My Videopaslm files are in VPC but OpenLP is looking for json. Help how do I fix that.

Are you sure your looking at videopsalm songbooks? They are normally located at C:\Users\Public\Documents\VideoPsalm\Songbooks

Chaos_99 · August 2017

Yes, I made sure that's the folder it was looking in. Attached is a photo.

Maybe things changed in recent versions of VideoPsalm. I'll have a look when time allows.

Hi again, sorry for the late response. I finally had time to look at this and install VideoPsalm. In my install all songbooks are json files. Are you running an older VideoPsalm version? If so try upgrading.

Hello. Thank you SO much for this wonderful software and forum. May God bless you for that. I know this thread is old but wanted to pursue the subject. I have VideoPsalm version 1.23 dated 11-9-2019. I would like to be able to import songbooks and Bibles from VideoPsalm into OpenLP. I am looking in the path C:\Users\Public\Documents\VideoPsalm\Songbooks. The file extensions are definitely .vpc not .json. The Bibles are also .vpc files. When I try to import into OpenLP it looks for .json files and will not recognize the newer .vpc file format. Will this be fixed in the next release of OpenLP?

Any chance you could share one of these vpc songbooks?

Hi tgc,

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I am attaching a Bible file. They too are vpc files. I tried a long shot and downloaded an old 2016 version of VideoPsalm hoping it might pull the older json versions of the files down. After uninstalling the the 1.23 version of VideoPsalm I installed the old 2016 version. I then went to C:\Users\Public\Documents\VideoPsalm\Bibles and the file format was still in the vpc format.

I was unable to upload it here so please visit this link for the vpc KJV Bible file.

All of the song and Bible files are now in this vpc format. Thanks again for your kind help.

Just had a quick look at the vpc file. It is a password protected zip file which contains a JSON file. I assume the songbooks are the same. So unless there is a way to know the password or convert the vpc into the know JSON format, there is not much that can be done... :-(

Thanks tcg. Brilliant work. I thank you for your kindness in helping out. At least I know what's going on now.

Would it be possible for you to share a vpc songbook file? Would be interesting to see if it really is encrypted as well.... :-)

Hi tgc. Here you go. Thanks.

would there be a way to extract the password from the VideoPsalm programming?

I've put a question to the Videopsalm people. My files are a mix of .json and .vpc, seemingly randomly assigned. I imagine the encryption protects missionaries in closed countries subject to scrutiny of their computers and downloads.
I was completely wrong- VPC is a Compressed Videopsalm file - un-check compressed in the songbook's configuration, and it will save as a .json!

@bilkie I don't think you was wrong. you can un-check only unprotected songbook or bible ...

My Videopaslm files are in VPC.
