OpenLP 3.0.2 "Smart Simeon" Released

We're happy to announce another bug fix release in the 3.0.x series.

Known Issues

These are the issues that we know about, and are busy working on.

Warning

Ubuntu 22.04, Linux Mint

The main view in the web remote does not update automatically on Ubuntu 22.04
due to Ubuntu/Mint shipping an old version of python3-websockets. This can be
fixed by downloading and installing an updated version of the package from
the official Ubuntu
archive.

Warning

Wayland on Linux

OpenLP at present does not behave well under Wayland so the recommendation is
to run under X11. If you can't run in X11 (or prefer to run it in XWayland),
you should start it with QT_QPA_PLATFORM environment variable set to xcb,
although the Main View from the Web Remote will not work.

Warning

Video backgrounds

Video / streaming backgrounds and background audio in songs currently do not
work together. You may experience either the video not working but the audio
works, or the audio doesn't work while the video does.

Warning

macOS

macOS reports OpenLP as damaged, due to the OpenLP app not being signed. If
you encounter this problem, you can try the following solution:

1. From Applications / Utilities run Terminal

2. In Terminal, type in the following command:

   xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OpenLP.app
   

3. In some cases, you may need to append sudo to the above command

4. This should allow you to start OpenLP normally

Warning

macOS on Apple Silicon Chips

The VLC integration does not work.

Some people have reported success when downloading and installing the
Universal Binary from the VLC
website, but we have not
confirmed this.

The OpenLP team does not have the funds to purchase an Apple Silicon Mac at
the moment, but if you'd like to help out financially, you can do so on our
donate page.

Warning

Issues with High DPI monitors on Windows and macOS

We are aware of issues that our Windows and macOS users are encountering with
4K monitors and other high resolutions when scaling is involved. We are
currently investigating this.

The OpenLP team does not have funds for purchasing things like 4K monitors,
but if you'd like to help out finanically so that we can, you can do so on our
donate page.
