Remote Viewing (URL)

redtogreybeard

Hi, we have 2 versions of OpenLP on 2 different PC's. On the 2.4.6 version I can go to Settings/Configure OpenLP/Remote and when I select Live View's URL and bring it in on any device, including smart tv, I get the output as it would to a projector.
The other version is 3.0.2 when I try and do the same, for live view, I get an output that is a copy of the edit screen (menu on the left, preview and Live view in the middle and themes etc on the right) but NOT the live output as you'd see it on a projector. If I pick the other view I get the whole song as it appears above the preview, where you can manually select a verse.
I wonder what I am doing wrong.
Also if it be got to work as in version 2.4.6, I would then like to share it beyond the local URL. Possible application:
Carol singing and the like. Open LP origination would run on one device, mobile data, e.g. laptop (not sure if there is an OpenLP for Android - full version, not remote control to OpenLP somewhere) and the live output would be as URL on peoples mobile devices, using mobile data, or it might have to be a case of adevices published wifi.
Thanks for your thoughts and help

In some ways, the remote stuff has not functionally changed between 2.4.6 and 3.0.2.

Things that have changed:

New web remote that is decoupled from OpenLP itself
Use websockets rather than a poll to communicate (makes things faster)

Things that have not changed:

The web remote is still available on the same port
The web remote is still available over your network, assuming you have set your network up correctly

Some idiosyncrasies:

The live view is a dynamically updated screenshot of whatever your display screen is set to. If you only have a single monitor at the time, you'll see your desktop. If your screen settings are incorrect, you'll probably also see your desktop.

My church uses the web remote a lot, and they moved to 3.0.2 without any real issues.
