I just cleared the cache via the recommended method ("Inspect" -- hold down Reload -- "Empty Cache and Reload"), however still no luck.

Making some progress.  After updating myServer6 to version 6.8.120.33937, I am now able to see the SonyVPL driver page and add the projector.  However, even after a myServer restart and cache clearing, the functions (Power, Source) do not work.  Projector does not turn on or off or change source.  I even turned on "Network Management" in addition to Remote Start, but no luck.

I used PuTTY to telnet into the projector and found that the commands (power "on", power "off", input "hdmi1', etc) all work perfectly.  Hence, my projector is at least set up properly.  I did confirm, at least in my testing, that "Remote Start" set to on was not sufficient... I had to also turn on "Network Management" in order to communicate with the projector in the Standby state.

Thus, I'm assuming there must be an issue with the driver.  Happy to help troubleshoot in any way I can.  Eager to get this working!

Best regards,
CJ

power "on"
power "off"
input "hdmi1"
input "hdmi2"

(pressing [Enter] after each)

These are the only ones I tried as they're the only ones I personally will use (technically just power for me since I only have one input at the moment).

I referenced this document for the commands:  BPJ PROTOCOL MANUAL COMMAND LIST

If you turn on verbose logging in the driver you will see that it is sending power "on"  power "off" etc.

Please email me your TeamViewer ID and I'll remote in an look for myself. That's the quickest path to a working solution.
