New models that don't come with an Ethernet port cannot be paired via USB and have to use remote pairing.

Roadmap:

  • Pairing (plumesign)
  • Pairing (GUI)
  • Installing (since there are some issues from what I found)

Features I implemented:

  • Pairing
    • Pairing through the GUI would be added later
    • Pairing can be done via plumesign. Enter your Apple TV into pairing mode, run plumesign pair discover -t 10, then use the provided IP and port of your Apple TV to pair to it plumesign pair --ip IP --port PORT. You can then verify whether it's paired or not using plumesign pair list. It uses mDNS to discover it, I used the mdns-sd library for it.
  • Fixed installing on tvOS
    • For whatever reason, Impactor requested iOS provisioning profiles even for tvOS devices. Now it does proper requests.

Special thanks:

  • bitxeno for their project, atvloadly, which I used as a reference! :)

I wrote the code myself. I have used an LLM to troubleshoot a few issues I had with pairing but that’s about it.
