Issue was fairly random when it occurred... but i haven't seen it since updating to v4.45. Pretty sure it's resolved. Thanks Tom

I meant with the quotes around it, LaunchBeforeParameters="[TABLEFILEWOEXT]"

Ahh, sorry.. settings for launch before in ini file might need to be; LaunchBeforeParameters="[TABLEFILEWOEXT]"

Try passing parameter as [TABLEFILEWOEXT] rather than [TABLEFILE] I think the batch might be looking for a video named e.g. 'tablename.fpt.mp4'

Gotcha. Didn't realise it tried nvidia method first and logged both attempts when on a radeon. Ignore my previous comment!

I might be wrong, but doesn't that log show recording the same screen twice with slightly different parameters? If so i'd say there is an issue, maybe just recording desktop setups via pbx?

Weird, i've restarted pinballx again a few times since and have not seen the issue recur, so it isn't every time it starts. Edit - looks like the issue can just occur when rotating the wheel, and the detail display gets stuck on a seemingly random table. It doesn't have to be on pinballx startup.

It's on first start. Seems to be ok after the first time a game has been displayed in the wheel. Here's what i'm seeing (this is on desktop test setup so it's not just on the cab. Ignore the Centaur wheel for AMH if you can!). Going right in the wheel and detail area does not refresh, then going back left and the display is then correct. pbx.mp4

Hi, using pinballx 4.44 i've noticed that the Additional Detail does not refresh when you first select a table in the wheel (it still show last table), the details get updated on the 2nd time the table is selected. So going left and right in the wheel will refresh the details. Possibly related to https://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/24855-resolved-pbx-442-game-exit/ PinballX.ini log.txt

Cab button number 7 in your setup for exitemulator?. That should work if you pressed the button in setup.exe to register it. If it isn't working are you running VPX as admin?, if so try removing that and/or running pinballx as admin. I guess when using keyboard you press Q to exit table, is that mapped in VPX to exit table too?. Try mapping a different pinballx key.

Yes it is! Thanks

Thanks for the updates Tom, Small issue to report with v4.42, on game exit the additional detail isn't displaying images for the system (i use png) or company logo (i use gif). If i rotate the wheel the issue is resolved when the next game is selected and the display is normal again, this only occurs immediately after exiting a game. Normal image; On game exit log.txt PinballX.ini

No problem, just as well you mentioned those two files 1/ In setttings.exe go to General Settings - make sure you have Systems List enabled (that should then show a 'systems' option in the menu which i think is what you want) 2/ Other visual pinball version setup will be similar to what you have now for VP10 (just set it up as a different system under Other systems in settings). For FP and FX setup have a look in the FAQ section https://www.gameex.info/forums/forum/32-faqs-guides-other-useful-information/ (I don't use either)

Maybe you did select pin2dmd support during pinballx install as i don't think you should have those files in you pinballx directory when running a virtual dmd Safest way to check is install pinballx in a new directory to test (you can delete later), don't select to install pin2dmd support. Copy your database folder and ini file across to the new install and let us know if the issue is still present.

All my media is 30FPS (mainly created using pbx recorder which sets it at that). 30fps is fine for table/backglass videos etc. I'd guess your bottleneck is the external drive as you suggest as i don't think your other hardware would have an issue @60fps. Maybe dropping to 30 will help in short term, moving to your M2 drive is probably the fix. (can't help with the FP editor question either, better bet for that question would be on vpforums)

I think you should try either, disabling the Esc key in VPX or mapping pinballx to a different key to exit table. And then re-enable exclusive fullscreen in VPX

Just tried the dodgy video and it works for me in Pinballx, so after all that it probably is just LAV codecs.

Are you using a real DMD? .. it's not in the pinballx log

Screenres.txt should be created when you setup the backglass program installed with VPX. Does the game work outside pinballx, if you just open it with visual pinball? I suspect the issue is with VPX setup, so if the game doesn't work outside pinballx have a look at this document http://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/ba2917_ad2b870882264b7b9372a7a406fe21d3.pdf from page 10. Someone else may have a link to a better / more recent guide.

You should be able to run VPX in exclusive fullscreen with pinballx without issue. In VPX Keys Nudge & DOF settings do you have Disable ESC Key checked? For the backglass, so the video is playing - just behind any other open windows, and not a black screen? (in which case the LAV stuff can probably be ruled out). Do you normally have other windows open when you start pinballx, can you close them first?

Did you install it? For visual pinball try the all in one installer https://vpinball.com/VPBdownloads/vpx-installer-10-6-0/. It includes B2S server. Please attach pinballx ini and log files, also give it a bit more info on what you have installed.

Is pinballx and/or vpx set to run as admin? For the black screen, as you have the latest codecs installed can you post a screenshot of your lav settings (lav video configuration screen). Thanks

Pinballx lite will run on very low specs (see https://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/16004-news-pinballx-198/) Are there any difference in compatibility settings or run as administrator for pinballx and pinballx lite on your setup?

Updated to V1.5.1 Bensa and Nuova Bell Games added.

Also, if the backglass window is not in the foreground, then what is? (another app, or is it just a black pinballx backglass window)
