JVC Projector Driver

I thought that the projector would disconnect all by itself within 5 seconds after you stop issuing commands. That's the way my old JVC RS45 works

As we've found out that's not true in newer models so the driver will have to explicitly disconnect. I looked at the NZ7, NX7, and RS600 versions of the IP control document and none of them mention the 5 second network timeout. So all generations dating back to at least 2016 don't seem to have that "feature".

Driver updated. It will now automatically disconnect after every command. If it doesn't I'll have to remote into a server that has a projector that does not automatically close and watch what it is doing.

Thanks Dave.  I'm on vacation right now so won't be able to check until next weekend.  When I do, I'll give a status update.

Just got back from vacation and tried out the new version and it now allows me to connect with other tools. Thanks for fixing it Dave.

Hi Dave - After using this for a couple of days I've noticed that I will get some connection errors every once in a while. I was wondering if it was possible to add some sort of error handling to the driver so that if one of these errors happens it would automatically resend the command. When it happens if I issue the command again it works so it's obviously something temporary. I could add my own logic to the on/off commands but the status only updates every thirty seconds so it would make power on/off take a really long time just to make sure the command was sent properly. Thanks.

Example of an error:
