|
|
a group of images, verses, or the lyrics in a song. This control timer is
|
|
also accessible on the :ref:`using_timer`
|
|
|
|
|
|
Service Item Wrapping
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
**End Slide:**
|
|
Up and down arrow keys stop at the top and bottom slides of each Service item.
|
|
You will need to use the :kbd:`Right Arrow` key or the mouse to move to the
|
|
next Service Item.
|
|
|
|
**Wrap Slide:**
|
|
Up and down arrow keys wrap around at the top and bottom slides of each
|
|
Service item, eg: When you reach the last slide of a song or verse and
|
|
:kbd:`Down Arrow` you will be back on the first slide. Likewise if you are on
|
|
the first slide and :kbd:`Up Arrow` you will wrap-around to the last slide of
|
|
the song, images or Bible verses.
|
|
|
|
**Next Slide:**
|
|
Up and down arrow keys advance to the next or previous Service Item from the
|
|
top and bottom slides of each Service Item. As long as you have your songs and
|
|
verses in order, you can use the :kbd:`Down Arrow` to move through your
|
|
service from start to finish. Using this setting makes it possible to use a
|
|
presentation remote controller.

Data Location
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
If you wish to change the default location of where OpenLP stores its data, you
|
|
can enter a custom location here.
|
|
|
|
|buttons_open| **Browse for a custom data location**
|
|
Clicking this button will open the open file dialog and allow you to select ability
|
|
new location for the Data directory.
|
|
|
|
|buttons_revert| **Revert:**
|
|
Clicking this button will erase your changes and revert to the default data
|
|
location.
|
|
|
|
Display Workarounds
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
**Ignore Aspect Ratio**
|
|
Selecting this option will allow service items to be displayed as it was originally
|
|
formated without regard for how the screen is formated.
|
|
|
|
**Bypass X11 Window Manager:**
|
|
Linux and other X users may need to try toggling this flag if the main display
|
|
window is causing them problems. For example with this unset, KDE users may
|
|
find the main display window disappears if they switch windows. Ubuntu users
|
|
using the Unity interface may find the main screen is corrupted if set. GNOME
|
|
Shell users may find the window doesn't fill the whole screen if unset. As it
|
|
appears to affect different versions and distributions differently, this
|
|
setting has been added, rather than try and work it out programmatically.
|
|
|
|
**Use alternating row colors in lists:**
|
|
Using alternating row colors in most cases makes it easier for the human eye
|
|
to overview a list of items. Uncheck to disable.
|
|
|
|
**Disable display transparency**
|
|
Selecting this option prevents the Live display from being transparent.
|
|
|
|
Proxy Server Settings
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
You can select a proxy server if needed. Your network administrator will know
|
|
if this is necessary. In most cases this will not be needed.
|
|
|
|
**No proxy**
|
|
Select this option if you do not want to use a Proxy Server.
|
|
|
|
**Use system proxy**
|
|
Select this option if you want to use your computers default Proxy Server.
|
|
|
|
**Manual proxy configuration**
|
|
Select this option if you want to setup the Proxy Server manually. The
|
|
remaining options are only active if you select the Manual proxy
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
**HTTP:**
|
|
Enter the HTTP: address for your proxy server followed by the port to be
|
|
used on your proxy server. Please use the `120.002.168.064:4000` format.
|
|
|
|
**HTTPS:**
|
|
Enter the HTTP: address for your proxy server followed by the port to be
|
|
used on your proxy server. Please use the `120.002.168.064:4000` format.
|
|
|
|
**Username:**
|
|
Please enter your username if a username is required by you proxy server.
|
|
Leave this blank if your proxy server does not require user authenication.
|
|
|
|
**Password:**
|
|
Please enter your password if a username and password is required by you
|
|
proxy server. Leave this blank if your proxy server does not require
|
|
user authenication.

|
|
|
To choose which monitor you want OpenLP's Live display on, select the
|
|
appropriate monitor. If only one screen is displayed your system has
|
|
determined you only have one display it can output to. If you are
|
|
unsure about what display to use for you Live display select the
|
|
:guilabel:`Identify Screens` button.

|
|
of the display output using the :guilabel:`X`, :guilabel:`Y`, :guilabel:`Width`
|
|
and :guilabel:`Height` values.
|
|

Remote Interface
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
OpenLP gives you the ability to control the :ref:`creating_service` or send an
|
|
:ref:`alerts` from a remote computer through a web browser. This could be useful
|
|
for a nursery or daycare to display an :ref:`alerts` message or, use it as an
|
|
interface to control the whole service remotely by a visiting missionary or
|
|
worship team leader.
|
|
|
|
Stage view gives you the opportunity to set up a remote computer, netbook or
|
|
smartphone to view the service being displayed in an easy to read font with a
|
|
black background. Stage view is a text only viewer.
|
|
|
|
The remote feature will work in any web browser that has network access whether
|
|
it is another computer, a netbook or a smartphone. You can find more information
|
|
about this feature here: :ref:`web_remote`.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** To use either of these features, your computers will need to be on the
|
|
same network, wired or wireless.

|
|
and use them.
|
|
|
|
Finding your IP address
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
If the Remote or Stage view URL are not showing you can manually find these
|
|
settings. To find your projection computer's IP address use these steps below.
|
|
|
|
**Windows:**
|
|
|
|
Open *Command Prompt* and type::
|
|
|
|
C:\Documents and Settings\user>ipconfig
|
|
|
|
Press the :kbd:`Enter` key and the output of your command will display the
|
|
adapter IP address. The IP address will always have a format of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
|
|
where x is one to three digits long.
|
|
|
|
**Linux:**
|
|
|
|
Open *Terminal* and type::
|
|
|
|
linux@user:~$ifconfig
|
|
|
|
Some Linux systems will require the full path::
|
|
|
|
linux@user:~$/sbin/ifconfig
|
|
|
|
Press the :kbd:`Enter` key. This will display a fair amount of technical
|
|
information about your network cards. On most computers, the network card is
|
|
named "eth0". The IP address for your network card is just after "inet addr:" in
|
|
the section with your network card's name. The IP address will always have a
|
|
format of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where x is one to three digits long.
|
|
|
|
**OS X 10.6 or 10.5**
|
|
|
|
From the Apple menu, select :menuselection:`System Preferences --> View --> Network`.
|
|
In the Network preference window, click a network port (e.g., Ethernet, AirPort,
|
|
modem). If you are connected, you'll see its IP address under "Status:".
|
|
|
|
With these two settings written down, open a web browser in the remote computer
|
|
and enter the IP address followed by a colon and then the port number, ie:
|
|
192.168.1.104:4316 then press enter. You should now have access to the OpenLP
|
|

Available Controllers
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
OpenLP has the ability to import OpenOffice Impress or Microsoft PowerPoint
|
|
presentations, and use Impress, PowerPoint, or PowerPoint Viewer to display and
|
|
control them from within OpenLP. Please remember that in order to use this
|
|
feature you will need to have one of the above-mentioned applications installed,
|
|
due to the fact that OpenLP uses these application to open and run the
|
|
presentation.
|
|
|
|
Support of PDF is bundled with OpenLP on macOS and Windows. On Linux you will
|
|
need to install :file:`mupdf` (recommended) or :file:`ghostscript`.
|
|
|
|
Advanced
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
**Allow presentation application to be overridden:**
|
|
With this option selected, you will see *Present using* area with a dropdown
|
|
box on the Presentations toolbar in the Library :ref:`library-presentations` which gives you the

PowerPoint options
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|

|
**Clicking on a selected slide in the slidecontroller advances to next effect:**
|
|
When this is enabled it is possible to go to the next effect of a slide by
|
|
clicking the slide in the slidecontroller. The default behavior is to restart
|
|
the slide.
|
|
|
|
**Let PowerPoint control the size and position of the presentation window (workaround for Windows 8 scaling issue):**
|
|
Windows 8 and 10 can on computers with multiple monitors use scaling to make
|
|
windows look the same size on different monitors. Unfortunately this can
|
|
cause issues with how OpenLP places and resizes the PowerPoint presentation
|
|
window. Check this box to enable the workaround which let PowerPoint control
|
|
the presentation window. When you enable this you must setup PowerPoint to
|
|
present to the correct monitor.
