Presentation Plug In

keith_brockbank

In the latest version of OpenLP the issue with vlc has been resolved and media is therefore much improved. However, the presentation plug in is not working, and when I try to reinstall it there is a crash, and the system reverts to showing the plug in as active but it still does not appear in the library. This is in MAC OS.

Is there an error message with the crash?

I did not notice one; but I have found a workaround.
I reran the first time wizard leaving the data options blank and the presentation plugin seemed to be working. Then I reloaded the data folder overwriting the blank with the last backup and everything now seems to be up-and-running.

keith_brockbank on a recent restart of OpenLP the presentation section has disappeared from the library again.

This is the content of the mesage I get when trying to reactivate the presentation plugin

According to the error message it seems OpenLP cannot access the file "/Users/keithbrockbank/Desktop/NLCC Service Plans & Materials/Giving slide QR code.pdf". Does that file exists, or is the access restricted?

keith_brockbank

The file is in the appropriate folder and not accees restricted, however I have now deleted it from OpenLP as we do not need it going forward, but still the presentation plugin does not work unless I re-do the first time wizard and check that the file is no longer in the OpenLP database.

I believe this is a new "feature" in macOS, where your application has to specifically request access to certain folders. It's something we're looking into.

raoul it just tries to mimic Windows 😊.

keith_brockbank

How come it is only this file that's a problem?

raoul

keith_brockbank It might be due to the fact that the file is automatically loaded (as opposed to going through the "open file" dialog).

keith_brockbank

Oh, that's strange, it wasn't set up to open automatically originally, might this have changed due to the upgrade to OpenLP?
