HX400V woes

My 12 year old 400V got to a stage where it was impractical to use. The error message common to this model and the screen had lines on. I bought a used 400V in lovely condition.

I've connected successfully to my router (wi fi) and I have transferred images off the camera SD card using IEM app. I came to start a remote control shoot and got a message saing the remote app (and others) are discontinued,

Spent a frustrating half hour on live chat, got nowhere.

Does anyone know of a work around? I have two other Sony cams which connet remotely - Can I transfer the remote app off either of those? Or, is there a non-SOny app to control the camera for shooting?

I am really angry they pulled these services. Their product support is awful. I know my cams are a little old, but this is planned obsolescence. Appreciate any help on this. Keith
