Version 9.9.4 I have converted most to VPX already but there are just some that havent been made for VPX like Eight ball. They were all working fine, not sure after what that they started doing it. I found another thread where someone had the same issue with other tables. Yes it is a focus issue. http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=37555&hl=

VP9 and no error messages

Almost a month later and no ideas what is causing this???

Anyone????

I think I remember installing lav codecs, are they for the video files to be able to play when browsing PinballX? I use PBXrecorder to make table and backglass videos. Also what video files are you referring to? Table or backglass? They are mp4 format.. Just noticed Fathom does it too, seems like only older games do it. log.txt PinballX.ini

I have a few games that I have noticed lately that the playfield will not load, unless I click the mouse one time on it. Back to the future, Eight Ball, and Medusa are the 3 that I have found so far. When loaded with Pinball X the backglass and DMD both load but the playfield stays Black till I click the mouse one time on it. Doesnt do it launching directly from Visual Pinball. Any ideas?

I didnt miss it I have tried all 3 options. Moving the dmdext to a folder fixed the script running issue but that is not my issue and didnt fix anything, the issue is getting the dmd to display, and not flicker, when the windowed option is selected. If I select the full screen option in pinballfx3 then the DMD will work but there will be no backglass video, if I select windowed or borderless windowed, the backglass video will play but the DMD will not work.

I do not have a dmdext folder, I have the dmdext.exe and the log file in my c drive, that is what I understood from reading the directions is what I need as the other files are for vpinmame which I am not using? I am only using it for fx3. I have read them over and over and I could be missing something but I dont think so? There is also another issue listed on the giutuhub site with the same problem that hasnt been fixed. freezy also replied to my posts on another board but obviously it isnt working yet. https://github.com/freezy/dmd-extensions/issues/43 Yes the file is unblocked and I have done the 2 things listed on the github site that were supposed to help with flickering, they didnt fix it. It works fine by typing it into the command prompt, or in the script, just without the destination wording, but it flickers? And it only flickers if the setting inside pinballfx3 is set to windowed, if it is set to full screen then the dmd works fine, its just the backglass video wont stay playing.

Yes, it just wont run the dmd with this command in the script --destination=pindmd3 If I type the script manually into the command prompt the error it gives me is --d/--destination option violates format

Yes, I did that with this exact text dmdext_Path=c:\dmdext Run, c:\dmdext.exe mirror --source=pinballfx3 --destination=PinDMD3 --no-virtual -q,, Hide exitapp dmdext is in my c drive. My dmd doesnt do anything when that is run. It runs if I remove the --destination=pindmd3 wording, but its the same flickering as just typing the commands in the command prompt. If I use exactly what you typed it says file not found dmdext_Path=c:\dmdext Run, %dmdext_Path%\dmdext.exe mirror --source=pinballfx3 --destination=pindmd3 --no-virtual -q,, Hide exitapp

I couldn't get it to work at all, this is what the script I made says exactly. It also doesnt work if I type it directly into the command prompt, it just shows a list of commands available, im sure I have something typed wrong. dmdext_Path=c:\dmdext Run, c:\dmdext.exe mirror --source=pinballfx3 --PinDMD3 --no-virtual -q,, Hide exitapp

Ill try that this evening.

dmdext mirror --source=pinballfx3 --no-virtual -quit-when-done Is the command I am using, I am running it directly for now each time I test it. Im not sure how to start a BG video and then launch fx3 as it will take control of the backglass when it loads wont it? I didnt have the dmdext issue until the backglass video started playing from the "fix" so it is a follow up to my original post.

I tried to post in my other thread and couldnt because it was closed. I got the video backglass to keep playing in pinballfx3 when loaded from pinballx by changing the setting in pinballfx3 to windowed instead of full screen. Now when I run dmdext to get the dmd to my real dmd, it flickers badly. Basically if I have the setting in pinballfx3 set to windowed, the real dmd flickers and if I put it to full screen, the backglass videos wont keep playing but the dmd looks ok. Enclosed are my log and ini files. log.txt PinballX.ini

Thank you! That seemed to fix it.

Sorry, didnt know that wasnt allowed, even though for FX2 it is the same issue I am having. Here are my files. log.txt PinballX.ini

I am having the same issue, how did anyone resolve it? I have my game manager with pinball x set with the video and hide backglass is unchecked, the video plays fine while browsing pinball x but disappears in pinball fx3? In pinball fx3 I have backglass re positioning turn off.

I cant get any backglass videos to run while playing a game in Pinball FX3. If I remember right I had it working but then trying to setup dmdext I must have messed some setting up and I cannot get them to load anymore. I have tried putting them in the correct folder and making sure the names matched. Any ideas?
