If something has an API it's almost certain one can control it through Isadora using one actor or another (probably Pythoner).

@t_decker

I forgot to mention that for TCP communication via ESC/VP21 command protocol, you don't need to activate the web API on the projector.

As I replied to your support ticket:

I just opened Isadora 2.6.1 on my Windows 11 machine and it appears to be working as expected. 
Do you have third party plugins/FFGL effect etc installed? You might need to Hide anything like that from Isadora (rename the folders.. I generally add '_HIDE' to the foldername) That way the externals won't be loaded the next time you open Isadora. 
You can also, try deleting your preferences file. It may be that something about your video config changed with the update, and this will reset things.
You can find the preferences at: C:\Users[YourUserName]\AppData\Roaming\TroikaTronix

@t_decker

I'm attaching some screenshots so you can create the user actor yourself. Double-click the TCP Send actor and copy and paste the command.
I hope this helps.

@jandraka,

Thanks for responding so quickly. I hate to ask, but is there a Isadora 3.26 version of your actor? We haven't upgraded yet, so I'm unable to open it.

My projectors don't explicitly enable or disable the Web API which appears to exist in later models, but there is definitely some sort of ESC/VP21 web control capability as I can do it through other apps. I'm starting to wonder if I need to specify a different version of the API in the command as it looks like some Epson models use different API versions (https://download3.ebz.epson.ne...)?

I'll get going on Wireshark in the meantime! Thanks, Javi! (and @BvG73 :-))

Hi, 

I have a user actor for you that I hope will help. You have to enter the projector's IP address and then select the memory number you want. I've tested it with my projector and it works perfectly.
You can also explore more commands. If the command you send requires a parameter, you have to leave a space (e.g., "POPLP ") and then add the parameter in the format P1:C.
Best regards.

Hi,

The user actors I shared require the Web API protocol to be enabled in the Epson projector's menu. Your model may not have that option. It's in Menu > Network > Network Settings > Others > Web API Settings (my menu is in Spanish, so I assume it's something like that). If you don't have the Web API option, you may be able to use Wireshark to monitor what's being sent via the web browser and make the request with a GET/POST actor.
Hope that helps.

Best regards.

Hello,
I have Isadora 2.6.10 with a key on Windows 10.
I updated Windows and now Isadora won't start. I reinstalled Isadora and the key driver, but it still won't start. I don't understand.
Can you help me?
Kind regards

@t_decker

Instead of using Isadora directly, try using the free Bitfocus Companion software as a go-between. See if it has the controls you need, if so create a button and trigger that button using osc from Isadora. 
My 2 cents. Good luck

Greetings all,

I'm trying to load lens positions from memory for an Epson Pro L 1300. The solution was explored in this forum post by others about a year ago: https://community.troikatronix...

I'm using the http based User Actors that are shared by @jandraka in the post and am having no joy. I know I have a connection (I can use PJLink with no problem and I can use the Epson Web Interface to control the projector.)in the post and am having no joy. I know I have a connection (I can use PJLink with no problem and I can use the Epson Web Interface to control the projector.)

I've tried both the non-password and password variations of the user actor (both with passwords programmed into the projector and with them cleared.) 

Reading this document: https://support.atlona.com/hc/... I think I need to send a hex string command to the projector to enable the ESC/VP protocol but I'm not sure how to do it. I should also note that the Hercules Setup Utility (instructions here: https://www.epson.eu/en_EU/faq...) works to send the TCP commands once I've sent the enabling hex string. 

I feel like I'm so close!
