Help please

I updated openlp a few months ago and now my settings are all undone my setup is a laptop connected to a tv by hdmi cord. Everything worked fine before the update, now I’m having to tweak it every Sunday before service; this Sunday we didn’t use it at all because it kept identifying the laptop as screen 2. I’ve been combing through the manual and the forums in hopes of finding answers and haven’t had any luck. Just to be clear the laptop is set to extend and other apps like bibleshow are working fine and displaying correctly.

Nikkims will you please give guidance on how to specify TV dimensions.

OpenLP keeps using old values that it was given.
It's completely magnified and does not fit on screen. It's so big I cannot see the user input buttons [next] or [finished] or [back]

Please help me

I'm presuming you're running Windows? Windows 10? Did you set your monitor settings (plug in TV, Windows display settings, extend desktop, etc) before or after running OpenLP?

Yes, I always have it set before I open anything but since I updated openlp it’s been giving me trouble every sunday

Okay so I’ve gotten my last problem fixed somewhat now, I’ve a new one! As last time I have my settings and screens in the right position but openlp is still identifying my laptop as display 2 so some of my live content is being displayed in the top right of the laptop instead of up on the tv in the sanctuary. Windows and bibleshow both see and identify the tv as monitor 2. I’ve been able to get my videos to display beautifully but my images are still not displaying correctly.

Using Windows 10.

Input the wrong TV dimensions during first installation.

Tried Uninstall and reinstall but OpenLP will not give prompt to input proper screen dimensions of TV.

Tried using perform first install options but OpenLP does not use the dimensions provide.

What can I do specify the TV screen dimensions?
