Any luck with this? I tried to download the Message & Amplified Bibles. They downloaded OK – but when I tried to add them to Easyslides I got an error message saying they couldn’t be added?
All – I think I finally got this partially solved. I tried a 2nd video card and I was still having the same issue. I went back to the “Screens” settings in ES and played with them. I discovered that if I have Stage Display 1, 2, and 3 all set to “Secondary Monitor 2” that a media file will play on my Live Screen. It won’t play on my confidence monitor – it is just black. If I have any of those stage displays set to anything else besides “Secondary Monitor 2” – everything goes black when playing a media file. Besides my computer display – I’ve just got 2 other outputs – one for my live screen and one for my confidence monitor. I guess I’m not understanding these settings?
I was reading back through some of the previous posts and sounds like I can only play a media file through 1 video output. Sounds like it won’t play through 2 video outputs at a time? Can anyone else confirm that?
broetman -I did try try the WMP reinstall. As noted above – I couldn’t get Easyslides to work with it turned off. When I turned it back on and Windows re-installed it – it is still doing the exact same thing. I am the point of trying to put a different computer here. I would have already tried that – but I need 3 video outputs and I don’t have another one with a card for 3. My other thought was to order a different brand video card and try swapping that out to see if that would make a difference. I did get Easyslides to work fine at home on my computer with 2 monitors. I just feel like I’m kinda shooting in the dark.
I have confirmed that I have the latest 5.2 RC4 installed. On a curious note – I tried turning Windows Media Player off to see if that would change anything. Easyslides would not even start with it uninstalled/turned off. When I turned it back on – Easyslides loaded just fine – but still same results – any video I play the screen turns black and all I get is the audio. It’s really driving me bonkers. I have loved Easyslides and have used it for several years – but I need to be able to play video files through it. Not sure what else to try?
Bert – curious question – I don’t currently have VLC installed on this machine. I’ve got Windows Media Player and Media Player Classic. I’m not sure what Easyslides is using when it tries to play a video? Is there a way to default which player it uses? I didn’t know if it used the windows default video player? I don’t know if that could possibly be the problem? I did check the extension file and it looks pretty much like yours.
Bert – it’s happening with any video file I play in Easislides. The sound play but the display just goes black?
It’s on extended display. It works fine for Powerpoint and works fine for song lyrics, Bible verses, etc. It’s just the video files that won’t display through Easyslides – but as I said – the sound will play fine – the display just turns black when I try to play one.
As mentioned – I can play the videos outside of Easislides in Windows Media Player just fine on the display screens.
Sorry – I’m playing catch up! I’ve got the 5.2 RC4 version and I’ve got grid mode on for my Stage Display 1 – but I still am not finding how to display the clock on just the Stage Display and not my live screen? Can anyone help? Thanks!
Oops – and I believe you can disregard. Think I’ve got it fixed now. I had my Secondary monitor set as Stage Display 1 and appears the Grid Mode settings in the General Settings were overriding the live display settings.
Excited to check out some of the other features!
