The Web Remote
==============
2011-12-29 15:19:40 +00:00
OpenLP gives you the ability to control the :ref:`creating_service`. You also
2012-01-06 13:19:34 +00:00
have the ability to search for and add or display media from the
2011-12-29 15:06:16 +00:00
:ref:`media-manager` or send an :ref:`alerts`, using a remote computer, netbook
2011-12-30 13:40:16 +00:00
or smartphone and a web browser. You can use the web remote to control the
entire service away from the main computer or, have the nursery or daycare send
an :ref:`alerts` message to the projection screen. This could also be used for a
guest speaker or worship team leader to control their own slides if needed.
2011-12-23 20:30:19 +00:00
The first step is to make sure the Remote plugin is activated. You can accomplish
2012-01-06 13:19:34 +00:00
this by following the instructions in the :ref:`plugin_list`. The second step is
to configure the settings you will use with the web browser. You can find these
instructions and settings in :ref:`remote_tab`.
2011-12-23 20:30:19 +00:00
2012-01-05 21:20:53 +00:00
Open a web browser, type in the Remote URL you found in :ref:`remote_tab` and
2015-09-12 12:29:14 +00:00
press the :kbd:`Enter` key. For this example we will use
\http://192.168.1.73:4316. You will then be presented with the home page of the
2011-12-23 20:30:19 +00:00
OpenLP Remote.
