OpenLP - Remote 2.0

Tim Bentley

About this app

OpenLP Android Client allows remote control of a running OpenLP client over a wireless network or Internet.

This is version 2 of the Android client and is work in progress. Not all functions have been developed yet but the delivered functions are tested.

This version of the client works with OpenLP 2.0 but is designed to support OpenLP 2.2 as it has SSL and user authentication.

OpenLP stands for “Open Source Lyrics Projection” and is presentation software developed for churches to provide a single easy to use interface for the projection needs of a typical worship service.
OpenLP has searchable databases of songs and Bible verses allowing them to be projected instantly or saved in a pre-prepared order of service file. Themes allow for a variety of presentation options and allow you to add attractive visuals to enhance your presentations. PowerPoint and OpenOffice presentations, videos and audio files can be run from within the program removing the need to switch between different programs. Alert messages can be displayed so the nursery or car park stewards can notify the congregation easily.

The following functions are supported:
- Select Address and Port of running OpenLP instance.
- Handle user authentication of updates
- Support SSL
- View all items in a service.
- Change the slide of a live item
- Make an item in a service live.
- Blank the display
- Issue an alert
- Support a graphical main view.

The following functions have not been ported yet:
- Search of item in databases
- Add to service or directly live

Ratings and reviews

App works great but i think the switcher buttons for "live display", "display black only", "display theme only" should not be hidden under a pop-up window but would be much more convenient to just have them at the top. Much faster access that way. Could be an option somewhere in the settings to choose to have it as pop-up or show all buttons.

This is superb, hope that I can work with the guys behind this app. Continue to improve and hopeful that this will be the standard app/software for all the churches in the world. God bless. Hope to have a feature that can chromecast in full screen 😊🙏

you really need to understand networking ip addressing etc to set up. in reading the negative reviews i understand why. the issues with not connecting it takes some effort that average person is not going to be able to solve. and you are not going to be able to get much help when it is free program. but once those problems are solved it is GREAT program
