Description:
pyatv 0.15.1
A client library for Apple TV and AirPlay devices
This is an asyncio python library for interacting with Apple TV and AirPlay devices. It mainly
targets Apple TVs (all generations, including tvOS 15 and later), but also supports audio streaming via AirPlay
to receivers like the HomePod, AirPort Express and third-party speakers. It can act as remote control to the Music
app/iTunes in macOS.
All the documentation you need is available at pyatv.dev.
What can it do?
Some examples include:
Remote control commands
Metadata retrieval with push updates
Stream files via AirPlay
List and launch installed apps
List and switch user accounts
Add, remove or set audio output devices (e.g. HomePods)
Keyboard support
Persistent storage of credentials and settings
...and lots more! A complete list is available here.
Great, but how do I use it?
All documentation (especially for developers) are available at pyatv.dev.
It is however possible to install with pip and set up a new device atvremote:
$ pip install pyatv
$ atvremote wizard
