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:`media-manager` 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 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://192.168.0.101:4316. You will then be presented with the home page of the
|
|
OpenLP Remote.

|
|
Service Manager
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Clicking on :guilabel:`Service Manager` will display the service item list from
|
|
the :ref:`creating_service`.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: pics/web_remote_service.png
|
|
|
|
Clicking on any item in the Service Manager will immediately take you to the
|
|
Slide Controller.
|
|
|
|
You will find the following buttons throughout the web remote interface.
|
|
|
|
|web_remote_home| The home button is found on most of the pages in the top
|
|
left hand corner of the remote interface and clicking it will take you back
|
|
to the home page of the OpenLP remote.
|
|
|
|
|web_remote_refresh| When changes are made on the main computer clicking on
|
|
refresh will show the changes in the remote viewer.
|
|
|
|
|web_remote_blank| Clicking this button will blank the display on the
|
|
projector screen. Clicking on an item in the Service Manager will
|
|
automatically show the item on the screen.
|
|
|
|
|web_remote_show| If the screen is blanked, clicking on this button will
|
|
unblank the display.
|
|
|
|
|web_remote_previous| This button will move you upward through the Service
|
|
Manager and Slide Controller.
|
|
|
|
|web_remote_next| This button will move you downward through the Service
|
|
Manager and Slide Controller.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** The buttons Blank, Show, Prev and Next are conveniently located on
|
|
the top and the bottom of the remote interface to help eliminate scrolling.
|
|
|
|
Slide Controller
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
After you click on an item in the Service Manager you will be taken to the Slide
|
|
Controller interface.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: pics/web_remote_slide.png
|
|
|
|
You will find the verses displayed as they appear in the live view on the main
|
|
computer and the first verse will be displayed on the projection screen. You can
|
|
use the :guilabel:`Prev`, :guilabel:`Next` or click on each verse using the
|
|
mouse to display them.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** The remote interface replicates the OpenLP software. When displaying
|
|
images, clicking on a single image in the service manager will display it
|
|
immediately. The first image in a group of images and the first slide in a
|
|
presentation will also be displayed immediately when clicked on in the
|
|
web remote service manager.
|
|
|
|
Alerts
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
You can send an alert to the projection screen by entering the text in the box
|
|
and clicking on :guilabel:`Show Alert`. The alert will be displayed as you have
|
|
it configured in :ref:`configure_alerts`.
|
|

|
|
|
Search
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Using the search function gives you the ability to search for a particular media,
|
|
add it to the service or display it immediately.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: pics/web_remote_search.png
|
|
|
|
Clicking on :guilabel:`Songs` will display your media options to search through.
|
|
Click on the media type that you want to search.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: pics/web_remote_search_choice.png
|
|
|
|
Enter the text you want to search for. You can click :guilabel:`Search` or press
|
|
:kbd:`Enter` on the keyboard. If you do not enter any text to search for, you
|
|
will be presented with your entire list of media for the selected media.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** When searching :guilabel:`Bibles` media you must enter the exact name,
|
|
chapter, verse or verses. Searching :guilabel:`Songs` will search titles and
|
|
lyrics with the text used.
|
|
|
|
For this example we are searching "Songs" and the word "Jesus". The results will
|
|
be displayed below the search button.
|
|
|
|

After finding the song you searched for, clicking on the song will bring up the
|
|
next screen.

|
|
the :ref:`creating_service`.
