Marantz AVR not showing up as source

Purchased this remote during the kick Starter campaign and when I initially tried to set it up, I couldn't get my Marantz receiver to show up as a source. I tried multiple things at the time and gave up due to lack of time and the thought that perhaps it was a software issue that would get resolved in a future update. Months later I decided to give it another go and I am still having the same issues. I have a relatively simple setup with a Sony Android TV, Roku Ultra, and a Marantz AVR. I have followed all of the set up instructions in order, and cannot get the Marantz receiver to show up as a source. After adding the Marantz driver, I am able to add and configure my receiver and successfully send commands to it using the "Device Command Testing" feature. I have created the room (Living Room) and added it to the room but is still does not show up on the "Sources and Apps" page with the Sony TV and Roku player. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver and gone through adding the device procedure multiple times, without success. When I add drivers (and go through the device discovery process and add devices to "Living Room") for other networked devices around my home as a test, they show up as expected. Can someone provide me with some help on this issue? Thanks in advance!

I had a similar issue that popped up when I was doing some testing using a Pioneer AVR driver to control a DVD player.

You should have a server variable with a name like roomname_avr_id with the id associated with your Marantz. In my case, the variable is theater_avr_id and it has a value of 08, the ID for my Marantz, found in the Marantz driver.

Also, make sure the server variable roomname_marantzname_isavailable equals 1. In my case, this is theater_theratermarantz_isavailable. Marantzname is whatever you called your Marantz in the Marantz driver.

Thanks Kyle, I could not locate these variables for my receiver (I did see them for my other devices) so I created them, but the receiver is still not showing up as a source. Hoping someone from Allonis can remote into my server to see what I am missing.

There was a bug in the driver that was asking for Model, when it should have asked for "Type" ie: AVR. That is now fixed. We also while on your system, saw you had IP Camera driver. That is now Legacy. We added the new MediaMTX driver but would need your userid / pass for each of your cameras to help you set that up.

Thanks for the fast support David, this is great!

I sent my camera info via email.
