New in ATV Desktop Remote 1.1.1 (Oct 15, 2023)
- This release adds the ability to enter text with a keyboard, thanks to pyatv adding that capability. To open the keyboard input window, press 'k' or click 'Use Keyboard'. If you do not see 'Use Keyboard', you likely need to re-pair with your ATV, the keyboard uses a different protocol (Companion) than normal remote commands (AirPlay). This also means you have to enter in 2 codes while pairing.
- If you have a skip_file_write file in your working directory (~/Library/Application Support/ATV Remote on macOS, %APPDATA%/ATV Remote on Windows), you MUST remove it to allow the new server to be put in place.
- This version also changes how pyatv is installed. It attempts to create an env directory that everything is installed in. If you had problems with Python in previous releases, you can still customize how the server is run by adding a skip_file_write file in the working directory, but only after allowing the program to run once to copy the new server in place.
New in ATV Desktop Remote 1.0.0 Beta (Jan 30, 2022)
- On launch, this program will run python3 -m pip install -q --user websockets pyatv to install the dependencies needed for the server component of this program to run.
- If this doesn't start properly, search for where wsserver.py is either in AppData or Application Support. If you create a file called skip_file_write in that directory, this program will stop creating the server files every time at launch, meaning you can modify the files to try to get things running. The goal is to be able to run start_server.sh or start_server.bat and successfully start the server component of this program. Try running those scripts directly and report any errors you are seeing.
- Also note that this does take a little longer to start than the previous version. Once it's up and running it should work similarly to the previous version.
New in ATV Desktop Remote 0.9.8 (Apr 13, 2021)
- This release will hopefully work for some of the people who weren't able to start the previous release.
