Apple TV State Not Updating

[danbayliss]

The problem

I've been using the ATV Beta custom_component for some time but after speaking to Postlund on Discord he recommended when 2020.12 is released it's best to move over to the core ATV Integration.

The Apple TV state when not playing content should be 'idle'. When I play movies it changes to 'playing' and when stopping the movie it changes back to 'idle'. When I call the service 'camera.play_stream' to play my camera the state succesfully changes to 'playing' but when I press home on my ATV remote and the ATV goes back to the main menu then state does not change to 'idle'. If I then try and play a movie the state remains as 'playing' and when I exit it remains as 'playing'. The only way to fix it is to reboot the ATV

I can confirm this issue, it might be something with the last update of AppleTV (14.3) ?

[danbayliss]

I don't think it's related to tvOS version as i'm still on 14.0.2

I can confirm this is happening for me as well - specifically when using the Apple Fitness+ app. A reload of the component typically resolves the problem.

[postlund]

It would be great if you could attach some debug logs I can look at. Suggestion for log points:

logger:
  logs:
    pyatv: debug
    custom_components.apple_tv: debug

Hi. Attached is the log where I call play_stream, wait around 30 seconds and then press home on my ATV remote to stop the camera stream. Hopefully this is useful
ATV.log

I believe this is the same issue I've been rambling about in postlund/pyatv#905. Will start working on a fix for that.

Same here...after going idle (like tv is off) the component is losing track of what s happening on the atv anymore...i need to reload the component in the integrations section and then it s working again.

I'm thinking my open issue (#43462) could be related to this one. I have no comments on that issue, so it maybe went unnoticed. This still happens with 2020.12 update.

[postlund]

@sira87 Since I don't have any logs to look at, I can't tell for sure. But since this appears to be a general issue now, it's likely that it at least relates.

[MarvinSchenkel]

Same issue here. @postlund, are the logs supplied by @sira87 in #43462 sufficient, or do you need any additional log to figure this one out?

It appears that the most recent version of Home Assistant (2021.1, see Release notes ) resolves this issue. I just updated Home Assistant, and now the status of the media player is updated correctly, including the state (idle, playing, paused) and the media source (movie/stream and app name).

It appears that the most recent version of Home Assistant (2021.1, see Release notes ) resolves this issue.).

The issue is still present for me in 2021.1, my ATV turned off due to inactivity but the entity state in HA remained Playing. It seems like no logs are being generated, it just stays in Playing state, with no errors.

The only logs I have were generated when I tried to interact with the stuck entity via this script:

alias: Apple TV OFF
sequence:
  - service: remote.send_command
    data:
      entity_id: remote.sala
      command: home_hold
  - delay: '00:00:01'
  - service: remote.send_command
    data:
      entity_id: remote.sala
      command: select
mode: single

Here are the logs it generated when I started the script:

I was actually quite surprised hearing that HA 2021.1 solved the problem as it didn't contain any bug fixes of magnitude. However, I do believe it's fixed on master. I have some other bugs I'm working on, after that I will make a new release of pyatv and include a bump in the next HA release. Hopefully I can make a bump in the beta repo, so you can test it there. It all depends on how much time I manage to find.

Awesome news! Thank you for your work @postlund, it's really appreciated!
