Yep, getting a bit annoyed with it now. I'll see if I can knock up a small ahk script that brings to front for us later.

Just knocked up 3 minute video for a friend and thought I'd share it here too. Just a quick spin through the frontend showing some stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OTcVopaQB4&feature=youtu.be

Keep getting this now, well , been like it since the start on most tables. When you start a table with directb2s I have to alt+tab to bring the pinmame window in front of BG. Dracula & shadow are two tables I know that this has to be done on. FPlaunch made sure this was always in front. It maybe depending on whether the backglass is slower to load than the table on certain games. Vice versa. I cannot be the only one with this problem. Speak up!

I've tried quite a few now of the BYOAC wiki list. Tbh none cut it for me apart from this one called Jukebox Jockey. Bloody expensive but decent 30 day trial. Takes advantage of 2nd screen without any setup.

Yes , mentioned this ages ago. I haven't been using the feature because I can't be bothered to go in and move it

Just had a quick go but crashes everytime i scan music.

Yes, my bad, CV is only table that seems to do this for me.

AWESOME news!

Got myself some time to play some pinballx and got thinking when I looked in the information tab. I don't know about anyone else but I was thinking that it would be really good to build a database like mame info from IPDB. All this information & trivia for table can then be shown in the information tab. http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?any=dracula&search=Search+Database&searchtype=quick

Hey Lyan , I forgot to say there is a really lot easier way to grab sounds & music from roms. You just need a some program. If you do a search on VPF there is a tutorial for it. "Grabbing sounds from rom"

Like Tom says, all you need to do is make add it to custom system. Create an xml and you will see it in your menu. If I get a bit of time today I'll take a look.

I managed to do a couple not long ago by ripping certain songs from rom. My personal preference would be music from the table.

You mean Solid State & Electro Mechanical tables? If it isn't that , I'm not sure what you're trying to ask.

Next time you setup a B2S table add the following at the bottom of a tables script. Sub Table1_Exit():Controller.Stop:End Sub (Table1 being the name of the table in visual pinball) I don't expect you to go through and do every table but mine have been setup like this since the start of directb2s and controller.stop closes the b2s.

All good , nice job mate!

Oh wow, good man Tom. Only just seen this , will try it now.

Yes, sorry. I still never had the problem come back anyway after LAV was disabled. Cheers Tom. Very simple you will see!

Yes , please do Tom. You have done an amazing job so far. I do have my own simple stats / hi scores & gamercard done with ahk but probably won't cut it to what you can do with it. If you check out http://www.pinemhi.com/ you can download dnadisturbers program which grabs all the info from the pinmame window and can print the scores from that to txt. Also works with FP fpram scores.

Well, apart from having no "officialy" supported high scores in pinballx there isn't much else you're missing to top it. I still have love for HP and you won't see me hate on it but updates are slow and the whole FPlaunch thing is long winded.

Downloaded latest & tested for 5 or so minutes, opening tables, watching the gameplay/tutorials , spinning wheel and stopping. It's been ok, there was only one point where it didn't show a video, but going to next table and back made it appear again. Doing that before it wouldn't come back.

Go to the PinballX directory and run settings.exe . All can be done from there.

We're all in different boats because that is the only way I can see the bug happening. Scroll a few tables, stop, check video. Rinse & repeat. Like I've allready mentioned, some settings go black quicker than others, with disabled LAV I have yet to see it come back. All working fine.

I've tested quite a few variations of the codecs and some go black straight away or sometimes after a few wheel scrolls. Some settings make it happen quicker than others. I haven't seen it yet with how it is now but I don't use attract mode.

Does not help in what way. Works for 5 minutes or not at all?

Well I think I've sorted mine here. I did try the swap thing but still the same, it didn't happen as quick as it did before but it did happen. What I tried was to reset the shark settings and go back to default and in the audio tab disable LAV audio. I've spun though the wheel a couple of times stopping at random. Watched a gameplay & tutorial for different games and it hasn't happened yet.
