No apple tv found #43

Closed djacobs23 closed 4 years ago

I have tried using your plugin and the appletv-x to get the codes and it finds no appletvs. I have 8 of them. The developer of Appletv-x is not much help. Do you have any hints on how to discover my Apple TVs from my Raspberry Homebridge setup?

lukasroegner commented 4 years ago

@djacobs23 I would suggest to check your network configuration first.

I would recommend to create a static lease (i.e. static IP address) for the Apple TV(s) you want to use with the plugin. You can do a ping to the Apple TV(s) to check whether they are reachable from the Raspberry.

I should have provided you all the info that you mentioned. All of my Apple TVs have reserved IP addresses. As does my rPi. I can ping them from the Pi without issue. I am running the out of the box Homebridge installer for the rPi so I do not believe there is a VPN.

What you can also try:

Which Apple TV models do you own? I have two Apple TV 4K running the latest update. Both can be found via appletv pair.

djacobs23 commented 4 years ago

I hav installed it on my mac. The version is 14.2.0

Appletv-x version is 1.0.16

I now get 2 of my Apple tv’s to show up, but still not the other 6?

This is so flaky.

Thanks,

Install node-appletv-x on a different device and check whether you get results there Check your node version (I'm running the appletv command successfully on v10 and v12) Try appletv pair --verbose, maybe you get any error messages Which Apple TV models do you own?

Here is another thing you can try:

appletv pair --timeout 60

This increases the scan timeout to 60 seconds.

djacobs23 commented 4 years ago

I have tried that as well

but here is what I found. The two apple Tis I can see are the only two on wireless. On my Orbing. The rest are hardwired to my netgear Switch.

I am thinking some config between my orbing set up and my switch is causing the packets to be blocked. I can ping the devices, but something is blocking the appletv pair command.

Yes, that sounds like the cause of the issue. I'm closing this issue for now, feel free to reopen if issues occur after you fixed the network-related stuff.
