A command-line remote for controlling Apple TV, HomePod, and AirPlay devices on your local network. It can find devices, pair with them, and control playback, volume, and navigation.

Use it to discover devices, start or pause media, inspect what is playing, change volume, and send navigation commands.

It removes the need to control these devices manually through their apps or remotes when working from a terminal or automated workflow.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00029	$0.01756
Opus 5	$0.00015	$0.00878
Sonnet 5	$0.00006	$0.00351
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00176

Measured 9d ago against content hash 367bb3a98bc8, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-12, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

apple-media scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Apple Media Remote

Control Apple TV, HomePod, and AirPlay devices from the command line using atvremote.

Setup Notes

pyatv has a compatibility issue with Python 3.14+. Use --python python3.13 (or any version ≤3.13) when installing.
If ~/.local/bin isn't on your PATH after install, run: pipx ensurepath
If your default Python is 3.14+, you can also call directly: python3.13 -m pyatv.scripts.atvremote <command>

Scan for Devices

atvremote scan
atvremote --scan-hosts 10.0.0.50 scan          # Scan specific IP (faster)
atvremote --scan-hosts 10.0.0.50,10.0.0.51 scan  # Multiple IPs

Returns all discoverable Apple TV, HomePod, and AirPlay devices on the local network with their names, addresses, protocols, and pairing status.

Target a Device

Use -n <name> (device name), -s <ip> (address), or -i <id> (identifier) to target:

atvremote -n "Kitchen" <command>
atvremote -s 10.0.0.50 <command>
atvremote -i AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF <command>

Playback Control

atvremote -n "Kitchen" playing           # Now playing info (title, artist, album, position, etc.)
atvremote -n "Kitchen" play              # Resume playback
atvremote -n "Kitchen" pause             # Pause playback (resumable with play)
atvremote -n "Kitchen" play_pause        # Toggle play/pause
atvremote -n "Kitchen" stop              # Stop playback (ends session, cannot resume)
atvremote -n "Kitchen" next              # Next track
atvremote -n "Kitchen" previous          # Previous track
atvremote -n "Kitchen" skip_forward      # Skip forward (~10-30s, app-dependent)
atvremote -n "Kitchen" skip_backward     # Skip backward (~10-30s, app-dependent)
atvremote -n "Kitchen" skip_forward=30   # Skip forward specific seconds
atvremote -n "Kitchen" set_position=120  # Seek to position (seconds)
atvremote -n "Kitchen" set_shuffle=Songs # Shuffle: Off, Songs, Albums
atvremote -n "Kitchen" set_repeat=All    # Repeat: Off, Track, All

Volume

atvremote -n "Kitchen" volume            # Get current volume (0-100)
atvremote -n "Kitchen" set_volume=50     # Set volume (0-100)
atvremote -n "Kitchen" volume_up         # Step up (~2.5%)
atvremote -n "Kitchen" volume_down       # Step down (~2.5%)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
