Video Output Solutions

Hi!

I've been attempting to convert my church from a buggy Windows installation with an old version of EasyWorship to a Linux setup with OpenLP. It's much more stable (assuming I'm using X11) and integrates well into our streaming setup with stage views. Thank you to those who have contributed to this fantastic free software! There's one factor that prevents me from pulling the trigger. Our projection system utilizes several other softwares/computers/etc that mix into the video that goes to the front projectors. OpenLP would be mainly used for lyrics. The computer setup is complicated in such a way that screen/window capture methods are unideal. Is there some way I've missed that I can mix OpenLP's output (into OBS, or similar) without the window OpenLP creates? I've experimented with stage views to that end, but they doesn't seem to carry background image/video, etc. Similar software create virtual webcams and/or NDI streams to fill this need. That would be ideal, but they don't seem to exist in OpenLP.

To summarize: How can I output OpenLP's full display into other software without using screen/window capture?

The window OpenLP creates is where the display is rendered. They cannot be separated.

Thank you for answering! I will pursue a capture card solution with a secondary computer. It's not ideal, but every other inch of this software fits our needs so attractively that I just have to make it work.

It's truly a blessing.

Hi,

A possible solution is to use OBS to capture the screen.

Then use obs-ndi OBS plugin to make the NDI stream available on network.

Then any computer on the network can connect to the NDI stream.

This is what we are using in our church.

Hope this help
