  "github_readme_excerpt": "# ATV Desktop Remote\nA simple menubar app that allows you to control an Apple TV from your desktop\n\n ![What this application looks like when running in either light or dark mode](screenshot_new.png)\n\n\n\n## Installation \n\nIf you have homebrew installed `brew install atv-remote`\n\nmacOS and Windows versions can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/bsharper/atv-desktop-remote/releases\n\n\n## Usage\n\n 1. Keys are mapped to the keyboard when the application is open (pressing return or enter on the keyboard for select, delete for Menu, etc).\n 2. Press `Option`, or `Alt` on Windows, to see what the characters are mapped to when the application is open.\n 3. Long press buttons now works to simulate long presses on the remote\n \n \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"buttonpress.gif\" alt=\"long press button animation\" width=\"200\"/\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n \n \n \n ## Running\n\n 1. Run `npm i --legacy-peer-deps` (other package manages may also work)\n 2. Run `npm start`\n 3. The application runs in the menubar. Look for a tiny remote icon and click on it. Right-click for more options.\n 4. The first time the app runs it will need to pair with an Apple TV. You can pair with more than one.\n 5. Press `Cmd+Shift+R` to open the application from anywhere. On Windows its `Win+Shift+R`\n\n## Building\n\n1. `electron-builder` is used to create a standalone application.\n\n## Notes\n\nThis is cobbled together from a few projects I\u0027ve worked on. It works well enough for me for daily use, so I figured others might like it. \n\nThis project is built using [pyatv.](https://pyatv.dev/)\n\n[![ko-fi](https://ko-fi.com/img/githubbutton_sm.svg)](https://ko-fi.com/brianharper)\n",
