Update - 16.04.2025 – Improved Projection & New Locking Features

Projection

Projection to a second display has been redesigned to fix previous limitations and offer more flexibility.
Projection is now handled by a separate program called Sound Show Display, which is launched automatically by Sound Show and communicates via WebSocket.

Here’s what’s new:

• No More Forced Fullscreen on the main Sound Show window

• Choose Your Screen: Select exactly which display to use for projection.

• (Pro Only): Send projections to multiple screens for complex setups.

• Display Manager: A new panel has been added that allows you to start a new Sound Show Display, start or stop the display server and see the number of connected displays.
  

• Note: Because projection now runs in a separate window, the integrated preview inside Sound Show has been removed.

Playlist

• Fade Control: You can now choose whether to apply fade-ins/outs when using playlists.
  (Toggle this in Options → Main → "Fades Enabled")

Item Locking System

(Already available, but now officially documented!)

While the Played indicator helps track what’s been used, it doesn't prevent accidental re-triggers. That’s where the item lock feature comes in:

• Lock Individual Items to prevent them from being triggered again by mistake.

• Auto-Lock on Play: Categories (tabs) can now be set to automatically lock items after they’ve been played.

• Bulk Lock/Unlock: New actions have been added in the category popup menu to quickly lock or unlock all items in a category.

Thanks again for your continued feedback and support!
