PRESENTATIONS Presentation Plugin

The presentation plugin provides the ability to show presentations using a number of different programs. The choice of available presentation programs is available to the user in a drop down box. Note Presentation plugin is disabled on MAC.

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.

SONGUSAGE SongUsage 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

The remote plugin provides the ability to send messages to a running version of OpenLP on a different computer via a web browser or through the remote API. See the section on remote_tab.
