*The hymnal content is conditional based on whether or not you have entered links to licensed material from Herald House. If nothing is linked, the commmunion prayers in English, French and Spanish are included and hymns are grouped by the hymnal categories. Each hymn has hymn number, title, web links (Beyond the Walls, Community of Christ Europe, Lamoni Heartland) and copyright permission summary. Public domain hymn texts are included with author credits. If either Digital Song Lyrics and/or Audio Recordings are linked, the full set of hymnal indexes are cross-linked with each hymn, providing easy navigation. With Digital Song Lyrics, you get the fully searchable text of all hymns (not just the public domain hymns). With Audio Recordings, the individual recordings can be linked and played.

ScriptureViewer can also play your .mp3 audio and .mp4 videos (you must acquire such on your own, ScriptureViewer doesn't record such) that are in linked directories and whose name includes the hymn number. Such recordings are presented as a link with the corresponding hymns. For video capture, the author has used both the pair YT-DLP with FFmpeg (both freeware) and Easy Youtube Video Downloader, a browser add-on available for several popular browsers. Other tools are also available. Both capture options have been used in Windows, MAC and Linux to capture .mp4 files from the A/V links offered. While the Video Downloader full version isn't freeware, it is available for a nomimal fee. As youtube regularly updates the streaming rules, both options need regular updates and occasionally neither is able to create an .mp4 file until the next update.
