Using Database Manager - Back in July I reported I was not able to get my backglass to record a video and place it in the media file for the frontend use. Playfield and DMD were recording but no backglass recording attempted. You reported that I should "uncheck" "hide backglass during gameplay" in the default setting and in the individual game setting while recording videos. I never do bulk recordings. I record as I add tables, one at a time. I was still unable to get this feature to work, irregardless of how I treated the hide backglass in database manager. This moring I worked on it again. I discovered that I must use the legacy PinballX Game Manager and uncheck "hide backglass" for Goldeneye table. Once I did that I was able to record backglass as expected. It leads me to believe that at least on my system Database Manager is not playing well with PinballX when it comes to "hide backglass" options. It could be just a local problem with my system. I am sure others would be mentioning it if there was a coding issue.

I continued to struggle with this. I could not get my backglass to record a video irregardless of the settings on "hide or not hide". However, I discovered my problem this morning. I had to uncheck "hide backglass during game" in the settings for PinballX using the legacy settings exe. Evidently Database Manager was not overwriting this particular setting in PinballX on my system. I have not tested on additional tables but I was able to record a backglass for "Goldeneye" this morning after unchecking "hide backglass" in the PinballX "Settings EXE".
