Web remote "show black" will not go dark on main view

Christian333

A very good day to you.

I noticed a problem with Web Remote (0.9.7) in OpenLP (2.9.5).

When I switch to show black, the view under main does not go completely dark (screenshot: 1 normal → 2 show black).

In addition, when I click on show black again, the view does not become completely bright again (screenshot: 3 show black 2nd click).

Only switching to the next verse solves this problem (screenshot: 4 switch to next verse).

Is there any news in the meantime?

Unfortunately, the problem is still present even with the current version OpenLP (3.0.2) and Web Remote (0.9.10).

A very good day to you!

I have now found a solution or a temporary solution for myself.
It seems to be due to the new dimming function after the OpenLP 2.4.6 version.
Apparently the Web Remote doesn't wait for this and sends out the screenshot too early.
I fixed it for myself by changing line 947 in OpenLP\core\display\html\reveal.css from transition: all 1s ease to transition: none.
Now the dimming function no longer exists, but I don't necessarily need it.
Perhaps you could also add an option to deactivate this function?
Or find another way to transfer the image to the Web Remote.
I hope I can help others who use OpenLP in a similar way to me.

Christian333 thanks for reporting. I will look into it.

@Christian333 I've found the cause and fixed it. I expect it will be included in the next release of OpenLP.
