    You runa pretty old version of pbx (3.28) . Please upgrade If you use 4k playfield,y ou can setup also your nvidia driver (with pbx) to captures videos, but a big bug in nvidia driver is that portrait screens (like pinball arcade, are wring setup of fx3) are captured wrongly.

    Please post your log and ini file (the log file just after creating the video) Not copy paste tekst, but attach the files

    To be honnest @joyrider3774, I switch from steam.exe to the pinballfx3.ece too. The startup time of the table reduced with 3 seconds (and load a table in a couple of seconds now). It also doesn't do a online check on steam. @Robert.jolly if you launch "pinball fx3.exe" it will monitor that process by default. This is when you lanch another program like steam.exe or batch or own exe file to launch that kickoff yhe pinball fx3.exe If fx2 not closing on exe, I think you need to check @scutters suggestion. I also think that pbx is not running as Admin. I turned off UAC on my cab, so you never get that irritating popup when you want to run a program as admin.

    Ha ! Well I'm not a developer. I just want to help the community Just an ordinary IT admin with a lot of frustration. For an ordinary end user it must be simple Scutters. I think it is a bit dangerous to delete names that are not matching. Maybe it is because I made my own dmd's based on wheelimage name. Maybe thats a check I can build in ... let me think about that
  5. Mike_da_Spike
    Awesome ! And about the DMD/images/video .... I'm not keen on it to do that. PBX recorder doesn't work for me (all tables are screwed and rotated). Gamemanager works fine for me, but uses the description name instead of name within the XML. So not happy to implement it ... But if you want ....
  6. Mike_da_Spike
    Ok. Changed version to 1.2 It won't delete the disabled video's anymore It first check if cleaning directories exists, if not, just skip these
  7. Mike_da_Spike
    If you use a keyboard : (you can set it as you want, but this is default) or when using other input system :
  8. Mike_da_Spike
    Paste the exe in the pinballx directory.
  9. Mike_da_Spike
    Only ffmpeg.exe is needed. The rest will be don bin gamemanager.exe
  10. Mike_da_Spike
    Why exit with alt-f4 and not the pinballx inbuild exit function ?
  11. Mike_da_Spike
    Just download ffmpeg (just google it, or use the link above from terryred) and place ffmpeg.ece in the pinball folder. Thats it
  12. Mike_da_Spike
    I think That I should skip by default the disabled ones. So if you delete the whole entry in the XML , it can be cleaned too.
  13. Mike_da_Spike
    I will change the errors to informational this is when i cannot find a directory, I error it (didn't do a check if the directory is there)> thought it was default that all the directories should be there. So you can ignore those, but I will modify this in the weekend (if the temp getting below 20 degrees ...) So you're ok with it ? otherwise need to adjust the code (and need to add the disabled in the registry too and do the filter later) I see that you also have these entry in the log : skipping [Silver Slugger (Gottlieb 1990)], Because datemodified [6/11/2019 8:54:14 AM] <= [6/11/2019 9:03:39 AM] Does this means that the modified entries only contains 7 instead of 10 ? if so, i need to redo the calculation (I noticed you have some files to be deleted. When I runned it the forst time, it deleted a lot of double videos. because I don't want images, I clear the images folders (DMD, table and backglass) completely Also .. I want to create my own video's in MP4, so I delete always all the *.f4v files in the video's directory. these are mostly downloaded with gamemanager.exe (but I thought you don't use gamemanager at all)
  14. Mike_da_Spike
    I normally use ffmpeg to create/change videos. I use h264 mp4. Check these batchfiles from terryred to rotate videos https://vpinball.com/VPBdownloads/terryreds-ffmpeg-video-converter-scripts/ Btw. Background and playfield video can be created easily by gamemanager.exe. so you got videos from your own system
  15. Mike_da_Spike
    Good one. I use the entries from the registry and dont't put the disabled in it. I can do that. And about Dmd images/videos: this is a tricky part, because they are based on another name in the xml and could have strange characters in it. I could check for matching wheel names, but to be safe I skipped that part. Run it ones with the debug=true option and you see which files it will delete. I'm lazy too with these temperatures
  16. Mike_da_Spike
    Version 1.1 uploaded. In this version you can modify in your INI file a parameter to cleanup unused files (and a debug mode to check which files will be deleted) The check will be on the file name in the directories and the program check it in the XML if the description is the same. If not (because a version it changed) the file will be marked for deletion The next directories will be scanned in the media directory for the same PinballX sections that are in the INI file under [PINBALLX] section Backglass Images Table Images Table Images Desktop Table Videos Desktop Table Videos Backglass Videos Please run this on first time with CleanupDebug = True !!!!
  17. Mike_da_Spike
    Time friend, time. If I had 15 min... someone ask me to make a cleanup program too... My grandkids also need attention. My cab is on the attic and its too warm there to do anything. Plan is also to completely reconfigure the arcade cabinet. Time.. if we had more of it
  18. Mike_da_Spike
    This looks awesome @scutters. Good choice of music too ! I will give it a shot in my holiday (september)
  19. Mike_da_Spike
    Addition to the logfile of pbx. Shows with what privileges it is running. To check if pbx is runnings as administrator or as user
  20. Mike_da_Spike
    I see 2 different logs and 2 ini files The logs are from different versions. In 1 ini file i see launch-before.exe is loaded from your dmdext directory. Not sure what that is In the other ini file, i see the next line LaunchBeforeHideWindow=False So not hidden. But to be honnest, I'm pretty confused. I don't see the batch file that kick off dmdext
  21. Mike_da_Spike
    Awesome ! Glad I could help
  22. Mike_da_Spike
    Not at my cab now to check the names On the ftp server there is under my name the complete xml file for all tables Also, multiple users have it uploaded. Edit: you can also check under fx3 folder the filenames
  23. Mike_da_Spike
    Why not ? Did you contact Stuzza? He can make very nice artwork. And customized ! I was really happy with the design he made for me. I gave the ideas and stuzza created the artwork
  24. Mike_da_Spike
    You should setup pbx to exit the emulator and only use that key/button
  25. Mike_da_Spike
    Not sure where the errors come from. In your log. It looks like it is still not having all the access to monitor the vp995 process. Googling arround it is functions frOm .net frame work accessing your processes Found the next article that will give "Everyone" or a more specific user like "Authenicated Users" the right to debug programs: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/2d8c002c-0909-42f1-a69c-6c2ae6468ff8/workflowruntimestartruntime-throws-win32exception-access-is-denied?forum=windowsworkflowfoundation Maybe it helps.
