3 years ago We have had this issue before, and if it's not on the compatibility list, then It is most likely not going work. How old is this TV? Have you tried to download and use the "Sony Virtual Remote" app? I believe it is available for IOS, Android and PC. It is based on the same technology as my API.
I've just found this library, and am hoping that it would work on KDL-52W5500. However, it seems not based on the compatibility list and this message I'm getting. To start with, perhaps I've got the registration wrong. I can cast media from the laptop to the TV via DLNA. When I look into Settings / Network / Renderer Access Control, where I can see the MAC-address of the laptop listed as Permission=On. Is this the only registration, or is there any other?
