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.
