Network Projector not picking up signal

michaelbishop

Linux Mint 21.3 OpenLP 3.0.2 (and the same issue is seen on the 3.1.1 Flatpak)

We have a brand new Epson EB-W49 projector which is recognised by the Projector Manager in OpenLP. I can connect to the projector and see all the info. The PJlink password seems to be working and I can see all the projector input sources available in OpenLP. However no signal goes to the projector output from OpenLP (the projector is set to display what is coming from the LAN but says there is no signal source).

I have looked through this forum. Anything else I can try?

The projector information window in OpenLP shows the following:

From looking around further it seems that I will need additional software so that my Linux box picks up the network projector as a virtual display. This functionality seems to be available for Windows. Is anyone out there successfully displaying to a wired projector on Linux?

I've only ever used a projector with a physical cable running from the PC. The Projector Manager in OpenLP is just for switching the projector on or off.

I saw someone online suggesting this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-network-displays
