2.219 Singer Names Display Command

[flipper]

I can't get Singer Names display to work. In the manual I can follow all of the instructions right up until we get to the drag n drop part.

What I'm reading is take the singers display window and drag n drop it into the #2 monitor in the display properties dialog box. The singers display window will not drag n drop for me. I messed around with this for a couple of hours trying different methods with no luck.

Am I missing something here?

Also what do you mean by clone mode? I have two options on my dual display settings:
1. Multiple Monitors on NiVidia GeForce
2. Default Monitor On NiVidia GeForce

Flipper, you'r reading it wrong. Once Hoster is properly set up, the drag and drop is to move the singer's names to the remote tv the same as you did the singer's lyrics screen.

Clone mode is a duplication of everything that's on the desktop, shortcuts and all. You dont want that.

You need Extended Desktop mode.
In the Display Properties box, click on monitor #2 to highlight it.

Then check the box that says Extend My Windows Desktop Onto This Monitor.

Seems like you should have already been there if Hoster was working properly before the upgrade.

That being the case, all you had to do was have the tv on and drag the singer's names box over to the tv the same as you did the Lyrics screen.

Hope this helps,

George

I have no problem understanding extending the desktop to another monitor.

The problem Im having is understanding how I drag n drop the singers name box over to the tv. Obviously I'm missing something in your translation.

in order to see both song being played and the singer list

the way we like it is to resize you singer tv the song box
put your cusor on the tv side
about half way up on the left of the tv near the edge when you see the two arrow fron left drag your singer scren from left two right making it about 1 inch smaller
then take your singer list and make it fit the opening you just made on the tv
drag it from the top to the bottom and from left to right to fill the 1 in c space
then you will see them both all the time

now the first song you play will cover up the list
at this point in time whill the song is playing go over on the tv scren and double click on the tv scren
and it wll resize to view both
once you do this the first time it will hold that setting for the rest of the night

ps show your list from top to bottm
not across the top
the reason why is if you strech your song list across the top or bottom
it will make the words smaller from the song
if you do it from side and pull it to the left or right the words stay the same size

Are you sure you turned it on? It did not work for me when I clicked on it on the screen. You have to turn it on from the tools menu. There is a menu line for it in the tools menu. When you select it, you have to configure it.

Hope this helps.

you can turn it on and off by double clicking the SND button next to the timer. be carefull turning it on while someone is singing because it will show up on top of the singers display. Kind of handy though to do during long instrumentals or outros, then just single click on the singers screen and it will drop to the back or double click SND again to turn it off.

None of the above works for me to get the singer's name display to show on the TV.

I went to tools and turned it on and the little box poped up with the names on the laptop screen. I dragged it all over the place, and double clicked it as I did to solve my singer display problem, in another post.

Nothing. It will not show up on the TV, only on the laptop screen and I see no value in that, as I can already see the names as to who is singing in the playlist.

I would like for it to show on the TV who is coming up next as it would get people to be ready to come up and sing, but I can't get it to happen.

have you resized your singers scren

at the top of your tv move your cusrcer over to your tv grab one of the coners of the scren and make it smaller then move you singer list over

if you can see it on the hoster side
then you can resize your tv and move it over there

i know we are just not wording it right for you
but i dont know any other way t tell you how to do this

Is this what I do?

I first make the singers list show up on my laptop screen. I then make my curser show up on the TV screen and move it to a corner of the screen and grab a corner of the screen and make it smaller, so that the singer list can show up on the TV.

I assume I have to right or left click in order to grab a corner of the TV screen. Is that correct?

I then right or left click on the singer name list on the laptop, and drag it so it shows up on the TV.

I would perfer that the singers names be behind the song lyrics, so that it will only show, after the song is over. I understand this can be done, but I don't see a command for this.

Last night all went well at my show with the upgrade, and today I will try the above to get this feature working. I will also read the manual to see if that helps me understand this more.
