Hi, I have coded an AutoHotkey script to capture video for playfield, backglass, and fullDMD screens for PinballY. Why? I am capturing all three screens simultaneously, so it is a lot quicker than Pinball Y's built-in screen recorder. And it is cool to have the DMD display synchronous with action on the playfield. I built it for attract mode, but it could be adapted for gameplay capture on a cabinet. Last time I checked PinballX capture screens in sequence. It is OBS-Studio based. It will capture Future Pinball as well as Visual Pinball. It can be adapted to work with any games that players run on a cabinet. PinballY's GDI-based capture does not support Future Pinball. I've tried NVidia Experience based screen capturing with Future Pinball with weird results, an interpolation of playfield and backglass screen captures in a single stream. It takes advantage of GPU-based encoding and hardware acceleration to perform near real-time single pass captures even on my modest hardware configuration - better quality output, done faster, and with smaller file sizes. It's the latest step in the automated media capture work that I started back in 2014. See OP. PinballY's database is similar to PinballX. The behavior is a bit different in that PinballY matches to media solely based on the description tag so there are no invalid Windows characters allowed. PinballX last time I checked can match to media on either the description tag or the game name tag. I think getting the script working with PinballX would be a matter of adding some more error handling. Check it out! Includes instructions. Attached. CapScreensOBS.zip

Hello friend, Thank you for your message. On this moment DBA doesn't support VPX 10.8 INI'S yet as VPX is still in beta. But @scuttersand I already discussed this and it will be added when VPX 10.8 will be released. We also discussed the rename of the ini file when updating the table (and directb2s file). It's on our list and in our minds, but nothing coded yet. So be patience and all will work out with new release after vpx releases the final version

Hello Friends, Thank you very much for creating this DATABASE MANAGER. It works excellently and makes the task of keeping so many tables updated much easier. From what I could see, .ini files are not supported, right? For example, if I update a table and the name of the file changes, the database manager should also change the name of the .ini file.

I just wanted to take a few minutes to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Please take the time to spend with your family be it with the one you were born into and/or the one you made from your friendships along the way. This season brings with blessings for many, but curses for some. As we get older, we see more empty seats at the table. We notice we are moving a little slower and the reality that our seat will one day be empty is sobering for some, saddening to most. Forums, social media, and text messages fill some of the voids and the time, but there's nothing like a phone call to an old friend or exchanging stories from the past with family over a cup of something hot. My Christmas wish for you is that you are not alone. If not for just one day, put aside whatever spat or differences exist and tell your parents and siblings that you love them. I tell mine every day, even though their "earthly ears" have gone in recent years and I only feel their pressnce in the stories I share with my family and in my heart. Rekindle an old friendship or maybe even a love. Christmas miracles do happen, but unlike a Hallmark movie, someone has to make the first effort and all involved have to work to keep the fires stoked. May God's blessings be with you all! Mike

Good work. Thanks @Tom Speirs. I'm not able to test, but I trust your fix. For removing flash.ocx, here's a small procedure :

Its fixed in 6.04. it was an error in the installer. You will have to manually remove flash.ocx from the PinballX install folder. That takes a little work,
