Hi, all.  My setup is multiroom video distribution of all sources.  I just upgraded to the Apple TV 4K driver from the old IP driver (v 107).  When I am watching Apple TV in one room, and then turn it on in a second room (, third room, etc.), selecting Apple TV sends the "menu" command, interrupting playback of whatever I am watching.  There isn't an obvious way to change this in the settings screen.  Is anyone aware of a workaround?  What I want is to be able to select Apple TV in additional rooms without having the driver send a "menu" or any other command.

Thanks,

David

Just a note for anyone interested in this driver, I've been running Josh's raspberry pi appliance and the driver for more than a year.  It is the most rock solid piece of equipment in my house, I haven't had to touch it in all the time I've owned it, even though I have frequent power outages in my neighborhood.  I can't say enough positive things about @Joshua Pressnell or this Homekit solution.

It's *very* unusual for a DriverWorks driver to be controller/platform-specific.  The Apple Bridge driver (and the new AppleTV drivers for the same reason) is only available on the EA series controllers due to an OS incompatibility on the HC800, which causes the HC800 to be unable to run the apple daemon, which the bridge driver uses for Apple connectivity.

OK, I'm curious now.  I'm running the Varietas homebridge appliance with the Control4 driver.  I had thought that the references in this topic to the Apple Bridge Driver were references to Varietas.  Can someone explain what the Apple Bridge Driver is for me?  Also, does anyone know if the Varietas applliance (Raspberry Pi) and the Varietas driver have any issues under 3.0?

Thanks,

David
