IMAGES Image Plugin:

The image plugin provides displaying of images. One of the distinguishing features of this plugin is the ability to group a number of images together in the service manager, making the displaying of multiple images easier. This plugin can also make use of OpenLP's "timed looping" feature to create a slide show that runs automatically. In addition to this, images from the plugin can be used to override the current theme's background, which renders text-based items like songs with the selected image as a background instead of the background provided by the theme. See the section on adding_images.

MEDIA Media Plugin:

The media plugin provides playback of audio and video.

CUSTOM Custom Slide Plugin:

The custom slide plugin provides the ability to set up custom text slides that can be displayed on the screen the same way songs are. This plugin provides greater freedom over the songs plugin.

This plugin tracks the usage of songs in services.

ALERTS Alerts Plugin:

The alert plugin controls the displaying of nursery alerts on the display screen. See alerts for more information

REMOTE Remote Plugin:
