We have very rarely been able to make it through a service without mediashout crashing. support has not been any help they just keep telling me to reinstall the codec pack even though I have done this multiple times. I have done everything I can think of I have reinstalled everything we even got a new computer i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, GTX 1050TI with the last update it deleted a good portion of our lyrics database luckily I have backups. Now when it crashes it is getting stuck as a system p...

We use time Triggers on all of our lyrics. (Found a Bug). If you make a mistake when entering your time trigger and trying to clear the playback grid to restart it only clears the grid not the last slide that was displayed so when you restart it starts at last slide. You have to shut MediaShout down or delete lyric and re-enter to start entering the time triggers again. For example, if you start recording your time triggers and get to the third screen and make a mistake then cleare the playback ...

We're not sure what happened but our link to Song Select stopped working. We are no longer able to try and reconnect it (yes, the subscription is active) and when we do, we get a popup window with this error... "Your authentication token was not valid, is missing, already used, or expired. Try going back to the site you were on and connecting to SongSelect again" I've searched the Internet, Song Select site and forums and I'm not finding anything. Any suggestions? We've reinstalled Media ...

Long ago there used to be a Word macro for printing a service sheet from Mediashout. Sometimes useful for members of the congregation who cannot see the screens. I haven't used it for a while, and since then, both Word and Mediashout have changed a lot. Is there still a facility to print the words of a service? Unfortunately, the only print of the MediaShout is a thumbnail view, not the text. We are hoping to expand that capability in the near future.

How can I get a clean startup? Hey Pervy, So that I don't miscommunicate, can you give me the reason for wanting a startup and what you are wanting specifically? I'll be happy to help! I keep getting "recover new script on the ribbon. See file attached Hi Pervy, I don't see anything attached. II I tried to do a cut and paste, but I guess the attachments did not attach. I will send you photos tomorrow from my cell phone.. Pervy Wilson Hi Pervy, I haven't received anything from you ye...

I have created a script of (for simplicity sake) 6 slides and have set the time to 10 seconds each. This will play my announcements and return to the top and repeat until stopped. I have also added a background sound file to play across all the script slides. This all works well, with the exception of the "Fade Out". I have set the "Mark & Play" to end just prior to the last slide (say 55 seconds). It will NOT fade but rather just stop at that point. The fade works as advertised if it is within ...

Not a question but a discovery. Using the Control, Main and Stage displays with stage mirroring main I ran into the stage display being 1-2 seconds behind the main. Here's the thing, if you start the script and then choose <edit stage> and restart the script (without selecting <stop> first), the latency reduces to 1/2 second or less. If you need too, you can then select <edit main> and restart (again without using <stop>). The lag is still significantly reduced. I am curi...

Our church is purchasing a new computer to run version 6 and be able to use all features. Any suggestions of makes/models that work well, especially graphics wise? I would be happy to help you. I would take a look at the computer we build as a benchmark for components like the GTX 1050 video card. You can see them here: www.mediashout.com/computers. If interested in any of them directly from us, let me know as I can get you free shipping and a free USB drive this month, and you get a $200 discou...

I need to put text on the stage screen for multiple slides for the kids Christmas program. when I want it on the main screens, I "insert text" and copy and paste it in, then I tweek it. Is there a simple way to do that only on the stage screen? thanks

We use a worship video prior to the start of each worship service. Typically I use Adobe Premiere to add lyrics when the video does not already contain them. It occurred to me that a video can be used as the background to a lyric cue, making the song lyrics immediately available. An operator could step through the lyric pages manually, but it would be preferable for that to occur automatically. I can assign a time value to each page in order to achieve the desired flow, but the process of se...

I just upgraded to V6 from V5. Many of my moving backgrounds and service opener videos have a medialooks icon on them. How do I remove the icon? Hey! If you are seeing this watermark, it is likely because of the way your Codecs are setup. To fix the “MediaLooks” watermark issue, please do the following: With MediaShout closed, go to your start button and type “tweak” to open the Codec Tweak Tool. On the right side, click Preferred Splitters. On the left column, make sure that .mp4 and .mov...

Since the most recent update to MediaShout, the transition has defaulted to dissolve between cues. However, if I want to change it back to "Cut", it doesn't work. It dissolves like normal. I've tried setting the dissolve time to "0" which seems to cause it to go back to 3 for some reason. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Again, this is only between cues - not pages. I am able to set it to "Cut" and MediaShout saves this setting, but in practice, when you fire it - it does not cut. Hey ...

I've recently switched how I "pack" my files from my home computer to my church computer. This should work for anyone who has only one person creating and updating scripts. It likely wont work if you have a bunch of people working on scripts. A little history, I've used the built in dropbox sync, my own version of drop box syncing, and now I use Google's Drive File Stream. For the drop box, it was okay. The problem that I kept running into was that last minute changes to lyrics, etc, cause...

I am not able to save / keep the setting / "source" for the Main Viewers when I close Media Shout (6) and then reopen it. I am attempting to set them from the Settings tab. It defaults to Main and Stage (both are the same). I want to see Main and Main next. Thank you for any assistance. Hi Tom and Rhonda, Whenever you make a change to the layout of the MediaShout control screen, you must then save it as a Workspace to be able to use it in the future. Under the Settings Tab, you should see ...

We already spent money on a small form factor PC to run MS6. We were unaware of the issues with the Intel HD cards. We have scaling issues of course and have found a few ways to work around it, but it is very annoying. My question is does anyone have a suggestion on how to supplement the PC we already have to work with MS6. External video cards seem to be expensive and it's not possible to add a card in this box. My initial thought would be to use a USB>HDMI adapter, would this potentially ...

I have had this several times lately where someone will turn off one of the main PC monitor (I have a couple monitors that are DisplayPort or HDMI) which causes the MS main window to jump to the next available monitor. The issue is that when it does this it ends up behind the Stage or Front display which by default has the content on it. now I am stuck because I cannot tab to or see the MS main window. ALT+F4 will close it but when I open it I see the MS window for a split second then the Blac...

I had to upgrade from 4 to 6 and found this program non intuitive, unresponsive and a royal pain in the but even after 60 plus days of use. Problems galore For the record, my experience of MS6 is very good, it far outstrips previous versions. The trick in learning about MS6 when coming from previous versions, I found, was to completely forget how you did things in previous versions and come to MS6 with no baggage from previous versions, it's easier to pick up that way. I did take some time to...

I use mediashout 6.2.73 and most of the time the Bible verses get cut off at the right edge of the screen on the pc and on the projection, even though mediashout shows the words in the boundaries. Attached is a screen shot to show you what I mean. Can you tell me how to prevent this...other than going through all the scripture and hitting return to put the word on the next line...which I am doing now but sometimes I forget and then during the sermon the words are cut off. Hi Pastor Tim, I alre...

I inserted an ITUNE audio into a Lyric Script. The song will play only on the first cue, and fades out when I advance the cues to follow the words. How can I get the music to just play and continue, while I advance the cues to follow along with words sung? Thanks...A rookie who doesn't have a praise band...

Our church has MediaShout 2. We are currently looking into upgrading to version 6. Any suggestions on how our version 2 data can be migrated?
