Stagelight 1.5.1

• Security update: Stagelight now runs on a newer version of its built-in browser engine (Electron 44.9.3), with the latest Chromium and V8 security fixes. Nothing else changes

Install: download Stagelight-Setup-1.5.1.exe below and run it. If Windows says it protected your PC, choose More info → Run anyway.

Stagelight 1.5.0

• New "Over video" tab, on the laptop (in the library) and on the phone, for putting words over a playing video with no risk of stopping it. Type words, or pick a song, slides or scripture and tap a slide. Nothing on this tab can stop or replace the video, and Next and Previous stay within those words
• On the phone, the Clear button at the bottom is hidden while the Over video tab is open (use the tab's own Clear words)
• Display settings on the phone: tap the sun at the top to adjust the projected picture (brightness, contrast, colour and warmth) and how long videos fade in and out

Stagelight 1.4.1

• Clear words takes the words off the screen and leaves a playing video (or the background) as it is. It's next to Clear on the laptop (or press W), and in the phone's video controls
• Preview has a "+ Service" button to add what you're previewing to the service, and "Remove from service" to take a service item out
• The laptop's top bar fits on smaller screens: the projector list is narrower, so Phone remote is no longer cut off
• On the phone, the Show now, Play next and Add buttons for scripture can always be reached while a video is playing: away from the Live tab the video controls shrink to one row and the library scrolls

Stagelight 1.4.0

• Background music: a Music tile in the Live section (and ♪ on the phone). Choose a song or a YouTube video, or paste a YouTube link, and it plays from the laptop whatever is on screen. YouTube music plays its sound only, without showing anything
• The music fades out and pauses while a video plays its own sound, then fades back in afterwards. You can switch this off in the music window
• Pick any colour for the words over a video (Theme, White, Black or your own colour) from the live controls on the laptop or phone. Songs, scripture and slides shown over the video use it too
• Resize the four sections by dragging the bars between them. Drag one nearly shut to fold that section into a thin strip (click it to open it again), or double-click a bar to reset. Your layout is remembered
• Renaming images, videos and music works again in the desktop app

Stagelight 1.3.0

• Videos fade in and out, picture and sound together, including just before a video ends. Set how long in Display (top bar)
• Display also adjusts the projected picture: brightness, contrast, colour and warmth, for projectors that look dark, washed out or the wrong colour
• A Repeat button in the live controls, on the laptop and phone, plays a video or song again when it ends
• YouTube videos can show their own captions (tick "Show captions" on the video)
• Add YouTube videos and web links from the phone (Library > Media)
• Scripture can have its own theme, with its own text area, size and background: open it in Themes and press "Use for scripture"
• Scripture now always wraps to fill its text area, so short verses come out big and long ones shrink to fit
• The footer (song title and author, or the scripture reference) has more options: size, distance from the bottom, bold, italic and its own colour

Stagelight 1.2.0

• The phone's video and music controls look the same on every phone: play from the start, play/pause, mute and stop, with the time showing
• Drag the position bar on the phone to jump to any point in a video, YouTube video or song
• Images on the phone just show Stop, without video buttons that do nothing
• The phone's Media list can be filtered by type (videos, images, music, web and YouTube) and by folder

Stagelight 1.1.0

• Songs, scripture and slides you put live while a video plays now go over it, and the video carries on without restarting. Switch "Keeps playing under words" off in the live controls to have words replace the video instead
• Changing the words on a playing video no longer restarts it, and you can now type words onto an image or video from the phone
• Volume sliders for videos and music, on the laptop and the phone
• Music now plays from the laptop, so it's heard even with the projector off
• On the phone, Show puts something on screen without adding it to the service
• The phone shows a clear warning (and buzzes) when it loses the connection to the laptop, and notices a dropped connection within a few seconds
• Remove a single saved passage on the phone
• Alerts can be moved in from the edge of the screen, for projectors that cut off the top (Alert > Look and speed > Distance from the edge)
• Press T, or 🕒 Time on the laptop or phone, to show the time in the bottom-right corner for a few seconds
• The laptop screen keeps its layout when a video is live or a name is very long: no more sections pushed off screen or scroll bars

Stagelight 1.0.2

• Importing no longer freezes partway through a big batch of songs or videos, especially once the media library holds a lot of videos
• Video thumbnails are now still pictures, made once per video, so the media lists on the laptop and phone load faster
• If a video can't be added during an import, the import report now says so instead of counting it as added

Stagelight 1.0.1
