PinballX Database Manager 24.10.11.0

This killed my installed version.  Now I get "Could not find PinballX installation directory."  I've been able to update just fine in the past.  Even loaded it, downloaded new version, closed old version, installed new version and error.

Never mind.  I got it working by installing the latest update to PinballX.  Thank you.

This message appears when it cannot find a correct install of PinballX .Net core, PinballX Legacy or Touch-play.

If a previous version of DBM is working fine, and a newer version is giving you issues you can always revert back and create an issue in the support thread

Having trouble after upgrade.  I recently upgraded my 32-bit VPX to 32/64-bit.  In my Visual Pinball directory, I created two separate table directories as follows:  Tables (for the existing 32-bit tables) and Tables 64.  I also deleted VPinballX and was left with VPinballX - x86 and VPnballX - x64.  In PinballX, I changed the Visual Pinball main settings to load VPinballX - x86 from the Tables directory.  I also created a new "Other Systems" for the 64-bit VPX version and told PinballX to look at Tables 64 and load VPinballX - x64.  The good news is that PinballX works fine.  A 64-bit table from the Tables 64 directory loads fine (I know this because I copied an upgraded 64-bit version of an existing 32-bit table and put it in the Tables 64 directory only and it loaded fine).

The problem is PinballX Database Manager won't let me add or delete any new tables.  I'm getting  the following error:

clXMLfiles_SelectedIndexChanged    Executable [VPinballX-x86.exe] for directory [C:\Games\Visual Pinball\Tables] is unknown. Cannot check for new/deleted tables

I tried overwriting the installation of PinballX Database Manager with a new one hoping it would take in the new data from PinballX, but it didn't work.  It also doesn't show the new "Other System" I set-up for the 64-bit Visual Pinball in PinballX as an option in the Database Manager.  In PinballX Game Manager I am able to select the Visual Pinball 64 Other System from the menu, but the select list is empty.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

As in mentioned in my previous post: please use the support thread for issues, as I cannot track issues here.

VPinballX-x86.exe is not an original  supported exe file. Starting from10.8 VPinballX.exe is 32 bit and VPinball64.exe is used for 64 bit of the DX version.

If you put your issue on the support page along with your ini and log file, we will check it further and do a follow up on it

Changed the VPX file names and it works great now.  Thank you Mike!

i like it when i record videos in bulk does it change tables automatic it seems it recording same table long period of time

As mentioned in the review, I love everything about this and your tools

Feedback: Darkmode: The font color on the cabinet image is gray, which (to me) looks a little odd on the green or red background.  The yellow rounded buttons seem to actually be rectangular because the corners are white.

Question: The loading Media seems to only be for the Loading Images folder.  I'm using the Loading Videos folder with the de-randomizer plugin and the tool (I forgot the name) that creates loading videos with the animated overlays.  Am I missing a setting or post/comment that would allow the red loading hourglass be green if I have Loading Videos?

Can you post a new topic in the general forum for that, attaching your pinballx\config\pinballx.ini, pinballx\log\log.txt and pinballx\plugins\PBXLoadingImage_log.txt files. Thanks.

Thank you for your feedback.
Best way to get good support is to use the support thread for DBM, or create a new issue in the general PinballX forum

Regarding the font : As the dark mode needed another font colour for the images, we experimented with different colours.iI needs to show fine with all the image background colours we use (red/green/yellow and transparant).
This colour was the one we agreed to that was showing the best on all 3 colours.

we called them orange buttons ....  and should be in dark mode rounded.
like in the following screenshot :

Edit: Ok. We are humans too. The white corners was an issue that we should noticed during testing. It only shows when the language is set to another language.  Latest release fixed this. Thanks for letting us know

Hi

I have been using the game manager for some time now with no issues.

I thought I would give the Database Manager a go after reading so many positive reviews, at first glance it all seems great.

Installation went flawlessly however I cannot connect using the FTP settings, Username and pass are the same from my account and the games manager and work no problem.

I get the message ERROR INFO    :    CheckFTPAccess    The remote server returned an error: (504) 504 Command not implemented for that parameter

Could not connect to GameEx FTP server
Return message: [The remote server returned an error: (504) 504 Command not implemented for that parameter
.]

Any ideas how to solve this?

Much appreciate any info.

Cheers Alan

Hi Alan, thanks for your review.

Too bad your FTP isn't working. Thats (besides MEGA links) a very nice feature for getting the media easily.
We don't use the review part for technical support, so do you mind to switch to the forum itself to check whats going on ? :
