OpenLP 2.9.3 aka 3.0 Beta 2 OFFICIAL DISCUSSION

alsorrell

Alert text doesn't show - dark red background appears at bottom of screen, but no text. This worked OK in 2.4.6

IOS app - IOS 14.2 iphone 6, OLP 2.9.2, remote 0.9.5 on Windows 10 v2004

Neat , but not doing quite what the 3.0 doc says.

1- When selecting an item in a service, system immediately displays 1st slide of that item, but app doesn't automatically transition to the Slides

2-In Service mode, pressing up or down arrows at top generate a "User not authenticated message." even though no authentication ahs been requested in the remote settings.

3 - Once in the Slides section, the up/down arrows at top right change the slide, but only occasionally change the highlight (gray bar) to signify which verse is being displayed.

4 - Alerts have the same problem as noted above - no text although the dark red background is displayed.

Testing OLP 2.9.2 on Windows 10, Apache Open Office 4.1.8

Trying to run a Powerpoint .PPTX file. OLP recognizes Impress from Open Office and loads the file successfully. However, it displays the output on the primary (OLP) screen rather than on the secondary. Songs and images from the service appear correctly on the secondary. I also tried this with the current LibreOffice version of Impress and found the same issue.

Does Impress display correctly if you run it on it's own? It's been a while but I'm fairly sure it has it's own display config that needs to be set up.

Hi,

So happy to test this new version, a good job.

Here some feedback of my test.

Like alsorell, a loop option for video background in theme will be appreciate.the setting of the shadow color in theme seem doesn't work, it still black.The font in stage and chords view is too big (on a smartphone android with a web browser)The android app is working partially. I see the service, can change the song, but a black screen is displayed for the stage view and the live view (no chords view).In the remote control, I prefered the yellow background for the active slide (much more visible which slide is active).I don't understand yet how network stream is working.About the "subject" for the songs, I will prefered to see only the list of the songs on the subjects but it work.I can't see "pictures" in the library

We waited especially for the chords function. We like the new search engine in the bible and the transition between slides. We are using OLP for about 4 years and we are very happy to see the coming of the 3.0.

Tested on win10.

Thank you for your work. God bless you.

Ps: forgiving me for my english.

I figured I would do a clean install (Windows 10) of the beta version rather than have it overwrite data. Maybe that was a mistake. I backed up all my data and settings, then uninstalled 2.4.6. The installation of 2.9.2 seemed to go fine, but the program won't run. No worries, I thought. I'll just uninstall the beta and reinstall the old version. Now, that version doesn't run either. I get the -1 error which seems to be related to settings. I guess there must be settings that didn't get cleaned up when I uninstalled the programs. Any ideas? I might try to go through my registry and delete anything I see that is OpenLP related.

The install issue is definitely registry-related. I renamed Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\OpenLP and then was able to install and run 2.9.2. Now I just need to figure out how to fix the screen size issue.

There is a write up on how to downgrade from the Beta back to 2.4.6 and it includes removing the OpenLP folder from the registry and removing the Beta data directory. If you have your backup 2.4.6 data directory you can put that in place of the Beta directory to save yourself time.

I'm not able to find that write-up. I did get 2.9.2 working (I think), I just can't use it because I have the same problem as Sterwe with screen size. I can't access any menu options to try to fix it.

UPDATE: The oversized display issue might be fixed. I think the problem now is black boxes covering the screen. I think I can see a flash of the correct display each time I start the program.

ANOTHER UPDATE: I managed to find the menu by clicking near the top left of the screen. Still haven't figured out how to adjust the size of screen items or how to get rid of the black boxes.

ANOTHER UPDATE: I tried out the web remote access which works great! It's much faster than the old remote access. If I could just fix the display on my laptop, I'll be in good shape. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've tested the new Version with our church laptop. and i have a problem with my display, everything in the openlp window is too big. On my private Laptop everything is ok. I'm running Windows 10 2H2.
I tried the portable x64 & x32 Version.
Before I also tried the second alpha there was the same problem.
Here is picture of my issue:

Sterwe, Have you found a fix for this issue? I'm having the same problem.

I haven't seen this myself but do you have a high DPI monitor? Have you in the past changed the DPI settings?

Yes, I installed the actual Intel graphics driver (it was released this week), now the problem is solved.

We've got a Intel UHD 620 Graphics Card in our Church Laptop. Maybe it was Problem with Intel Cards

I do not have a high DPI monitor. I messed around with DPI and compatibility settings earlier today. I can make the OpenLP screen appear even bigger, but I can't make it smaller. My laptop resolution is 1920x1080 on a 13" screen. I have Windows 10 set to 150% (the recommended setting), but I set it at 100% for troubleshooting. I seem to have two choices for the OpenLP display -- really big, or even bigger.

Thank you. I also have the UHD 620 chipset. Unfortunately, Intel won't let me install the latest driver because it has not been validated by Lenovo for my computer. I'll have to try to get in touch with Lenovo. The last time I contacted them about out-of-date drivers, I got a huge run-around. Their tech support is not able to communicate with the department in charge of driver validation.

UPDATE: I manually installed Intel driver 27.20.100.9126 and was able to run OpenLP 2.9.2 with no issues.

Any ideas about how to fix the spacing irregularity in Bibles with superscript verse numbers? The verse numbers currently cause extra space above the line they appear in. I've played around with the line spacing in themes, but I haven't been able to even out the lines. Another new thing with 2.9.2 is the display of partial verses. My preference would be to revert to the behavior of 2.4.6 where a partial verse would not be displayed at the bottom of the slide but would automatically begin on the next slide instead.

Trying to create a Custom Stage view by following the current documentation, but not having any luck.

Is there a different way to create these views in this version? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I used to use the Custom Stage aswell for ou livestreaming for the Bibles, and now I can't. Could you please put the function back. Also how and where do we put the Custom View as it used to be in the plugins directory.

JohnM

The released Beta version was missing the

function. The latest development version has the

function and does work with the 2.4.6 version stage views with slight adjustments. We are working to get away from the

function and towards using a websocket to replace the `Poll` function.

I've been really enjoying the new Beta, thank you all for your hard work! I did notice that with the updated remote, my custom stage views that I created for my previous version don't work in the Beta, however they still work in the previous version.

Will this be updated in the future so we can create our own web views?

Thanks!

JohnM

Yes there will be an update. Version 2.4.6 used polling to update the stage views. There were a lot of issues with this approach. The released Beta did not have the polling feature, but polling has been added to the development versions since the released Beta.

At some point in the future support for polling will be removed...so if you are doing new development on custom stages you should consider using a websocket approach to replace the polling function.

I added a new 2nd monitor to my system - the setup I had before was a bit strange. Once the Impress screen setup was set, it performed correctly. Please ignore earlier comments re Impress.

Thanks,
