pyatv

There’s a bunch of Apple TV Remote apps, and I’m pretty sure at least one is using pyatv. Cause I had two pyatv remote devices on my Apple TV, think I only had one before.

Need to make either a web app that I can run on one of my computers, or just a simple keyboard app, that uses pyatv made in Python. There’s ways to make a apk for Android from Python.

I’m lazy, but pissed that people are using pyatv in Android apps, and charging for the fucking keyboard. If they can’t be bothered to write their software 100% by themselves, why the fuck should anyone give them a dime? Also pyatv is open source, does the license allow what they are doing?

The other option is piracy, but I’ll pass. Would be kind of funny to take their frontend to pyatv, and make a keyboard app that uses it, for free. Just install their app, then make another app, and call the binaries if you can. Is that piracy?

I’m guessing they were too lazy to lock down the keyboard ability of pyatv.

But if you are going to do that, just include the full pyatv in your own Python app.

Or use Termux, does Python work in it? Well, probably, you can run a desktop environment with it. Or a gutted Ubuntu, gutted cause fuse doesn’t work. I tried running the appimage of a pyatv app.

Perhaps I should reinstall that, and laugh at the paid apps.

No need to write an app for a keyboard if I do that. I use a remote for everything else, just want keyboard for copy and pasting passwords.

Looks like Termux works with Python. But does virtualenv work? Might want to run more Python crap, and will want to keep it clean.

Damn firewall, it made LocalSend fail, cause I was applying my changes. To allow Termux internet.

Almost 30 MB/s after disabling encryption on desktop, you need to disable on both devices, or it will use it. Did I set the right permissions to ignore, or should they be allow?

Hmm, might be running in background now, without failing, nice.

Nope just failed. Guess it can’t run in background. Even with unrestricted battery permission, it fails. Need a download manager, so I can just use a download manager. You can find unrestricted battery setting in settings, then apps, and click the battery thing. Regular settings, not app settings.

Guess LocalSend doesn’t support running in background. I’ll send a link, and download with IronFox, maybe that’ll work.

And virtualenvs might work with Termux. Trying to install pyatv, looks like it failed.

Maybe don’t use pip3, nope, pip didn’t work either.

pkg install build-essential openssl libffi rust

Their site doesn’t say you need rust, then run pip install pyatv.

Had to plug phone in, down to 5%.

And accidentally closed the decompress thing in the File Manager. Was still opening the 20 GB file.

Open a 20 GB zip file, and install pyatv at the same time, that’ll slow a $150 phone down. Is it just opening, or extracting at the same time? If it’s just going to open it, I’m looking for something that can decompress it without doing that. I could just use adb if unzip is installed.

Shouldn’t have deleted the zip file before checking if it worked. Didn’t extract everything. Will just use adb.

ZipXtract might work, but download from IzzyOnDroid if you want 7z and RAR.

ZipXtract doesn’t think my zip file is a zip file.
