Will not pair with ATV 4Kg2 tvOS 15

[elvisimprsntr]

Nice app, if I can get it working.

Config

1. M1 MBP, MacOS Monterey
2. ATV 4Kg2, tvOS 15

Steps

1. Launch ATV Remote on M1
2. Select ATV to pair with
3. Pairing code never displayed on ATV.

Not sure of this is using BlueTooth or not, so I added app to BT privacy permission.

@elvisimprsntr Thanks for reporting this, I'm having the same issue. This appears to be related to tvOS 15 Beta. I'm only seeing this in tvOS 15 beta and not tvOS 14.

I reported the issue to the library I'm using, but it might just be a bug in the beta that will be resolved in the next beta.

For reference, here is that same issue in node-appletv (the library that does the heavy lifting): https://github.com/evandcoleman/node-appletv/issues/53

I'll update my code if necessary when there is a fix available. Hopefully Apple will unbreak this in the next beta, but we'll have to wait and see.

Seems with tvOS 15.0beta3, the ATV 4Kg2 is no longer discoverable with what ever method you are using. tvOS 15.0b3 no longer announcing _mediaremotetv._tcp

Note: Living is missing

Hello all,

I have enjoyed using the app in the past. Unfortunately I realized too late that there is a problem with tvOS 15. Is there any progress yet to solve the current problem?

What is the possibility for the tvOS 15. Discovery mDNS metode is not working. Any way look for solve this problem?

I've pushed an update that works with tvOS 15. I have not built a new installer yet, so currently you have to grab the code and run it directly. I want to make sure the Python code doesn't mess anything up before making an official binary release. Follow the steps in the readme to test the latest update.
