Difficult installing on WIndows 11 #23

Open McMannus85 opened 5 months ago

McMannus85 commented 5 months ago

Tried both 1.1.1 and the beta 1.1.3 and both stall during the waiting five minutes for pyatv install. There is also no log file created. I have tried this on two win 11 computers with the same result.

Thanks!

Hi, if you open Terminal and Command Prompt, what happens when you type "python"? You need to have Python installed and available on the path for this to work.

You can also view the start .bat file under %APPDATA%/ATV Remote. The main file for Windows is called start_server.bat. If you happen to see a file called setting_up_python then that might be the problem, delete that file and try starting start_server.bat and letting it run through the install. It should only have to do this once.

If you modify any of the scripts in that ATV Remote directory, create a file called skip_file_write. This will stop the main program from overwriting the changes. Good luck!
