RE: March 2010 Edition Available for Beta Testing by George in Latest NewsPosted By Kenneth Rosentrater on 17 Mar 2010 05:36 PM
Greetings, I do hope that the Windows 7 compatibility will be fully worked out...
Ken and Cleber,
If you are having issues, please contact the support team as they are better equipped to handle you inquiry by looking at your system via remote to determine what is going on.
At the very least, please post your comments in the correct forum. If you are having Window 7 issues, they need to go in the User Support - V7 on Windows 7 forum so that the people that can address your post will see it in a timely manner.
I looked at the issues you listed on several Win7 systems and saw no issues. This is all the more reason you should contact the support team at your earliest convenience so they can walk through it with you.

March 2010 Beta - How to use Color Improv link is missing by George in SongShow Plus Beta Release Articles- Color Improv is included as part of the new Improv Collection and it appears in the Plug-ins panel that is typically at the bottom of the SSP Control Panel. This tab is supposed to have a "How to use this plug-in" link similar to the Background Improv with basic instructions. This omission was an oversight and it will be added later.
The Color Improv is an advanced effect that allows on the fly hue adjustment and can be applied from the advanced effects tab in the display properties anywhere it is present.
One thing to keep in mind when using this is that Color Improv is a Hue adjustment and not a color filter so when applying this the result may be very subtle depending on what the original color or colors are.
This is pretty cool so have fun with it!

RE: Unstable for me by iamgap in Beta Test Support
I haven't yet updated to the latest release. Was this resolved? If not, it just happened again on the 2/24 beta.
It hung when switching from one song to another. One had the clouds animation with an image overlay @ 25% transparency and 100% size. The next had a Shift Worship MPG file (praise in cliff).
In order to get it to pop an Alert!, I clicked the SSP task (on the Windows Task Bar) three seperate times. The second reported Not Responding, the third popped the Alert!.
3432 - Hint: Ssp: Unable to use fill type: Video File. Reason: Unable to use video file due to it's slow response time
I have a pretty long trace file if you would like it. The video file is in the SSP Video directory, on the local HDD.
EDIT: I edited the file type from WMV to MPG, as I realized it was one of the few MPG types we still had. I also downloaded the WMV version, and used that after restarting SSP, without issue.

RE: Recommended Professional Level Video Cards (DI009) by George in Display Issues*******ALERT*******
There has been a reported fan speed issue related to the NVIDIA 196.75 video driver. Consumers are reporting low video card fan speeds, overheating and hardware failure.
LINK TO NVIDIA DRIVER NOTIFICATION
This particular driver is not one that was recommended by the SSP Team, however there may be cause for concern if you recently updated your video drivers.
NVIDIA has removed the 196.75 driver version from the download area but it is worth checking your system to ensure you do not have it installed. If you have this driver installed the recommendation is to uninstall it immediately and install an older driver.

RE: some avi's kill SSP by Rick Everingham in User Support - V7- I have seen this to some extent, however once I installed the K-lite code pack, this issue seems to have gone away, as it is pretty inclusive in containing all the codecs.

RE: LogMeIn.com by fbcgoshen in Tips & Tricks- I use logmein every week to set up my program. As a matter of fact i just got done setting up the service for tomorrow using this. It comes in really handy if you are unable to attend a service and they are having issues. I have corrected monitor settings and what not from my office or lazyboy.
The other thing is we have a digital mackie mixer hooked to a different pc. I am able to run the board from home. I am able to work on the live audio feed from home since you don't always know what is going on with the feed at the church. I can also help other sound techs when they have issues.
I would highly recommend it to anyone. It is free unless you want the advanced features. It is also a good way to keep office computers going.

RE: Bug in 2/26/10 build by akins in User Support - V7- I might add to what George said by directing you to "presets" for songs and other items. We use somewhat similar formats for songs and scriptures each Sunday and I have "preset" these for quick application. I then can make modifications as desired for a particular Sunday.

RE: How to use ssptimer files by akins in User Support - V7- Just select the type you want (5 min, etc.) from the list and place it in the program. You can then edit the timer changing font, size, color (just two), placement, and two lines of text. Actually, the editing choices are fairly limited and have been the subject of wishes for sometime, but you can usually play around and get a decent look. Right clicking on the timer in the program and selecting "display properties" at the top of the list will allow you to add background color, images, and/or videos and you can apply "advance effects" to any of these.

Right-Click copy/paste menu does not work in PPT song import panel (TS098) by George in Troubleshooting- Symptom:
During a Song import from PPT the right-click menu is no longer available in the Slide Text box when importing song text from a PPT. This may cause difficulty in editing content. Import is still possible and text entry and deletion are possible, only the right click menu is affected.
Possible Cause:
Unknown - the root cause of this is still under investigation.
Possible Solution:
Import is still possible and text entry and deletion are possible. The CTRL-X, CTRL-C and CTRL-V keyboard shortcuts work as well. If a significant change in the arrangement of the text in the PowerPoint file is needed, this can be done using Microsoft PowerPoint.

H.264 videos or thumbnails may cause SSP to be unstable and lock up (TS097) by George in Troubleshooting- Symptom:
H.264 Video or thumbnails may cause SSP to be unstable and lock up when added or viewed.
Possible Cause:
It appears that there are some H.264 video that can cause trouble in SSP. At this time this is very rare, however, the root cause of this is still under investigation.
Possible Solution:
This was discovered using movie trailer files that would play fine in applications other than SSP. At this time there is no solution but it is best to try a different file to make sure it is not a wider issue. Please contact the Support Team and provide the video file for analysis.

RE: Audio clip doesn't restart when slide show restarts by George in User Support - V7Hmm - Interesting...
I just tried this using blank slides entered as program elements and got the same expected behavior I described before. Are you using "blank" blank slides (default blank slide is black color only) or do you have something else set for your blank slides?
I would say at this point if the behavior persists and you can duplicated it, contact the support team so they can do a remote with you and actually see what is going on.

RE: SSP Version 5.5 with SongSelect Online by iamgap in User Support - V5.5
I too would recommed that you backup/archive/zip your current R-Technics folder and install the evaluation of version seven. If the PC cannot handle it, which I doubt, do a complete uninstall of Version 7 and go back to version 5.5.
It is my understanding that version 7 is much more stable, and can function more efficiently on an older machine than version 5.5 can.

RE: 32bit vs. 64bit by iamgap in User Support - V7 on Windows 7
To add yet another fly into the ointment...
I didn't realize that my MoBo has a 4 year old (2 yr older than the mobo) chip on it (intel 945). So even though the processor and motherboard can support up to 4 GB of RAM, the chipset can only address 3.2 GB of RAM.
What I am most upset about is that the board advertised that it could support up to 4 GB of RAM, but didn't say it could only address 3.2. Had I known that, I wouldn't have bought this board. Time for an upgrade. Now I gotta find a board that supports the RAM that I just bought for this board.

RE: SSP loses audio when run with PowerDVD by norvilles in User Support - V7- Ah. Never would have thought that those two things would go hand in hand.
