Why does PowerPoint presentations not advance automatically
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The reason that PowerPoint does not advance automatically is that it can only do
|
||||
so when it has the focus. But when using OpenLP for controlling presentation,
|
||||
OpenLP has the focus. So in order to make PowerPoint advance automatically the
|
||||
focus must be switched to PowerPoint, which can be done by clicking the
|
||||
Powerpoint-icon in the taskbar once the PowerPoint presentation has opened.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you are using Gnome, you need to install the GStreamer backend for Phonon. On

@:~$ sudo aptitude install phonon-backend-gstreamer

If you are using KDE, you need to install the Xine backend for Phonon. On Kubuntu

you would install the ```phonon-backend-xine``` package::

@:~$ sudo aptitude install phonon-backend-xine
|

If you know which audiovisual system you are using, then install the appropriate

backend.

phonon-backend-vlc may also be worth trying on some systems.

Downgrade guide (how to restore a backup)
|
||||
-----------------------------------------
|
||||
In some cases new versions of OpenLP can contain bugs that was not discovered
|
||||
during testing, which in some cases can mean that OpenLP cannot function
|
||||
probably and the only way out is to downgrade to the previous version.
|
||||
|
||||
Since the OpenLP 2.2 release, new versions of OpenLP always ask if a backup
|
||||
should be made of the data on the first run. It is always recommend to create
|
||||
this backup, since OpenLPs data format often changes between versions, which
|
||||
means that older OpenLP versions cannot read the data created by newer versions.
|
||||
In case of downgrading this backup can be restored. To perform a downgrade
|
||||
follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
#. Open OpenLP and in the menu go to :menuselection:`Tools --> Open Data` Folder
|
||||
to open the current data folder in a fileexplorer. If OpenLP cannot open due
|
||||
to a bug see :ref:`data_folder`.
|
||||
#. Keep the fileexplorer window open and close OpenLP
|
||||
#. Uninstall OpenLP and install the old version (if you have not done this
|
||||
already). Do not run OpenLP when the installation completes.
|
||||
#. In the fileexplorer go up one folder-level. You should now see a lot of
|
||||
folders, find the folders that starts with ``openlp``. Depending on how many
|
||||
upgrades you have done you will see some folders looking like
|
||||
``openlp-20160128-185424``. These folders are the backups made by OpenLP on
|
||||
upgrade. The numbers are a timestamp that you can use to find the backup with
|
||||
the you wish to restore.
|
||||
#. Rename the ``openlp`` folder to ``openlp-broken-update`` or similar.
|
||||
#. Rename the backup folder you wish to restore to ``openlp``.
|
||||
#. Start OpenLP and watch it load your restored data.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: This does not restore your settings!
