The Visual in Worship - openlp info

When the OpenLP program installs it creates a folder called 'Data'. To replace the list of songs on the inital install with my song database do the following.

1. Firstly download the new 'Data' folder from here,
http://www.pengelly.info/downloads-and-resources/
Click on the link to the data folder and 'save file'. This will ask if you want to download the 'zip' folder. Say yes and note where on your system it gets placed (probably your users 'downloads' folder)
You will need to 'unzip' that folder before you can use it. Ask me if you need help with this.

2. Open the Openlp program and on the menu at the top choose: Tools --> Open Data Folder.

This will open up a file browser window and it will show you where on your file system openlp is placing the 'data' folder. You will be looking at the contents of the data folder (which usually contains a list of 6 or 7 other folders called things like 'songs' 'themes' etc). NOW CLOSE THE OPENLP PROGRAM DOWN!

3. In the file browser, which shows the current openlp data folder, move up one directory level. This should mean that you then view the folder called 'data'. Using a right mouse click, rename that data folder to 'dataold'

4. Now copy the new downloaded 'data' folder into the same place as the renamed old data folder.

5. Restart openlp and if you've got it right (!) you should now have a longer list of songs (and more themes).

If you have problems don't feel bad, just post a comment/question on the blog below!

Note this song database can only legally be used when Churches have the appropriate CCLI licenses!! Please be legal as far as copyright is concerned!!

The Visual in Worship - Session 2

The second session is going to introduce you to 'worship presentation software'. There are many commercial and opensource alternative that work on windows, mac and linux.

We're going to look at an opensource (free) one that I've been experimenting with since Autumn 2013:
http://openlp.org/
It works with all three of those OS's mentioned - Go ahead and download/install it if you like.





OpenLP has nice 'remote control' capabilities using either an iphone/ipad/ipod-touch:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/openlp-remote/id730847052?ls=1&mt=8

(as often in the mac world the above is not free - $3.99!)

but the Android phone/tablet equivalent is, and I've used this sucessfully:

Note you're going to need a wifi network to allow the remote control device to communicate with your laptop; not a facility in most of our churches - yet!

Open LP database location

the Open LP db is located:

On Windows 7:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\openlp\data

On Ubuntu:

Dlink DGS-1224t switch vlans

Part 3.
OK I think I got the vlans basically doing what I wanted. NEXT, how to tag the vlans so I can  trunk two subnets from the cisco AP back to the switch. I wonder if having the DHCP 'feeds' to these two subnets from my router (pfsense) on two physical NICs is going to be possible/sensible. Maybe I need to trunk those two subnets on vlans right from the pfsense router, as well as from the switch to the AP??

I've set port 18 as trunking and made the two vlans overlap on it. hmmm. What's the tagging number?

Nb. I now have the management on a separate subnet


Part 2.
OK A little progress! With these settings I'm getting IP addresses DHCP'd to a client as I would expect, with the respective DHCP servers plugged into the first port of each vlan group (from the router).

What's the purpose of the management vlan in my case though - if vlan one subnet = the IP address of the device should I dispense with it? Otherwise it just seems to be wasting a port and means I can't get to the device unless I plug into port1??

192.168.11.254 = IP of device
vlan1 = management-lan - cannot be deleted. at least one portVID must be in VID1, i've elft that as port1
vlan11 = dhcp server for 192.168.11.x
vlan21 = dhcp server for 192.168.21.x
vlan31 = dhcp server for 192.168.31.x







Part 1.
What am I doing wrong with this thing?

the 3 vlans, 11,21,31, correspond to three subnets on my router, all serving dhcp. I've tried (I think) to remove most and all ports from vlan1 (management), but it won't allow that?? but I thought  ports could be in two vlans anyway?

I assumed that ports 1-12 would give a 192.168.11.x IP, 13-18 a 192.168.21.x address and the last 6 a 192.168.31.x IP, but that isn't happening, bizarly i occasionally get a 192.168.31.x address for a laptop on port 2!

getting bttv cards working for zoneminder

Is the card PAL or NTSC? Cherck the crystals:
The crystal(s) are the small shiny canisters near the large decoder chip. For PAL, this is marked 28.xxxMHz (where xxx are three digits). For NTSC, the canister should bear 35.xxxMHz (again, the xxx are three digits).

dvb tuner adaptor numbers moving around mythtv

Initially the TBS (DVB_T2 card) loaded as adpators 0 and 1; sometimes (hotboot?) however the Hauppage cards would beat the TBS to it. this of course screws up tuner assignments in mythtv.

Although option 2 (see below) seemed less of a hack i only got option 1 to work:

Option 1: Blacklisting some of the drivers then activating later in boot:

edit this file;

nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

adding

#stop the Hauppauge S2 video card loading before
#TBS T2 card has assigned its adaptor numbers:
blacklist cx8800
blacklist cx8802
blacklist cx88-alsa

then add 'modprobe [the above listed modules]' to the file /etc/rc.local which will be activated a few moments after the TBS drivers have loaded

#!/bin/sh -e
# rc.local
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
# By default this script does nothing.
 
modprobe cx8800
modprobe cx8802
modprobe cx88-alsa


exit 0

I have done back up copies of these two files: //server//home/markp/techincal/mythtv for future builds

This shows the names of the modules that are associated with pci hardware:
lspci -vnn

e.g. after compiling the TBS driver (see other posting):

04:00.0 Multimedia controller [0480]: Philips Semiconductors SAA7160 [1131:7160] (rev 03)

Option 2: Would this work?

create a /etc/modprobe.d/options-dvb.conf file
# TBS6280 PCI-e DVB-t2
options saa716x_tbs-dvb adapter_nr=0,1

Nope, resulted in only Nova S2 being seen and adaptor no.s v strange
