TVScope Support
TVScope shows your Apple TV's screen and sound live on iPhone, iPad or Mac, over your own Wi‑Fi. Most problems come from the network between the two devices.
Contact
Email darkhorse8023@gmail.com. Please include your device and system version, your Apple TV model and tvOS version, the TVScope version (Settings › About) and the exact error text. You can export a diagnostic log in Settings › Developer › Diagnostics; it contains no screen contents. Send logs by email, not in a public issue.
What do I need?
- An Apple TV with AirPlay turned on (Settings › AirPlay and HomeKit).
- An iPhone, iPad or Mac on the same home network as the Apple TV. Turn off any VPN.
- Local Network access allowed for TVScope.
How do I connect the first time?
Open TVScope, choose your Apple TV and tap Show Screen. TVScope shows a 4-digit code; enter it on the Apple TV with the Siri Remote. Pairing happens once. The Remote pairs separately: the first time you open it, the Apple TV shows a code to type in TVScope.
I can see the Apple TV, but it will not connect
Finding a device and connecting to it are separate steps. Check that you are not on a guest network, a hotspot or an isolated VLAN, and that the router does not use client (AP) isolation. Turn off VPN, TUN or “enhanced” modes in proxy apps, then try again.
Where is the Local Network setting?
iPhone and iPad: Settings › Privacy & Security › Local Network › TVScope. Mac: System Settings › Privacy & Security › Local Network › TVScope. After you change it, quit TVScope and open it again.
The picture stops when I leave the app
iOS pauses network listening in the background and when the screen locks. Keep TVScope in the foreground while you capture, and turn off Low Power Mode while you test.
Mac: the Apple TV never answers
The Apple TV connects back to your Mac. In System Settings › Network › Firewall › Options, allow incoming connections for TVScope. If the Mac uses Wi‑Fi and Ethernet at the same time, try one of them only.
Where are my screenshots and recordings?
In TVScope's Library. They go to Photos only when you turn on Save to Photos or save an item yourself.
