How to use ssptimer files by donfriend in User Support - V7- I need to run a countdown timer to indicate start of service. Are the ssptimer files I see for that purpose? How do I employ them? I've looked here and all through the documentation to no avail. Thanks very much. -don

some avi's kill SSP by akins in User Support - V7- I often use videos of the avi format and have never had any problem. I recently downloaded several short worship avi videos which play perfectly outside of SSP. When I try to play any of them from SSP the preview screen goes black and SSP stops responding. My previous avi's still play OK from SSP. It's not a big deal as I in the process of converting them to wmv, but I just wonder what's going on?

RE: Does December 2009 Edition Support Unicode? by norvilles in User Support - V7- I've had problems with SSP and other languages.
I will sometimes work with German and Korean.
At times German would work.
Then at other times Korean would work.
When it comes to other languages,
I stick with Power Point for now.

RE: Bug in 2/26/10 build by cegarrett in User Support - V7- InfoTech,
I just want to make sure you know about the Lyrics Display options in Global Display Properties if you use 4 lines per slide you can still do that by changing the Display Lyrics Dropdown in the Show Tab of the Song Layout Group in display properties.
Our church used Page-Page but there is an option for Maximum Lines per Slide.
Hope this helps,

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.

- Video (*.mp4v)
- Video (*.mov)
- Movie Clip (*.mpg)
- Movie Clip (*.mpeg)

RE: Animated GIF Support by pgulezian in User Support - V7- Cool!! I wonder when they'll finally add this as a feature??? I also wonder WHY it hasn't been added in the past. It just seems like a "No Brainer", because it's a basic feature to support. ESPECIALLY, because we're dealing with a projection type of program. Like I said, PowerPoint supports it and probably has for years... I guess it just confuses me as to why it wasn't always a part of SSP, being the awesome program that it is. GIF's MUST be harder to deal with than I think.
Thanks for your reply.

RE: Troubleadvancing through a program by osborn4 in User Support - V7- If you can reproduce it, I'd contact tech support.
You might want to try installing the latest release to see if that shakes anything loose.

RE: SSP Crashes when adding a song by KingsleyUMC in User Support - V7- Update 3:
I have updated to the december release. It appears the problem has gone away for the time being. I noticed there was an update in the visualitation'S .dll . Also this machine is 4+ years old. I wonder if the video card might not be beefy enough for the improvements you have give the program during that time. I did run the hardware test and it didn't have a problem with the card.
Well, the problem is under control for the time being. Let's let it die.

RE: Exporting slide show from one computer to another by iamgap in User Support - V7
As Joel said, add the slide show to a program, save the program, and then Package to Go.
You can also save the SSB to an external drive, and you can copy it to another computer. The down side to this is all the linked files (images and videos) will need to be copied also, and then pasted to a relative location on the other PC.

RE: Computer Setups by norvilles in The 'Wave Pool'- Well I see what you mean.
There is the debate between Linux, Mac and Windows. Then there is the debate between what Distro.
But Linux is becoming increasingly popular. You see it more and more often on the laptops of those setting in StarBucks.
But, all I'm saying is that if SSP could open up to the different platforms, that would be great.
And there will always be bugs in programs, no matter what. That is unavoidable.
Unless its a simple:
class Driver {
static void main(string[]args) {
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}
