When I need advanced media capabilities in my presentations I do them with QML : https://github.com/ec1oud/qml-presentation-system - you can do nice things like putting a whole 3d renderer in there. It's a complete programming language used for UI. Else if it's simpler stuff I do them in LaTeX with beamer but you need to use the proprietary Acrobat as a PDF reader (ugh)if you want to ensure proper video playback in my experience. If you don't need videos / more media stuff then it's the safer - PDFs work everywhere, on every OS (that can drive an HDMI output at least ;p).

Hi,
I'm in a student group where we organize monthly conferences with public personnalities, and during the conference we use a powerpoint (c) presentation to show images, video, text related to the presentation.
Only last time we had issues with the powerpoint (and the macbooks they ran on) so I decided to step in and move us to something more reliable.
I'm therefore looking for software (preferably FOSS) that runs on arch, which can broadcast video, audio and text on a screen connected through HDMI whilst being controlled from the computer's screen. Ideally the software would leave little room for error, be reliable/stable, and be rather easy to manipulate live.
Thanks in advance for your help
