[APP][Pro] Apple TV & HomePod

With the new Version on my side still no pairing possible?

I have these HomePod mini Models:

1x MJ2C3D/A
2x MY5H2D/A
1x MY5G2D/A

i am not able to pair these models. The App finds the HomePods, but after I click one of them it get stucked in loading. After I think 5-6 Minutes no device is paired and I see my 4 HomePods again where I can choose?

Hi Bas, great work, thanks a lot!

Would it be possible to make a card like in the Sonos app? I like to play a Soundboard sound (like when my doorbell rings).

@Joep_Vullings First I want to get the app stable enough, so this isn’t on the todo list anytime soon. That said, I have a proof of concept for this, but that is not ready yet :slight_smile:

@Jonathan_Draper Good to hear! How is the connection of those specific HomePods after pairing?

@Chris86 Hmm, weird. Can you share a diagnostics report on the newest version please? From your last diagnostics report I can see that your HomePods reject the pairing session quite early in the process, the first request to be more specific. There is no information shared at that point… Are your HomePods configured in Apples Home-app at all? :thinking:

@BasMilius Seems stable so far, will keep you posted if anything changes.

@Chris86 Still the same issue as far as I can see. I’ve just published v1.0.20, that update just adds some more logging during that process. It won’t work for you, but can you please try it and send another report? I’ll get some more information then :slight_smile:

Hi, here is the new report a370e06e-93cf-495e-b25d-788ff75d6b31

@BasMilius the report I sent you work ? Or was useless information ?

Let me know if you need more info

@Chris86 Thanks! I have more information now, I’ll test some stuff when I’m back from my vacation :slight_smile:

@Casi_22 Somewhat informative, I have the feeling that it’s the retry logic in the app that is causing this…

I have strange behavior. On wifi works smoothly without any issue (sometimes for second there is an error but it comes back quickly to normal) but when i connect to eth. When Apple TV are going to sleep red triangle appears till i do not restart the app.

PS: For those users who cant add HomePods please double check if access is not restricted to home user only. This resolved my issues with paring.

App crashes now one of the Homepods refuses to connect. Clicking on the disconnected Homepod crashes the app again

@Nils_Kijkuit Ah the crash is because the app used too much memory and I can see what the issue is in the report. Not something I can fix tonight, but I’ll look at it tomorrow. If I’m able to return home because of the issues at Schiphol Airport :sweat_smile:

The connection issue was not in the report, maybe because it was too much…

@MSario Thanks for the HomePod solution :slight_smile:

The issue I’ll check when I’m back home, I have my Apple TV connected using ethernet, but maybe something different happens here also when I’m connecting to Wifi instead. Let’s hope I have the same behavior, that would make fixing it more easy! :smiley:
