pyatv service with tvOS 17 #2215

What do you need help with?

I am trying to use pyatv with a docker instance using the aiohttp implementation.

From what I understand, the protocol I need to use is companion link.

I was able to launch a docker instance of pyatv and I can see my device when I access the /scan endpoint. I'm also able to connect, but only via MRP (companion is asking for credentials that I can't seem to figure out how to generate).

Using MRP, I can't see to use any /remote_control command (it replies not supported to everything I'm trying). Any suggestions?

Just run atvremote wizard and follow the instructions, should be enough.

Right, I think there's a bug in companion when running the wizard. I'll fix that soon and make a release, will let you know when it's available.

Thanks.

BTW, any plans to create a "wizard" functionality into the web service?

Although the library is critical, I think the web service is undervalued, particularly if it's widely available in Docker. As many people do, I have a smart home with easy access to REST, but complex protocols are relegated to IR. It might be a good idea to have a full (simple) flow supported through the Web service and have an official docker image for it (I had to cobble one together, which I assume is not up to date with the latest atvremote).

Thing is that pyatv is purely a library and does not expose any API except for a pure python API. That is my only intention to support as well. I have some example code for exposing parts of the API via HTTP, but it is merely that: an example. The way it should go is that someone needs to implement a proper application built with pyatv that exposes an API for external consumers. That would be great, but not something that I'm interested in developing not maintaining unfortunately.
