I know there are other threads referring to the AppleTV code issue, but I suspect these 2 are connected, and here’s a pointer to the (likely) way to handle this:

key bit:
the login sequence is as below
iPhone –> iTunes : GET /server-info HTTP/1.1
iTunes –> iPhone : HTTP/1.1 200 OK
iPhone –> iTunes : GET /login?pairing-guid=* HTTP/1.1
iTunes –> iPhone : HTTP/1.1 200 OK
If rpedde is correct, that it’s encrypted, then how about this?
once logged in, itunes is saving the validated code in the xml file. maybe we can copy it? Rename a firefly instance to the same name as the Itunes library had, and use the code?
