@Jonas88
Could you do me a favor and install openhab in a completely different directory and try it in that directory (on a completely clean installation).
iāll try that - maybe this evening.
I switched back to an old version and everything is working again.
Hi Tim,
i downloaded a fresh milestone 1 build of the 2.5 OH software to my macbook and placed the .kar in the addons folder.
i am waiting for 15 minutes now and nothing happened. Maybe itās an issue with the java runtime?
i am not quite sure what my macbook is running but my mac mini runs zulu.
anyway here is what the openhab console throws at me after installing the addon:

Hmm, Iāve just been trying to set up my TVs and I canāt seem to get both working. My bedroom TV works fine, but the living room TV (KD-49XF7003) doesnāt seem to want to configure. I did a port scan and found ports 2870, 13000, 56789, and 56790 open. I also canāt find anything in the TV settings about IP control. The TV is on;y a year or so old so I would have assumed that Simple IP was available on it. Have I bought a Bravia thatās too low end?
I tried to build it for 2.4 and gave up as your dependancies also had dependacies and they then in turn had even more. It was never ending. Will try again when I have some time to install 2.5 milestone 1
@tmrobert8 From my understanding 2.5 is far away from being stable. 2.5M1 is based on the old build systems, the core team is still working to get a stable build environment for 2.5, so 2.5M2 is still pending for a while and will significantly be different from 2.5M1 = new issues.
Wouldnāt it make sense to keep the binding on the 2.4 level until there is a more stable 2.5?
Yes - but again, the maven build for 2.4 is broken so I had really no choice in the matterā¦
For me it runs again in between. Iām able to build 3 different bindings when specifying -DskipChecks=true
Tell you what - I posted the source URL above. Download it and see if you can get it to work under 2.4 - let me know how you did it and Iāll switch back (I was starting to get org.eclipse library missing messages - which was confirmed in another thread somewhere that was to be expected and to switch to 2.5). Your mileage may vary however! 
Tim
do you still have the old files like build.properties (which got removed in the bnd environment)? I could give it a try
In fact Iām struggling to get a 2.5 env up ans running
Itās an older one - but you can take the meta files and combine them with the source code to get a complete picture
hmm, I canāt find a Sony bundle in
https://github.com/tmrobert8/openhab2-addons/tree/2.5-0604-01/bundles
or is that the wrong root dir?
At least I could build your bundle as of 10/2018:
ding dong - donāt know if it runs, but I was able to build it!

I used a 2.4 env with the old binding
deleted the src files
replaced ESH-INF
added all new package references to MANIFEST.INF
added resources/web to build.properties
and run mvn -DakipChecks=true clean install
good news, binding seems to work. Initially I get tons on exception, but it discovered a SclarWeb, a IRCC and a Dial device.

The Dial device stays OFFLINE - Communication Error: Error connecting to DIAL device (may need to turn it on manually): Forbidden
The IRCC device goes ONLINE.
The ScalarWeb device seems to work:
Power ON/OFF is already working, also Volume 
Iām confused on the IRCC channel. In the old binding I could send IRCC commands directly and it worked fine. Trying to do so results in an error:
Could not transform 'AAAAAgAAAMQAAABLAw==' with the file 'scalar-7fb57bd3dec0.map' : Target value not found in map for 'AAAAAgAAAMQAAABLAw=='
ok, it seems that there are symbolic names for the IRCC commands. I checked transform/scalar-7fb57bd3dec0.map and it contains the same values I use with the old binding. However, if I send āHomeā to the IRCC channel of the ScalarWeb device nothing happens.
I noticed that the Content xxx Status and App xxx Status channels turned into strings, which need to receive āstartā/āstopā - any reasons why changing that from switchable items (e.g. would be more consistent, just ON and OFF, but also requires way more space in PaperUI->Control)

Good news indeed. Can I ask you to be the official 2.4 maintainer? The reason being, Iām trying to get the source code into mergable shape and itās going to require the 2.5 bundling. Iāll let you know if I commit any changes in the code (which should be minimal outside the web portion) and you can build a 2.4 from it?
As to your issuesā¦
Should be correct - Sony is taking DIAL away from everything but blurays and the āForbiddenā seems to be the indicator when DIAL is no longer available.
You should be able to do it and itās probably an issue on my end. Iāll take a look but may need some debug logs from you. Let me look at the code first.
That is correct and is by design. A switch never really worked with the API. The API is command based and there wasnāt really a good way to tell what was currently running (ie set the state of the switch). I kinda found a way to handle it (which was why it was a switch to begin with) but that got broken later on. When I integrated AVRs into it - found out there is more statuses as well - so I changed it to match the underlying API.

Just looked at the manual for it and Iām not very hopeful as it doesnāt mention anything that seems like it can be automated. What you should do at this point is to download the sony sideview app and see if it discovers the TV. If it does and can control it - then the binding should be able to. If it does not find the TV - then itās very doubtful the binding will work
I definitely need you to turn on debug and give me the lines around this message.
Oh, the Sony Sideview app couldnāt find the TV. That sucks. Any idea what those other ports are used for? I feel like there must be something I can automate on the TV.
