Apple TV 12.1.1 compatibility

[johninaustin]

Apple now validates the user agent. Use "Remote/1021".

[nievamarenostrum]

where do I have to use that command, in the configure.json?

[johninaustin]

You update the DacpConnection.js file, changing the User-Agent... it's part of this pull request.

If anyone wants to rush this into a homebridge running on a pi, the path to the file is /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-dacp/sr/dacp/ adding the one line from Johninaustin fixes the issue after a reboot of homebridge.

[nievamarenostrum]

tested and working. Thank you!

[sidjohn1]

I've also made the change and it worked like a champ!

[damianromanowski]

Can confirm this fixes #60 and probably #58 as well.

The fix worked for me until today. I have no idea where it comes from, either the Homebridge update or the latest tvOS 12.1.2 but I suddenly get the following error in homebridge and the accessory is shown as not responding in the Home app.

I manually edited Dacpconnection.js as described.

The DACP switch works in Home app to control play-pause but does not report status change if play/pause activated by bluetooth AppleTV remote or iOS controller.

Log reports the same error as CooperCGN when trying to use alternate-playpause-switch.
