7 years ago The push API is implemented as a long lived future and dispatched on the event loop. So it is basically runs "in the background" by never finishing. My example in the documentation is actually quite wrong and misleading now that I look at it. Not sure what I was thinking. I can't really cook up a correct solution right now, but something like this should work in theory:
import sys
import asyncio
import pyatv
LOOP = asyncio.get_event_loop()
class PushListener:
def playstatus_update(self, updater, playstatus):
# Currently playing in playstatus
print(playstatus)
@staticmethod
def playstatus_error(updater, exception):
# Error in exception
updater.start(initial_delay=10)
@asyncio.coroutine
def print_what_is_playing(loop):
"""Find a device and print what is playing."""
print('Discovering devices on network...')
atvs = yield from pyatv.scan_for_apple_tvs(loop, timeout=5)
if not atvs:
print('no device found', file=sys.stderr)
return
print('Connecting to {}'.format(atvs[0].address))
atv = pyatv.connect_to_apple_tv(atvs[0], loop)
try:
listener = PushListener()
atv.push_updater.listener = listener
atv.push_updater.start()
yield from asyncio.sleep(60)
finally:
# Do not forget to logout
yield from atv.logout()
if __name__ == '__main__':
LOOP.run_until_complete(print_what_is_playing(LOOP))It should subscribe to updates, sleep for one minute and then shutdown. As I said, not sure if it works but maybe you can use it as a template and make some adjustments?

I've tried your example, but I'm no experienced with python enough to know if it's missing any thing.
I've got the following: import pyatv import asyncio
which now seems to run, as without the if main it'd get a syntax error. But then it just drops out. I assume I can just put in a loop. Would I be correct in that there's not loop/timer in the push_updater, or listener code?
