OpenLP 2.9.3 aka 3.0 Beta 2 OFFICIAL DISCUSSION

Threep

Hi,

We installed now the beta in the church win10 pc. Here some feedback :

The option to show in preview window the item cliqued one time in the service list is a good idea, but for videos, an option will be welcome to not start the playing in the preview.

We can see the video playing in the preview window, but not in the direct window (never).

The sort of the list in the media library is strange, no way to get it well. We have a lot of videos named with a number and a name like this :

000-name

001-.name

Until 270, and we don't have the good sort. It's very uncomfortable.

This post to complete my first one.

Blessings

Hi,

Great to see the new beta. However, I'm having problems getting it going on my iMac running macOS 10.15.7. When I try to start the software I get a warning saying "There is a mismatch between screens and screen settings. OpenLP will try to automatically select a display screen, but you should consider updating the screen settings."

The software then just hangs and needs a Force Quit. I have a second screen connected to the iMac via a USBC to HDMI dongle so I tried turning that off but still the same issue. Without it starting, I cannot change the screen settings.

I tried running with from the command line with the debug function and got the following text in Terminal

Any ideas?

Custom Stage Views and OpenLP Beta 2.9.2

There is now a custom stage.js file that will allow the current Beta to run custom stage views. The new file replaces the polling function with a web-socket function and uses the new version of the API.

The file is located here.

V2.9.2 problem with theme text with outline - outline is much thicker than in 2.4.6 - not honoring font selection?

Using the same theme on a 1280x720 output screen, the outline thickness is MUCH thicker (unusable) under 2.9.2 (Windows 10 20H2 19042.746). Note: This thickening only occurs when the text has the BOLD

Text font is CMG Sans Medium 40pt. with 1 pt outline; Footer is CMG Sans Extra Light 8pt. As you can see in the pictures below, the spacing is off and I'm not sure the fonts are the same. Fonts are .ttf and the directory failed to attach. They can be downloaded for free from https://www.churchmotiongraphics.com/free-worship-media/

Screenshots - top is V2.9.2, bottom is V2.4.6

V2.9.2 on Windows 10 20H2 Unable to enter negative geometry coordinates for single screen

In OpenLP 2.4.6 on Windows 10, it was possible to create a "phantom" screen by using the geometry override on a single screen system. This allowed the use of the web remote to pass the image to a program such as OBS or vMix from a single-screen system such as a laptop without taking over the controlling screen. I haven't been able to find a way to do this in V2.9.2. Is there a way to achieve the same effect under V2.9.2?

JohnM

@alsorrell I am looking at your Font Outline issue. Can you verify that you only have the font outline enabled and do not have the font shadow enabled? Working on the assumption that you do not have the font shadow enabled, I think I can see the same issue on other fonts....makes it easier to duplicate and takes the blame away from the specific font....but that does not mean it is easier to fix!

I'll open an issue if one isn't already open so this can get some attention.

Thanks for letting us know.....I would never have seen this as my fonts are mostly double the size you use.

We've been using the Beta for several weeks and have been very happy with it. The only weird thing we're seeing is that PDFs are not sizing to fit the screen (see below). My resolutions are at 1920x1080. I don't remember this being a problem in 2.4.6. Right now, I'm compensating by reducing my screen resolution down to 720 and that helps but then I have to adjust font sizes in my themes. Thanks for all the dedication to this project!! God Bless!!

@ohn M -

Yes - only font outline is on, no shadow - but please also notice the large discrepancy in the spacing as well.

Thanks,

Song window is not properly sorted in V2.9.2

OpenLP 2.9.2 on Win 10 V20H2

V2.4.6 sorts the song list window correctly by title. V2.9.2 does not, even after a Tools->Songs->Re-Index. V2.9.2 was done as an upgrade over 2.4.6

2.4.6

2.9.2

JohnM

@alsorrell Did you try the Title search in Songs? And does it do the same thing?

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.

alsorrell

@JohnM - regarding Song sort order:

In v2.9.2, the following searches display as shown above: Entire song, Titles, Lyrics, In 2.4.6 all of those display in correct sorted order. Note - Some parts of the title list DO seem to be sorted correctly in 2.9.2, but most are not. I can provide songs.sqlite (2,230KB) if that would help.

The following cause the list to be reordered by the item searched: Authors (by 1st name), topics, themes,

CCLI# order is weird - see below:

JohnM

@Hitratech Look at the Feb 7 post in this thread from me. It will take you to a zip file that contains a new stage.js file that works with the Beta version. The example is a simple font color change for the next verses, but it should help get you started again.

The other point to keep in mind is that your custom stages go in the "stages" directory in your data directory.

If you need any other help with custom stages, just ask and I may be able to help....mind you I am not an expert, just a user that users stages every Sunday.

Hi, I got a question about beta1: Are chords in song sheets already supported?

I only found it mentioned in the help manual: https://manual.openlp.org/configure.html?highlight=chords

NLACav

I'm having a slight issue with 2.9.2 / win10 home 20h2 (fresh reinstall on formatted drive) / intel i3 5020u / intel hd graphics 5500 (latest drivers from intel) / Lenovo Thinkpad g70-80.

My issue is that when I first load a song or a Bible verse or slide or really anything it shows the desktop instead of the background then loads the background from the theme about a second later loading progressively down the screen. after the first load of everything except the slides it won't do it again but if I edit a slide and load it, it will do it again.

Has this been experienced by anyone else and have you found a fix? Is this fixed in development versions?

Log file attached.

@NLACav Sounds similar to our issue with PDF presentations. The presentations do not size correctly to the screen and the background around it is whatever the current theme is. There seems to be something weird with visuals overall in 2.9.2. Really looking forward to the fixes @JohnM

JohnM

@joe I honestly don't remember if chords were already in the Beta or not....I know if you can find the latest build they are working in it.

JohnM

@NLACav Are you talking about the the service reloading when you add something to it? If so yes I see it on my windows machine. Never thought anything of it.

No what is happening is that the song lyrics or scripture or slide contents will load as if the background is transparent (the windows desktop wallpaper shows behind the words) then the right background loads behind the words starting at the top of the screen and going down.

Testing out the preview on Windows 10, here are my findings

Using the Live Stream feature, i set it up to use OBS Virtual Cam. When I started my OBS couldn't see anything, in trying to edit the theme, it gave this error.

b. When searching for bible verses using the text search feature, the bible translation doesn't show up even when OpenLP is set to display dual bible. As seen in the image below, the selection shows KJV and Thai KJV but only the Thai Bible is Displayed
