is there any way to either convert v1 service plans to v2 or are there older installs for both windows and linux still available? Our church admin system can export a service plan in OpenLP v1 but not v2<br>Thanks

All previous versions of OpenLP are on https://get.openlp.org/<br><br>I don't recall being able to open v1 service files in v2, to be honest. I could be wrong, 2.0 was released such a long time ago.<br>

Sounds like you need a converter utility. If it were me, I'd create my own after studying the v1 and v2 file types. But I'm a Windows-only guy (sad!) so my coding would be of no use to you.<br><br>Tip: I've looked at the v2 .osz[l] files before, and they're basic .zip files with images &amp; media &amp; json text. The .oszl files reference external media rather than embed it.

The old 1.x service files were SQLite version 2 files, which I doubt you'll be able to find a reader for. Ubuntu might still have the old command line program. <br>

Thanks for the comments - we are wanting to use a service exported from our church management system. I seems there is now partial support for OpenLP 2 so I can get the songs through which is the main thing I wanted. The link to the old versions might well be useful though so might give that a try<br>Thanks all

@PetroMzizi, I just got an update from the dev's mailing list that you should know about (https://lists.openlp.io/pipermail/openlp-dev/2017-September/000308.html):<br><br>When the next version of OpenLP comes out, it will upgrade certain settings and will not be backwards-compatible with older versions. This will likely negatively impact you, since you're exporting an old-version service file from your church management system. I suggest contacting them and letting them know about the coming change.<br><br>In the meantime, either don't upgrade or else run the new version in portable mode (with the '-p' arg).
