2023 02 07 First Tuesday Worship - February

We need 9 volt batteries I missed the prayer slide in the first song and didn't update the 2nd song properly apparently. Superbowl Sunday should work using the BLACK projector and the aux cable that was used for the ATEM.  We'll need someone to sign up to one of these accounts that will stream the Super bowl: Youtube TV Hulu TV Sling TV We will be able to switch back and forth between the two projectors. I have an idea for the short video to play before service. I need to get with Ron or do some research on how to do that though.

2023 02 05 - This Time I Will Praise The Lord

1. Need 9volt batteries 2. The lyrics in PCO have the notes in-between the words which makes it difficult to import into ProPresenter as they have to be removed prior to import. 3. Still looking for a way to stream LIVE TV.  DirecTV won't do it.  We have a couple of options.     1. Use a different PC/Laptop that will do flash if we use DirecTV     2. Use the Mac Mini but figure out how to play via ProPresenter. I'm still working on that.

 1. I am working on a new Offering slide. Using the Cash.app QR Removing the PayPal 2. Madeline did a great job. She knows the songs. There was a difference in what I had and what you guys sang on one of the songs and she knew the song well enough to adjust where I would have likely made a mistake. 3. We need to figure out how to stream as I cannot use DirecTV as it uses FlashPlayer to stream and Macs do not support Flash.  Ron thinks that P.A. might have a YouTube TV account that we could use and he was going to check with her. Use some other type of streaming like Frontier Communications or some other service that can get Football. 4. I noticed that on the bottom of the RedemptionPlano.com webpage you have the info@redemption-church.com email.  Shouldn't that be changed at some point to info@redemptionPlano.com? 5. At the bottom left of this page there is a 'Follow' button.  Click that and you SHOULD get updates whenever someone posts something.

 The website security certificate which enables https expired on 2023 01 13.  hostmonster.com installed the new certificate and now the website is passing traffic again over port 443 (for https traffic).  It expires on Friday, April 14, 2023 at 8:54:56 PM.  This will be a problem if you have to install it every quarter.  Someone will need to speek to Hostmonster.com to see why they only installed the certificate for 3 months.

2023 01 08 Can You Keep A Secret

 1. New Mac Mini still needs an OS update. 2. The Healer song didn't come over for some reason. I added it during service but it was too late. 3. Unstoppable God and Gory to God Forever didn't have Lyrics and Healer had the notes mixed in with the lyrics which makes it difficult to import the song. 4. First Tuesday - I recommend building the ProPlaylist prior to Tuesday. Alternately, make sure the lyrics are in PCO. 5. Can you ask the Pastor if we can update the version of ProPresenter?  I'm not sure what our license entails. 6. I checked the video you sent and it's made for a different version of ProPresenter. I'll see if I can find a way to do it with ours. 7. What's the Cash App address? I want to add it to the Online Giving slide.

 1. New Mac Mini works much better it's a 2020 model with 8GB of RAM but still faster than what was there previously. - I needed to update the Fonts - It had virtually no media, meaning that I had to load all the MP4s from my MacBook Pro when I downloaded them before. - It was missing the ATEM software which I was able to load successfully - It is asking for an OS update which we will need to run at some point. Hopefully New Brazil will do it on their watch, saving us from having to do it.  2. The lights only work in Design and not Live for some reason. I don't know why but I'll investigate. 3. Having the rundown in pre-service really helps me to know what we are doing and thank you for pointing out that greeting was AFTER the first song. It's also a great time to ask questions about tech. 4. The lyrics weren't all on PCO this time around which added to time to create the slides but workable. 5. Could use updated slides for the slideshow. It would help if they were ...

1. Remind the host church to see what's up with the lights . 2. The iMac is really old. Maybe we can use a newer laptop? Late 2016 ($650): https://www.amazon.com/Apple-quad-core-Discontinued-Manufacturer-Refurbished/dp/B07CHY6T2M/ref=sr_1_13?crid=1OKFH3YWLX937&keywords=macbook+pro&qid=1672029433&refinements=p_89%3AApple%2Cp_36%3A-65000&rnid=386442011&s=electronics&sprefix=macbook+pro%2Caps%2C115&sr=1-13  -- This one is from Late 2016. The iMac at the church is from like 2009 or something.  Maybe the host church would take a donation to upgrade?  Maybe we invest in something better and run the lyrics from it? 2018 ($720): https://www.amazon.com/Apple-MacBook-Storage-MR932LL-Refurbished/dp/B07JBLRT2L/ref=sr_1_22?crid=1OKFH3YWLX937&keywords=macbook+pro&qid=1672029433&refinements=p_89%3AApple%2Cp_36%3A-65000&rnid=386442011&s=electronics&sprefix=macbook+pro%2Caps%2C115&sr=1-22 3.

 1.  Lights were not working through LightKey.  In troubleshooting, it was determined that breaker 26 was turned off. Once turning it on, rebooting, restarting LightKey, we still could not get the lights to work. 2.  The iMac froze while Alex was attempting to add a slide which forced a restart of ProPresenter. 3.  I gave Alex a copy of the themes so that he can use them as a template for making slides. 4. I really liked how you went through the service points and what to expect. I think we need to get back to a regular cadence of things. Check the lyrics Check the bumper/other videos Point out anything that may be different (Lyrics during Alter, different slides that might need special attention, etc.) Pray 5. Ron has been invited to the blog as of Sunday (December 18th) but has not yet finished the sign up. 6. I'd like to add the Mission and Vision slides to the slideshow but I can't find them. I remember the vision as being 'A 1st century church connecting t...

 1. Trained Madeline - The issue we had was due to the file being opened twice simultaneously. Because the computer is so slow, it took a long time before it opened and recover. 2. Adjusted the lyrics to 'In The Highest'. Questions: 1. I talked to Rick and he was okay with Madeline helping out more. Can we get her in the rotation? 2. Upload to the Redemption Church website. I believe we are a couple of weeks behind. Should I check with Alex and see about taking that over? 3. I can put up other 'pages' on the left which we can then use to reference for training, etc.  Do you want me to proceed?
