I have noticed that word "Blue" is not translated into Polish (MO file) - 'pympress' displays "Blue" instead of "Niebieski". The cause is presence of "#, fuzzy" in line 237 of the locale/pl/pympress.po file that I sent you last year. I did not remove this string (label) because I thought it is necessary. The file also contains some fuzzy entries - I am not sure if they are needed now. The same problem is probably in German translation - the presence of "#, fuzzy" before "_Blue".
Hello Guys,
i have add a transition animation for a slide in my presentation, but it doesnt works with pympress.
In an PDF Viewer(foxit) i can see the animation.
Example:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{pgfpages}
\setbeameroption{show notes on second screen = right}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\only<1>{\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{example-image-a}}
\only<2>{\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{example-image-golden}}
\transdissolve<2>
\end{frame}
\end{document}
Would’t it be nice to be able to control the playback of a video aside of pausing and resuming?
Pdfpc implements such a feature. I have used it lately, but it has a very high cpu usage while playing videos, which does not go down once the playback is stopped – this is a problem in long presentations because it limits my battery time dramatically.
Pympress + vlc performs much better in that way, but control over video playback is currently very limited.
I could imagine an implementation with keystrokes (as possible in vlc player) or by showing the playing video in the presenter view, too – together with a kind of progressbar that allows seeking by clicking a specific position or something like that.
I can not tell if this is possible and how much work it would be as I have never looked into python-vlc so far.
I tried to display the presentation on the right screen and presenter on the left screen
I try the function change screen in the menu, but without result
pympress file.pdf
the presenter and presentation screens are reversed
some functions in the menu does not work

Video playback should appear seamlessly above the still image that acts as a placeholder, without any window decorations; the user should not be aware that a separate program has been invoked to perform the video playback.
Create PDF in beamer / pdflatex that includes .mp4 video.
Start pympress on PDF and advance to page that has embedded video.
Click on placeholder for embedded video.
Instead of embedding properly, VLC opens a new window to play the video. The video plays correctly, except that it is not embedded and not at the size expected from the size of the placeholder.
The log file pympress.log is empty.
Hi, congratulations on your show. I have a question. In a dual monitor presentation, it is possible to start the fulscreen presentation, but it is possible that the other window, the control window, will not start full screen? I'd like a small window. I've tried it with the openbox configuration, but the output of "xprop | grep class" is the same for both windows, so I can't define the size for a single window.
I am using the latest version of pympres on lxde in Tisquel 8 (ubuntu 16.04). Thank you for your work.
The displayed time has a fixed width and does not move its position.
The displayed time string moves its position depending on the width of the displayed time string.
There is inconsistent behaviour when unpausing. If I unpause using P, the timer continues where it left off. E.g. I pause at 2:00, wait 20 seconds, then unpause by pressing P, the timer continues with 2:01.
When I unpause using navigation (e.g. next page), the timer instead continues at 2:21.
(By the way: Awesome project, thanks!)
I try to specify the duration of the presentation using '-t' option or 't' key. When '-t' is used, exception occurs. If I run without the abovementioned option everything is OK. But if I press 't' and I tray to set the duration, e.g., 90:00, then "Time elapsed" value does not change, and after closing the program displays:

Embeded video when clicked should play seamlessly over frame grab, matching position and size.
Minimum working example:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{multimedia}
\usepackage{pgfpages}
\setbeameroption{show notes}
\setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=right}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\movie{\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{test.jpg}}{test.mp4}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
Video appears with wrong size (too small, perhaps 1/2 of expected width) and in slightly wrong location (too far left by about 1/2). If notes on second page not used, works correctly.

Starting pympress in local master clone using python3 -m pympress from within a folder should use the shared files from the share/ directory of the current folder and not throw any errors.
pympress using pip3.python3 -m pympress inside the cloned directory.The shared files from the pip install are used and an error message may be produced, see 0bdc5da#commitcomment-26206898 and 0bdc5da#commitcomment-26212807.
I think there is a import statement missing in pympress/config.py
When there is no config file (e.g. because of a fresh install) config.py throws an Error at line 167.
I think there is missing the following statement at the beginning of the file:
from gi.repository import Gdk
No warnings.
Run pympress presentation.pdf from the terminal - the first warning is shown. When opening the help afterwards, the second warning is shown.
Warnings are shown:

Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
Removing this limitation will allow to load documents once pympress is started, and to open (fully) pympress, and to load a file afterwards.
How is the annotations feature supposed to work? I can't add annotations.
I have tried the solution given here:
But I cannot make it work. Any suggestions/advice?
I just tried to use the latest master, but could not get it to run (tested on Windows 8.1 with Python 3.4, no error on Ubuntu with Python3.5).

It looks like pympress has a problem with rendering Umlauts:
(This is from the 1.0.2 binary install.)
The broken character should be an ä.
(Side note: I find it curious that pympress is loading the German interface at all. My system language is English, only my region is set to Germany.)
After i started pympress 1.04 i get a error:
Befor i install pympress 1.04 i have pympress 1.02 i deinstall it with ccleaner.

I am running OSX 10.13.3 with Python version 2.7. I installed pympress via pip yesterday (not sure what version it is, I assume the latest).
What are you trying to achieve? What's the expected outcome?
It took me a while to install the relevant dependencies and I had to create symbolic links for gi and cairo in the pympress install location, but I now have it operational such that the program will open without errors (to an extent).
My issue now is that when I try and open the program with a pdf file, or when I try to open a pdf after having already started the program, I get a pop-up messagebox simply saying
Error opening the file "/path/presentation.pdf"
I'm simply typing
pympress /path/presentation.pdf
in the terminal, and get output

Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
When playing videos the sound should be heard clearly.
Sometimes the audio track of videos sounds quite tinny. Probably this is because of the doubled video on the presenter and the presentation view. That way the audio output is doubled, too.
When disabling/muting one of the two output streams (e.g. with pavucontrol) the sound is clear again.
I think it is a good idea to disable the audio tracks of one of the two player instances.
Sadly, libvlc doesn’t seem to be quit straight forward there. I could not manage it this morning, not even with reading the docs.
Looks like you’ve got to grab the audio track of one of the player’s media, "free" it somehow and then mute or disable it. Didn’t get it right.
Might it be possible to allow the user to freely arrange the size of the windows showing notes, current slide and next slide? As far as I know, the only method at the moment is to shift a vertical bar which often leads to a lot of unused space.
The "Current slide" or "Notes" label around the main slide preview in the presenter window becomes visibly smaller (and remains that way) after a notes-mode swap. Obviously pretty minor.
locale.defaultlocale seems to use the region instead of the language in Windows 10.
For example, see bug #19 with @fefrei's configuration (screenshot below and %LANG% not set), returning German as language.
I just installed pympress on Windows 10 (binary installer). The installation finished without errors, but I was not able to start pympress. Reason: one of the first things the program is doing it to create a logfile pympress.log. This file is created in the current working directory. If the current working directory is the installation directory, then the program will (silently) fail to start. Also, it is not possible to use the "open with" function of the windows explorer because of the same reason.
As a workaround I created now a batch-file, which starts pympress in a folder with write permission. I think, it would be a better solution to create the logfile not in the current working directory. What do you think about this change:
logging.basicConfig(filename=os.path.join(tempfile.gettempdir(), 'pympress.log'), level=log_level)
The logfile would be created within the default temporal folder of the OS. That should work on all OS.
The file extensions seem to be missing, see top right corner of any page of pympress.xyz.

Hello gyus,

In the secondary window it is possible by good luck. Sometimes it works and sometimes not
Hi,
I'm working on ubuntu 17.04 with gnome 3 and I installed it using pip install pympress. I also installed the dependencies using apt-get install python3 python3-pip libgtk-3-0 libpoppler-glib8 libcairo2 python3-gi python3-cairo gir1.2-gtk-3.0 gir1.2-poppler-0.18 and I get the following error :
Any idea ?
I'm running pympress 1.0 on Windows, and pre-rendering doesn't seem to be working:
To me, it looks like the prerenderer gets stuck, burning CPU without progressing.
(I'd be happy to privately send you the PDF file I use, if this helps you debugging this.)
I am actually looking for something like using mouse arrow while holding Ctrl in powerpoint (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttYOIVaJnf8). I know about the option to draw onto the current slide by pressing H. However, this is permanent and sort of messes up your slides if you highlight different things after each other. Also, it is sort of distracting to jump back and forth between presenter mode and drawing mode. Perfect for me (and colleagues) would be mimicking the powerpoint behaviour by directly using the mouse as pointer in presenter view inside the current slide window.
I tried installing pympress for Windows 10 (64bit) according to your instructions in the readme.
When setting up PyGi (Version 3.24.1), I have not the option to tick Cairo as dependency! Poppler and Gdk-Pixbuf are available.
I'm not familiar with all the dependencies, can I install Cairo in another way directly? The website says that it's shipped with other packages.
(Always the same with windows. On my Linux-machine everything works like a charm...)

The issue is related to using an XQuartz window which does not have the attribute for get_xid()
The Gtk.Application framework seems to be meant for simplifying code, which using glade files and a Gtk.Builder did quite a bit already.
So if the change is worth it in code clarity etc, then switch to that approach.
I'm afraid that for example we'd have to write out all the Gio.Action by hand in the code, as in the demo on readthedocs. Or that having two windows content/presenter with only one with a menu bar could become messy.
When running the cx_Freeze setup script on Windows, an error is thrown:
running build_exe
error: error in setup script: command 'build_exe' has no such option 'compressed'
Seems like the support for this option has been dropped some time ago: marcelotduarte/cx_Freeze#253.
By the way: Is there any documentation on how to obtain the installer for the pympress installer (tried it on Windows)? After removing the the compressed option from the corresponding dictionary, a folder got created, but after trying to start the pympress.exe file from the command line, it got closed after some time without any visible output.

There's too many of them and/or they are not differentiated enough. Any user should see how much time has passed since the presentation start with a simple glimpse, without having to look for that information on screen.
Hence, make other clocks (estimated time, wall clock) have one (or more) of:
It would be great to get a blank screen when pressing the dot, too. This seems to be the key event which is send by Logitech presenters.

The file vlcvideo.glade triggers an error because of unsatisfied requirements. Videos could not be played.
No error :-)
With Gtk+ version 3.18 installed pympress throws an error when changing to a slide with video:

GLib.Error: gtk-builder-error-quark: /home/teichert/Development/pympress/pympress/share/xml/vlcvideo.glade:5:1 Required gtk+ version 3.20, current version is 3.18 (7)
The file pympress/share/xml/vlcvideo.glade reads <requires lib="gtk+" version="3.20"/> at line 4.
I could remove the error by changing to version="3.2" as found in the other glade files.
Everything seemed to worke fine after that.
Is there any specific reason for requiring v 3.20 or was this simply inserted by the development software itself?
It would be nice to have a (possibly collapsible) list of files to open in the presenter window. Maybe with a file tree as well?
Depends on #8
Useful in situations where a set of presentations are to be presented in order and the user would like to minimize the setup time between talks.
I've noticed that my hyperref links return to the first frame, rather than to the linked frame. I tested the links with pdfpc and okular, where they do work. I am not sure if this is a bug or a suggestion for improvement.
I like pympress a lot, thanks for sharing it.
Text and images should be sharp on all slides
Open any PDF to start the presentation
On the first slide, everything (full screen slide + 2 smaller previews) is nice and sharp. When I switch to the next slide, it and all subsequent slides are rendered blurry, as if they were upscaled from a smaller resolution.
I can force a re-render by moving the vertical delimiter between the previews or by switching the screens with S, which makes everything on the current and the next slide appear sharp. The following slides are blurry again.
I suspect that this is some scaling issue where the pre-rendered slides don't use the correct resolution. pympress.log also seems to point towards that direction:
CRITICAL:pympress.main:Uncaught exception:

I am on Ubuntu 16.04 with Python 2.7 and installed the prerequisites as described in the readme. I tried to run the script on a .pdf and got errors like this.

To save resources and guarantee a perfect sync between the video in both windows, we should use a single player instance and split the output in both windows.
It does not seem possible out of the box. Relevant topics on the VLC forums:
libvlc_media_player_set_xwindow (libvlc_media_player_t *p_mi, uint32_t drawable)
No more than one window handle per media player instance can be specified. If the media has multiple simultaneously active video tracks, extra tracks will be rendered into external windows beyond the control of the application.
So basically extend libVLC and the python plugin, to use the clone splitter and embed the second output.
I am sending a modified version of 'pympress.po' - Polish locale
