OSX Lion Update

Nate Ragan August 05, 2011 • BETA: MediaShout for Mac / Announcements

Q: Is MediaShout for Mac currently Lion-compatible?
A: Not at this time, but we're working on it!

We are currently in the process of completing a major update to MediaShout for Mac that will be fully Lion-compatible in addition to fixing a multitude of bugs and performance issues. It is our hope to release a Lion-compatible Alpha version to our testers next week that will include a number of these fixes, as well as an uninstaller to clean up any issues from older builds, however at this time, we do not recommend upgrading your operating system to Lion, as your software will be incompatible, and will not open. If you would like to join our testing team and receive notifications about the latest updates, please register using this link.

Adding Song Lyrics with SongSelect (2011)

Nate Ragan July 27, 2011 • MediaShout Version 4 / Song Lyrics

CCLI has recently added the ability for us to make our integration with SongSelect even better. This new integration doesn't require you to use the SongSelect website, but allows you to search for songs and import them using MediaShout's Song Deck.

Adding Songs via SongSelect

Open MediaShout and browse to the Song Deck.
From the Deck Source drop-down menu on the left (see image below), select SongSelect. (The first time you use this feature, you'll be asked to log in.)
Type a title, lyric or author name into the search field, and Song Deck will return results from SongSelect's online database, and can be arranged by Title, Author or Song ID.
Double-click on a song, and you'll see a confirmation asking if you want to add the song to your Library.
Click Add, and the song is immediately added into your Library, using your default template.
The icon next to the song title will change from a green plus (+) sign to a treble clef, showing that the song is now a part of your MediaShout Song Library.

The 2011 edition of the New International Version is now available for MediaShout Version 4.5 users. The NIV 2011 is downloaded and installed as a separate translation, providing the option of using either NIV1984 or NIV2011.

Using the Resource Manager dialog, select Online Resources from the options on the left.
Select the Bibles-NIV2011 (US) checkbox.

Note: If the NIV 2011 version is not available from the list in Bible Deck or a Bible cue, you may need to close and relaunch MediaShout for the changes to take effect.
