Cannot read property 'indexOf' of undefined after pairing (tvOS11.3)

[williamli]

I am trying to get homebridge-dacp to work with my AppleTV runnign tvOS11.3.

I have added

           {
          "platform": "DACP",
          "devices": [
            {
              "name": "AppleTV",
              "features": {
                "alternate-playpause-switch": true
              }
            }
          ]
        }

and used the passcode to successfully pair it with AppleTV.

I was asked to insert

        {
            "name": "AppleTV",
            "pairing": "6B413D0D21623AEC",
            "serviceName": "ACB0F206EF58248D18A4FC4362CFEEB3050D312E"
        }

into the accessories array.

On restart, homebridge crash with the following TypeError:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'indexOf' of undefined
    at API.accessory (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/lib/api.js:50:12)

Me too. What is the fix?

[willgonz]

I figured it out, Someone else posted their config example. You don't put it in the accessories Array, that is a lie. Paste this: "pairing": "6B413D0D21623AEC", "serviceName": "ACB0F206EF58248D18A4FC4362CFEEB3050D312E" into

{ "platform": "DACP", "devices": [ { "name": "AppleTV", "pairing": "6B413D0D21623AEC", "serviceName": "ACB0F206EF58248D18A4FC4362CFEEB3050D312E", "features": { "alternate-playpause-switch": true } } ] }

[williamli]

let me give it a try.

I meant the device entry with the text. Sorry about the confusion. Will rework this in 1.0.

I am running into this issue as well, I get the same error in the terminal whether I put the pairing & service in accessories or in the devices.

                "alternate-playpause-switch": true
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
]

} `

This is the error i get in terminal.

[BrentonBeltrami]

I found my error. I had "platforms": [ twice in the document.
