Hi, yes, all is good - linked audio is transferring fine now.
All the operators at my church use Windows computers with OpenLP 2.4.6 and our transfer of linked audio now works fine if we set our OpenLP data folders to the same value. We have our d…
Hi all,My church has been using OpenLP for years (for lyrics, prayers, videos, powerpoints and photos) and it's brilliant, many grateful thanks to the developers; the software is a blessing.
The church is now thinking of using the "Linked Audio…
The computer team in my fellowship have used OpenLP, with videos, powerpoint, and images (jpgs, pngs) for 6 years on various Windows laptops (XP, 7 & 10) and OpenLP has always been rock-solid for us - never once failed.
The laptops are kept fai…
To solve this problem on the computer at my church, we changed the desktop colour scheme over to the Microsoft-supplied theme entitled "High Contrast #1". As the name of the theme suggests, this is a HIGH CONTRAST, vivid colour scheme; no…
The on-line manual takes a little reading but it will point you in the right direction; see the section on backing up files. Once you have backed up your files, you simply then reverse the process to get your files (songs, custom slides, themes, bib…
For powerpoints to keep running and changing automatically, powerpoint must be the active program. It’s OK to minimise powerpoint, that won’t stop it running but if you click on another program (e.g. if you click back onto OpenLP), then Powerpoint w…
OpenLP will stretch images automatically, but it always retains the correct image aspect ratio - it will not make the image go out-of-proportion. Examples: If you supply an image of size 800 x 600, and your projector screen is 1024x768, OpenLP will …
Hi Ed, don't panic, Win 8.1 takes a little getting used to.
Regarding that taskbar ... right-click on the taskbar and turn OFF the option “Show taskbar on all displays”. That should help a lot.
It might be best not to use autohide because it helps …
Good point Gushie
A quick check now on Google reveals some changes, in addition to spelling changes:http://betterbibles.com/2007/04/14/british-and-american-bible-version-differences/
To replace the broken laptop, my church purchased an Asus K55VD laptop as this seemed good value for money and included a dedicated graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce 610M). The computer came with windows 8 (64bit) but we updated to 8.1 before installin…
GoLight, are you using either VLC version 2.1.0 or 2.1.1? If so, I would uninstall VLC, delete any remaining VLC appdata, then do a clean install of VLC version 2.0.8. I have heard a number of VLC users (not OpenLP users) reporting video glitche…
Hi VideoPsalm ... that is food for thought :)
Dave, do ALL your laptops with INTEGRATED graphics cause that choppy video, or is it just the older laptops, or the ones with less memory?
Thanks,Steve
Many thanks for the tips. It is great to know that the Win8 + OpenLP + Office2013 work together.
Office2013 is expensive so I might try the 2007 Powerpoint Viewer first, although I suspect it will have limitations as Microsoft may be keen to sell …
Hi Pixi,
I have a pre-prepared Word document, with multi-columns already setup - this acts as a template document. Then, whenever I need a multi-column lyrics sheet, all I need do is use the "Copy" option at the top of the "Print Ser…
OpenLP will not translate books from one language to another. You need to provide your own bibles. There are some bibles available in different languages here: http://www.opensong.org/d/downloads
Glad it went well for you.
The advantage of saving everything in the service file, rather than calling items on-the-fly, is that you can store the service file onto a memory stick and take it with you, with everything you need. This means you can p…
This sounds like getting someone to drive a car and not showing them how to change gears. How about setting up a couple of training sessions for your "non-tech people", to show them some of the facilities within OpenLP.
Maybe we need a competition to see who can write the easiest user guide. Here's my entry:
Display first song by double-clicking on it
Step through verses by pressing DOWN-ARROW
At the end of the song, press T to turn off Text
