Feature Requests

It would be useful to be able to broadcast transparent backgrounds to allow for easy graphical overlay of camera shots.

It would be very valuable, and build support with our worship leaders, if Mediashout could develop an integrated CCLI report feature that would be either automated monthly or a simple one-click direct submission. Apparently this has been a sought after feature in Pro Presenter forums that is not available and could position mediashout with something unique.

We are using the stage display for streaming and lower third lyrics with a green background. Our MS operator always has to switch Mirror Main to No when the song begins and then switch it to Yes when the songs end. In our case, lyric cues always should have Mirror Main = No for the streaming video. We must also be careful to coordinate the Mirror Main switching with our video producer to avoid black or green screen Program video on the stream. Having Mirror Main saved with lyric cues would impro...

I would like to see the return of the Comment cue in MS7. In MS6 I would insert comment cues to mark certain points in the service to make it easier to follow along and ensure that if I was inserting something I was in the right "section". We also miss the Comment cue greatly. MS7 is supposed to be an improvement over MS6 and arbitrarily removing it is not welcomed. PLEASE bring it back. Would be nice to know if development has taken notice and let us know if they plan to bring the comments ba...

Please allow the user to switch between the current UX (dark mode) and either light mode or standard Windows chrome. I use Media Shout outside on a laptop in the summer and the current interface is too dark, not enough contrast to see the different elements. Thanks!

At present if more than one Bible translation is present in MS6, then at start up the first in the list is selected as default, meaning the version has to be changed to that required every time the programme is used. I suggest that it is made an option to set a Bible Translation that is selected as default every time the programme is started.

When I'm in editor view in MS7 I would like to be able to collapse the thumbnails and just see the titles, like I could in MS6 by checking Compact Script View. It would make navigating around to put cues in the right place much easier. On the first que hover over icons (the first one is the fire icon and ends with collapse). If I understand your comment I think you're referring to the collapse that minimizes the pages within a cue. I'm referring to being able to show the cues in the left pane ...

Hi, It would simplify. Range of issues for us if NDI was implemented. At present we capture MediaShout on one screen and output this in the live stra ,however to use something like Zoom it is difficult to manage this process and also allow Zoom to be an input into Vmix. Even allow the stage output to be an NDI screen may help. Shalom Paul

Please make the slide bars on the user interface bigger (wider), or stretchable so that it would be much easier to line the mouse up on them.

Please make it possible to directly input the video start/stop as in 4.5. I do not yet see it in the wish list. Hey there! This is currently available in MediaShout 7. Get with our team (support@mediashout.com) and we can walk you through this. Thanks! -Ryan

In prior versions, text outline operated differently. We would use it to make sure text stood out regardless of variations in a given background. For example, if the background has a white section, then white letters would be impossible to read. But with a black outline to give contrast, all was well. That has changed with version 7. Currently, the text outline option is applied inside the letters, so an outline of a certain size completely fills in the letter to the point where the original col...

PLEASE add Page Break to normal text boxes as well as Lyric and Bible boxes. I frequently cut and paste a call to worship, and have to manually copy and paste the text. It would be MUCH easier to just add a Page Break as needed. Hey Mark, I will pass this along. Just to be sure, you're only seeing this issue with text boxes that have been manually added. Is that correct? -Ryan That is correct. The "Page Break" only works on bible and lyric boxes. Additionally, the behavior of the "Apply Fo...

Earlier versions synced the Bible reference to the stage from the main which was great. I know we can use tokens but they can't be centered or arranged in any way. It would be great if that ability could be reinstated.

In addition to the previous request to show counters on timed slides - it would be REALLY useful if the counters for videos were right there on the viewer or in the presenter screen as well, so you don't have to go looking for it. A feature I have on other products - a count DOWN timer - is very helpful too. Hey Mark, Thanks! I'll pass this along for you again! Thanks again, -Ryan I did find if you go to the Fire Control Plugin and select the video tab, it will display the video with a timer...

Being able to categorize images and videos into folders instead of scrolling through them all would be a nice feature. Hey Shannon, Thanks for your request! I can confirm that we do plan to add Folders and Sub-Folders to the Library section. As you said, this will make it much eaier to organize this library section. We hope to have that in an update coming soon. Thanks! -Ryan This question was answered 6 months ago with "hope to have that in an update coming soon". Any idea how much longer ...

I would like to save our announcement loop cue to the Cue Library with the settings applied to that cue. I do see if we set the timer for each slide in the loop, that it would carry that into the Cue Library but it won't save if we have that slide set to skip. We have some slides that we only show periodically and skip the other weeks, but don't want to have to set them to skip each week. Could that setting be saved into the Cue Library. Kind of same thing, but understand this might be more comp...

It would be helpful to sync each cue to the staging monitor with one click for entire script rather than clicking each cue. That way everything is there for stage and adjustments can then be made. Hey there, Yes, this is something we have planned to add into MediaShout 7 in a future update. Thanks! -Ryan

Provide a better way to insert a title page on a song with copyright info, including license. I would like this also. I manually create Title pages for lyric cues.

We would like to be able to add several versions of the Bible to our library and choose one version as our default. It seems that the only way to do that currently is to add the default version last. If there is already a way to do this, I'd love to know. Thanks!

I love the toggle remote feature. Our new pastor likes to control a powerpoint during his sermon, and the toggle remote feature keeps the DSAN remote from accidentally triggering cues during the rest of the service while it's in his pocket/etc. What would be incredible is if, instead of going into the menus during his sermon and toggling remote - then needing to remember to toggle it off after the sermon (I am putting comment reminders for the operator in the script right now), we could instead ...
