Slide deck overview missing every 2nd slide about pympress HOT 5 CLOSED

The errors you’ve got in your logs are quite strange and should have prevented you from loading the deck view altogether. But aside from that can reproduce. It seems like the deck widget is understanding the wrong type of note pages (interleaved instead of second screen?)

logged errors

The errors started when I toggled Notes mode in the deck view. Pympress got stuck in the deck view after that. That's probably worth a separate issue.

deck widget understanding wrong type of note pages

Agreed.

Ok so this is fixed now. It was a combination of a number of rather subtle errors:

• your generated document has repeated page labels, as if it only had 2 pages each with a \pause command. Therefore, only showing 2 pages is actually intended.
  • This is something caused by the second screen mode, but can be disabled with \documentclass[hyperref={pdfpagelabels=false}]{beamer}.
  • Alternately, pympress can be set to ignore page labels and always display all pages by setting distinct-labels-only = off in the [deck-overview] section of the config
• the deck respected the initial notes position, but didn’t get the updates (e.g. when guessed from the document), which means the full page (including second screen) was rendered instead of only the interesting part.
• the deck partially ignored the distinct-labels-only option I mentioned above.

Partially fixed (thank you, for what that's worth):
Only the presented slides are shown now (i.e. notes are hidden), but I still don't see slides 2 and 4 from my MWE in the deck overview.

As mentioned above, only showing 2 pages is actually intended. There are 2 ways to fix that, that I’ve listed there too. See also for reference this tex.se post also reporting the page labeling issue.
