Pythonista trigger screen mirror motion control
-
@smiddleton but what do you want to see on your AppleTV? Your Pythonista screen?
-
Thanks for the code sample! It worked perfectly for opening airplay. Is that the same thing as screen mirror?
-
@smiddleton yes and no. It is for mirroring a player, like a music player or a video player, but, I think (not sure) that it is not for IPhone screen mirroring. But you could test by tapping Apple TV and see what occurs on your tv.
But I don't know anything about that. I just have found the objectiveC class used in my little script.
-
@smiddleton But if is to mirror your Pythonista screen, it is possible via a secondary screen, your AppleTV, like @mikael said.
-
That makes sense. Would it work to use something like IFTTT to trigger the screen mirror shortcut? I read that pythonista and IFTTT can work together.

Not sure that any app could access to this feature..
-
You can run a pythonista script from ifft, shortcuts, or a home screen icon. But turning screen mirroring on requires user action.

Even MPAudioVideoRoutingPopoverController (Belongs to private API, not public, don't use it) does not support any more mirroring
The app was terminated due to an Objective-C exception. Details below: 2021-05-19 15:54:01.491399 Mirroring is no longer supported by MPAudioVideoRoutingPopoverController -
Well, the airdop script worked great, just for sound though. It showed my apple TV, but only for speaker use. I looked for screen mirroring in accessibility, and couldn't find a shortcut there.
-
@smiddleton I think you can forget it. No way for an app to set screen mirroring for all apps. Security...
-
Thanks for the help everyone. I did learn a lot, and that is a win!
-
@smiddleton but it is so sad to terminate on a "no way"...
I guess you know that your "flick" can open the control center without any swipe, but you should still to have to tap on screen mirroring and on AppleTV.
