No problem. Thx for your help!

OK. Hopefully this will solve it. This is still with the log enabled. Once we prove it works, I'll remove that.

Well done! Works. I could turn the Optoma on/off

Process 0x7feb5c28dd20: cmd '%1POWR' - param = '1'
get host name
create socket
connect to socket
wait for connection response
received initial response: >>>pjlink 0
<<<
STARTUP SUCCESS
send pjlink command = %1POWR 1
wait for response
received response: >>>%1powr=OK
<<<
ensure response starts with %1
check that response command matches sent command
shutdown socket
close socket
close socket err = 0

I'm back from some time off the grid, it's wonderful to see the problem has been resolved in the meantime! Heartfelt thanks! Isadora rocks, the software and the people behind it!

Would it be possible to get a version of the plugin with the log disabled, and also a Windows version? Our final piece will run on Windows.

We'll make sure to post images + video of the piece as soon as it's up. It's a permanent interactive public art installation in the 6th district in Vienna.

Thank you!

Mark's going to be unavailable for a little while, but I'll bring this up to him as soon as he's back.

Hi there Maki, I also created a custom PJLINK actor that can be found for Isadora 2.6.1. It still works for Isadora 3, and that way you may still use PJLINK if we don't hear back from Mark in time.

Could you let me know what your timeframe is that you need a solution ?

Cheers!

Maki

@juriaan @Woland

Ok, no worries! We install on August 29th, it'd be amazing to have a solution by then but we'll manage if it's later than that. The actual launch will be mid September.

I'd love to try the alternative PJLINK actor, where can I find it?

Cheers!

Unfortunately it's unlikely that Mark will be available to get new plugins to you by this date. We suggest going with @Juriaan 's solution for the time being.

@woland

Ok, no worries! In the meantime I used @Juriaan 's plugin. It works as a temporary fix. Thank you!

Juriaan

@maki

Great to hear that it works for you :)

The updated plugin (v0.9.5) for both Macintosh and Windows is now available on our plugins page.

We'll look into it, but if all else fails, please take a look at @Juriaan's custom solution here: https://community.troikatronix.com/topic/5264/updated-tutorial-control-your-projector-using-pjlink

I think this is my bad. I don't the the v0.9.5 version got compiled for Windows.

Please try this download and report back to let me know if it works or doesn't work.

@edjoynson @DusX @Woalnd and All,

I did not increment the version number of the Windows plugin supplied above. If the build above solves the problem according to @EdJoynson then I will increment the version number for both Mac and Windows versions to ensure everyone knows they've got the working version.

So please confirm if the above download (send-pjlink-v0.9.5.zip) solves the issue for you.

Best Wishes,
Mark
