Importing from LiveWorship
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
LiveWorship stores your songs in a proprietary database format which OpenLP is
unable to access directly. You will first need to convert it to an XML file
file, which OpenLP will then be able to import. This can be done by downloading
Valentina Studio from `Valentina DB <https://www.valentina-db.com>`_. It is
available for both Windows, Linux and macOS. The free version is enough for
what is needed to convert the song database. After installing Valentina Studio,
open it.
The first time you open Valentina Studio you can enter register and get a serial
number (it is available for free) to get full access to Valentina Studio. You
can also just cancel or skip this step, which will open Valentina Studio in demo
mode, meaning it will only work for 10 minutes at a time, but that is enough for
converting a database.
Open :menuselection:`File --> Open Database` and find the song database file
you wish to convert. It will usually end with :file:`.vdb`, on Windows it will
usually be located in
:file:`C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\LiveWorship\Media Library`
This will open the song database. To dump the database content to XML, open
:menuselection:`File --> Open Database`. Select XML as :guilabel:`Output Format`
and :guilabel:`Structure And Records` for :guilabel:`Dump Content`. Select
:guilabel:`Dump Destination` and keep the encoding as :guilabel:`UTF-8` and save
the dump.
Your LiveWorship songs database has now been converted to an XML file. Run the
Song Importer in OpenLP, select :guilabel:`LiveWorship Database Dump`, and
locate the XML file you just created.
After clicking :guilabel:`Next` your import will be complete.
