Cannot pair Apple TV - Homebridge log doesn't response to Input

Open crazy-jackrabbit opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

Hey, I successfully installed your Plugin, but when I start Homebridge via SSH on my Mac and then I press the Button "Pair Apple TV" in my Home App, the Apple TV shows me a Pin an the TV, i cannot pair the Homebridge to the Apple TV. When i see the PIN on the TV I go into the Homebridge Log (via Terminal) and see the Command: [INFO] Type the Apple TV pairing code then press enter/return. But when i insert the PIN (and press Enter)nothing happens.

Can someone please help me.

On the Mac Pair it Manually with appletv pair and follow the instructions given...then just paste your credentials in the config...its the easiest way...the automatic implementation of the developer is quite nice but its has its limits...

appletv pair doesn't work for me. (-bash: appletv: Command not found) Just for your understanding, homebridge is running on my Raspberry Pi (without GUI). I only use my Mac to configure Homebridge.

Try installing it with sudo npm install -g node-appletv —unsafe-perm
