I was getting.
It might be worth checking out one of the forks as they claim to fix sodium dependencies.

PaRkThEcAr · 2019-10-09T15:25:12Z

Well, I have tried several forks that claim to solve sodium dependancies. Most of them dont actually say anything or have an “issues” tab that I can reference. But when I try to install globally, it errors out. Installing non globally installs, but the CLI does not function for node-appletv. The same is true of home bridge theater mode.
