The Web Remote
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
OpenLP gives you the ability to control the :ref:`creating_service`. You also
|
|
have the ability to search for and add or display media from the
|
|
:ref:`library` or send an :ref:`alerts`, using a remote computer, netbook
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
The Web Remote was moved to being part of the core program in version 2.9.2.
|
|
The only thing you need to do is go into :ref:`configure`, select the Remote Interface
|
|
item int the menu on the left side of the Settings window then press the
|
|
Check for Updates button. If the Current version number is not the same as
|
|
Latest Version then press the Upgrade button. When the numbers match, press the
|
|
OK button at the bottom of the settings window.
|
|
|
|
Versions before 2.9.2
|
|
The first step is to make sure the Remote plugin is activated. You can accomplish
|
|
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`.
|
|
|
|
Open a web browser, type in the Remote URL you found in :ref:`remote_tab` and
|
|
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
|
|
OpenLP Remote.
