It is fixed in 19.07, now available. Thank you for letting me know about the issue. i had a quick look at the new java front end when you reported the issue. it did not look like something i could utilise. You don't need the 32 bit version, but it does add game music.

I had a look. i can confirm the issue. I will try and get it fixed for the next release. Shouldnt be a problem. Just go back to what you were using until I get it fixed.

ill take a look.

I am not motivated to work on this over other work right now. Its working and stable so not a priority. i will hopefully get to it at a later date. Marking this as unresolved and closing. The issue is noted but on the back burner for now.

ill just try and work with Mike when I can get to it. he says he can duplicate some stuff and he wants to help. As i think i said though, the issue seems to occur when reinitializing the display etc not exiting the table, although i realise that looks like slow exit. it could be xdmd, it could be directx, or it could be the ini file i provide old versions for the purpose of fixing new versions. it can indicate where things went wrong. There are other things that come up that make me do new versions. Your just not experiencing those issues because i fixed them People update other software too such as Visual Pinball and Windows which required updates. i do my best in the face of adversity it seems like pinballx is quite stable right now and works so i don't consider this a priority.

not very motivating for me but no worries... sometimes i need to fix other things that require updates you know. like you say, whats the point. why bother doing anything at all

nope, completely unrelated and don't think it applies to 6.22 anyway. Im thick enough skinned but probably hard to help you with anything. sorry. i will look into it though. Mike is helping.

Maybe try FlexDMD over UltraDMD. I helped invent it but I think FlexDMD is still supported.

Thank you for testing. Looks like you are using full screen exclusive in PinballX too. So doubt its that and it does really speed up the display, at least on my cab (I have not done my PC upgrades yet). Goes from skipping frames to silky smooth.

yeah, what's the point. Maybe i should have not bothered creating the front end!

this is full screen windowed in pinballx not visual pinball.

i will have a look for you buddy. Sorry though, please try and be patient, I am a bit behind.

note i do see this in the log: Set Visual Pinball Player Foreground Which is a newer change where it sets focus.

It doesnt stop playing the video, it just lets the emulator/system take over.

My best guess is it is still video related. NetVideoPlayer.dll does the playback during loading.

Thanks buddy. I keep getting distracted but hopefully won't be long.

just a silly moment and a bit of fun buddy. helps me forget all the bullshit going on

What!? You don't know those?
