For some reason Database manager is pointing to database files in C:\Temp (e.g. XML file [C:\Temp\PinballX\Databases\Visual Pinball\Visual Pinball.xml]) and also has errors like Table directory [h:\-PINBALL-\- VISUAL PINBALL -\Tables] does not exist Did you install a test version of PinballX in C:\Temp? - If so reinstall to the correct (actual pinballx install folder), the install path used by database manager is read from the registry set during a pinballx install.

See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/772054/failed-to-load-the-dll-hostfxrdll.html Looks like you might need to install KB4457144 (or you could try the PinballX XP/Vista version that doesn't use .net core 6) But why a new install with win7?!

A (not so) brief history of DMD style loading videos and how they evolved - Loading videos - PinballX Media Projects - Spesoft Forums (gameex.com), a lot of the frames used for the dmd overlays are in that thread... That then further evolved to Mikes automated app, now up tp V3! - Generate Loading Videos - PinballX - Spesoft Forums (gameex.com)

Ahh, ok - was just wondering if it was somehow related to VPX fullscreen or some other setting there. Maybe try changing the VPX launch parameters to an invalid exe just to see what happens on return to the wheel after a failed launch. Trust you to find find odd behaviour during a hardware upgrade

Weird. Does it happen with all emulators Mike?

Is it a new install or an update, and what version is being installed (the normal PinballX version or the xp/vista version [32 or 64bit])? If an update try deleting flash.ocx and running the installer again. (i'd also be tempted to click ignore just to see what happens - but that's just me!)

Not sure if you've changed resolution back now, but that looks like VPX isn't running fullscreen (so not Pinballx?). Check the monitor res selection in VPX video preferences menu if that's the case. Make sure you leave scaling at 100% whatever res you use! I think pup packs work on relative position, so changing res of the playfield would mean you need to adjust pup positions, think you'd need to run PinUpPackEditor in your pinupsytem folder and then click on config display locations. @Mike_da_Spikeknows that problem only too well! Hah, yes FOV can blow it up quite a bit.. i normally zoom back out using the z offset and then fine tune with x and y scales (just make sure you leave z scale at 1)

That's a new one to me.. i have no problem with PinballX @120hz, but don't have a 240hz screen to test on to try and reproduce.

Yeah, you're right some are missing - but the majority are there (and i'm assuming @Karmeck isn't only looking at one of the tables that doesn't have playfield media!)

A screenshot of the 'playfield as small box' might also be useful - i thought pinballx scaled up whatever media it has found to fill the screen / pinballx window. Might just need setting to run in windowed mode in display settings rather than full screen, and then maximising the pinballx window when opened. I don't like empty corners on the screen either (i don't like to see a lot of the backs of flippers either). Normally when adjusting pov i end up with inclination around 5, FOV around 30 and layback around 60 and then fill the screen (using z offset and x and y scale) for SS tables with ramps, but there isn't a POV that suits all tables and some tables you just have to live with some black corners.

The media audit looks ok too. What do you see instead of playfield videos - just a black screen under the wheel image, or the default pinballx no playfield media found image? If it's a black screen then codecs are still the most likely suspect. Make sure you don't have k-lite or others installed as well as LAV. If so uninstall them then reinstall LAV (default options during the install should be fine) as previously suggested.

Ahh ok, i see.. that's no use then. Agree that for only two systems suppressing the system wheel images works best visually, but then you don't want the wheel underlay either... think it has to be a feature request! Edit - fwiw, i'd just scrap the underlay for visual pinball

Sorry, I have no idea what codecs that means. In the ini file you posted desktop mode is set to off in Pinballx, if you have changed that setting then the media folders used in PinballX also change (videos need to go in Table Videos, not Table Videos Desktop). But that's just a guess as to a possible cause of the symptoms you're seeing if codecs aren't the issue, without more info guessing is all we can do.

Have you made any changes to the pc after removing it from the cab, installing software etc? (i notice a shortcut to MPC-HC on the desktop video, were extra codecs installed on top of the LAV codecs etc)

I'm not sure why PinballX isn't picking up your table videos (or images), but as you have file matching set to False make sure the videos are named exactly as the table name or table description (and check which folder they are in) - a screen shot of the files and a copy of you database xml might help us. For the FTP / Gameex online you should use your email address now rather than forum userid - that was changed a while ago for security reasons.

Are you using a single underlay image in PinballX\Media\Images or using an underlay by system (underlays placed in PinballX\Media\System Underlays with the underlay named to match the system name)? Not checked, but it's probably worth trying the System Underlays option if you're not using that as i suspect that won't show in the systems wheel.

That depends how you count it - the first wheel image is Addams Family, it's just not the selected game (not that helps you much, sorry)

Ok. so it's a brand new install on a new pc, just using your old pinball hardware. In that case most obvious thing to check is that LAV codecs are installed - https://forums.gameex.com/forums/files/file/2451-lav-video-codecs/

Can you clarify. Does this mean you have a 2nd install with the same issue?, as i understand it the original pc was sold with the cab - or was the cab sold without the pc?. I'm not sure if the issue is with a brand new install on a different pc or with the install on the original pc that was working before transit. Please also attach a copies of the log.txt and pinballx.ini files

Pbx recorder will only record a virtual DMD, you'll probably need to uses freexys dmddevice to output a video - see https://forums.gameex.com/forums/topic/25148-resolved-pbx-recorder-record-dmd-without-3rd-screen/

Damn, you got me there Mike I'd best get on it, especially now it's free for all! Edit - and done!

That's me!!! Maybe i'm more lazy doing it my old school way?, once i'm at the cab tweaking stuff i'm not walking back and forth to use remote desktop too I have wildly different colour settings on the desktop and the cab... desktop is dimmed quite a bit which i find a lot easier on the eyes for anything text related, and the cab playfield screen is a lot brighter with gamma tweaks to get a more 'vivid' effect in game - so remoting might not work too well for LUT's etc in my case anyway.
