Tomas, as stageview (still being just a webpage) is going nowhere, then the main screen with effects could do without chords.

Can QGraphicsView show video supporting all the formats VLC does?

Hi Laura,

It was actually me who talked about it :-)
We are currently working on getting chords into OpenLP, and to do that we use some CSS, which unfortunately is not supported by the Qt rich text engine, we know because it breaks the printing-rendering of chords which uses Qt rich text. The docs on the supported CSS is here: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/richtext-html-subset.html#css-properties The formatting tags in OpenLP are also relying on HTML and CSS, but for most cases I think the support in Qt rich text is sufficient. The code for the chords is currently in this branch: https://code.launchpad.net/~tomasgroth/openlp/chords <https://code.launchpad.net/%7Etomasgroth/openlp/chords> - we (or me) hope to merge it soon. If we switch to the new renderer we will have to re-implement that somehow.

I think the new renderer looks good, but there are of course some consideration about how it will measure up against our current all-html approach. While a QGraphicsView based renderer could be the future of OpenLP, I think we should stick to the webbased approach for the upcoming 2.6 release. A thing to note about the performance is that the QtWebEngine that we plan to move to as renderer to replace the QtWebKit, should be faster since it should use hardware acceleration. This is of course still to be tested...

Best regards,
Tomas (tgc)

    Tim Bentley was talking about using CSS to draw guitar chords
    (presumably for a confidence screen).  I'm not sure if this
    platform would accommodate that.  Could you elaborate on that
    idea?  Is there code for this I could look at?

    Thanks.

    Laura

        Hey Laura,

        As I said in the IRC channel, I'm really impressed with this.
        I think we all would like to see if we can make something that
        contains all the features of our current rendering engine, and
        then move onto the fancier stuff like transitions.
