Nillaz, I just remoted into your system and had a look at AppleTV. One thing I noticed was that the Device Address field was blank and the Serial Number file had the Device Address in it. Usually on a successful discover the serial number should contain a long GUID unique identifier and the Device Address field will have the AppleTV mac address.

With the Device Address file blank the driver is not able to authenticate with the AppleTV. I edited the AppleTV entry and copied the Server number field over to the Device address field and now the driver sees all your apps.

Anyone else having AppleTV issues please check to see if your Device Address filed is also blank. If it is make the save changes I did above. If you still have issues then I'll remote in and have a look.

If you are interested in building your own appl launcher page the driver supports a Launch command that you can use to run any app on the AppleTV.

The general syntax of the command is AV|<appletv id>~Launch~<name of appletv app to run>
If your AppleTV's id was 7 and you wanted a launch netflix button the command would look like.

AV|7~Launch~com.netflix.Netflix

You can get the actual name of the app by watching the myServer event log when you launch the app from the default page.

Some common AppleTV aps and their names are

Emby (emby.media.emby-tvos)
Arcade (com.apple.Arcade)
Hulu (com.hulu.plus)

Did what you said and worked like a charm! May want to add that in the documentation so that people in the future wont have the same issue that all of us had.

Is there anyway that the icons can be moved around? Believe me, Im pumped that they are showing up!...I just know thats the first thing that my wife and kids will ask since they really only use 4 or 5 of the apps on there.

But looks great and thanks for the help to get it setup and running how it should!

So I'm having an issue where I can launch the apps but I can't have any control over the apple tv. When I initially paired the the server to the atv cursor control worked now, nothing. I made the edits above, I went into the atv and got the serial # entered into the driver.
Using the global cache ip2ir works ok but I'd much prefer ip control.
