What you could do is click into the schedule with the right mouse button, then click "Copy Titles". Then open the instant text and paste the content of the clipboard into the editor (press Ctrl+V or open the context menu with the right mouse button and select "Paste").

SongBeamer always starts in full screen mode. You could use a macro to set the window style to restored, and then set the desired position. Save the following macro to a file (for example startup.sbpas): Application.MainForm.WindowState := wsNormal; Application.MainForm.SetBounds(0, 0, 400, 300&...

There is no official function for that. But you could use SongBeamer Script (Tools->Macros...) to manually set the position of the presentation window. Paste the following code into the Macro window and start the macro using F9: Presentation.Form.SetBounds(400, 300, 1024, 768); // left top w...

The image will probably not look very good when using a VGA splitter, because the screens have a different resolution. So the image would have to be scaled by the screens.

You can add a video to the schedule and select "Play video in background" when you open it. This will work for the bible, too. But you cannot set a video as the default bible background.

There is no built-in support for that at the moment. I will need to do some research before I can tell for sure how much work it would be. But I think it could be done relatively soon. Another option is to synchronize two instances of SongBeamer. You can run them on the same PC or on a second PC usi...

The limitation is that SongBeamer cannot play a video on both screens at the same time. But you should be able to play the video only on the second monitor.

You can create a separate subfolder for each of these groups. We tried to use a database, but that slowed down everything, because our own full text search is extremely optimized.

The intention for this folder was for background videos. This is where the background manager will look for videos. But it could be used for anything.

It is very likely that we'll add a few extended options where you can select a default folder for everything that can be added from the insert menu.

That is "as designed".

This is for performance reasons, but also because of limititations in DirectShow and some display adapters. Apart from that, some videos refuse to play if we split up the signal to two monitors because of "copyright reasons" :roll: .
