Thanks Joyrider. Do you already have a wheel image and dmd videos

@scutters did mostly all the work for this release. He had the idea of using the google sheet from Dux Retro and add it to the IPDB list for the original tables and to do a check if a newer version was available. Thanks mate for this wonderful release. Please, if you download the program and you like it, please give as a 5 star rate on the download page. this will give me and @scutters the satisfaction of users that like our work .

I did all that stuff, but properly with old tables. I will check wit a terry red table

Ok. Well. Tested it indeed with old tables (i thought knight rider) and in full screen it took ages before something happend. Running non fs worked. I will give it a change in a few week. Holiday starts in september for me, and I have a lot to do on arcade and pinball cabinet !

Well... I will try again. When all setting to full screen, it became very slow. And have a pretty decent system ( not according to @scutters)

nice one ! Good job ! For some reasons fp isn't working on my cab correctly, thats why I skipped it

Good one @scutters! Didn't think of that. You can check in the log.txt file what parameter pbx give to your batch file

Test it from the command prompt. Run the batch file with a table, so you see what is happening

Not following you, but if you use a batch file, the naming in the database must be exact the same as the filenames of the video's pictures and tables

me neither ! learning all the time

gotcha ! Sorry, think I removed it. I'm not able to test. Don't use imageview or future pinball. Just try to help you with this mate

Yeah, A Readon card is in the machine and the first try is with the NVIDIA codec (h264_nvenc). Think that fails and it retries with the normal codec

Don't give up mate ! not sure what you mean with :

You getting almost get there (sorry mate it take sol long) Lets start with a small batch course if you run the batchfile (lets call it fb.bat) the parameters behind are in order (with a space in between FP.Bat 1 2 3 4 So %1=1, %2=2, %3=3 etc If you have just 1 parameter (Let say [Abra ca Dabra (gottlieb 1975)] and you don't put double quotes behind it, you will have 5 parameters FP.bat Abra Ca Dabra (Gottlieb 1975) So, %1=Abra %2=Ca %3=Dabra %4=(Gottlieb %5=1975) but you want to check the complete file name, so you do : FP.bat "Abra Ca Dabra (Gottlieb 1975)" This is just 1 parameter. So %2 will never be filled So to ckeck if a video exists or a picture : @Echo off set strCheck=%1 set strCheck=%strCheck:"=% if exist "C:\PinballX\Media\Future Pinball\DMD Videos\%strCheck%.mp4" goto DMD if exist "C:\PinballX\Media\Future Pinball\DMD Images\%strCheck%.png" goto NODMD Rem nothing found GOTO EOF :DMD cmd /c "C:\Future Pinball\FutureDMD.exe" GOTO EOF :NODMD cmd /c "C:\Future Pinball\Scripts\Image_Monitor_View.exe" "C:\PinballX\Media\Future Pinball\DMD Images\%strCheck%.png" GOTO EOF :EOF (and if nothing is found, just go to EOF after that) EDIT: I copied your lines for DMD and NON DMD, but both won't launch a table name ! NODMD will only launch image viewer and DMD launches FutureDMD will launch, but without table. So adjust the launching part

According to the log, it captures and exits in just 65 seconds : 02:49:01.03 28/7/2020: FFMPEG.exe -f gdigrab -framerate 30 -offset_x 0 -offset_y 0 -video_size 1080x1920 -t 00:00:30 -i desktop -c:v h264_nvenc -an -preset lossless "c:\users\juan\appdata\local\temp\tmp623e896382222.mp4" 02:49:01.66 28/7/2020: FFMPEG.exe -f gdigrab -framerate 30 -offset_x 0 -offset_y 0 -video_size 1080x1920 -t 00:00:30 -i desktop -c:v libx264 -crf 0 -preset ultrafast "c:\users\juan\appdata\local\temp\tmp623e896382222.mp4" 02:49:32.36 28/7/2020: FFMPEG.exe -i "c:\users\juan\appdata\local\temp\tmp623e896382222.mp4" -vf "transpose=1,vflip,hflip" -c:v h264_nvenc -an -rc vbr_hq -cq:v 31 -b:v 0 -pix_fmt yuv420p -f mp4 -movflags +faststart "D:\PinballX\MEDIA\Visual Pinball\Table Videos\24 (Stern 2009) - v.2.0.1 - rev.1 [FSS].mp4" 02:49:32.58 28/7/2020: FFMPEG.exe -i "c:\users\juan\appdata\local\temp\tmp623e896382222.mp4" -vf "transpose=1,vflip,hflip" -c:v libx264 -an -crf 21 -pix_fmt yuv420p -f mp4 -movflags +faststart -c:v libx264 -an -crf 21 -pix_fmt yuv420p -f mp4 "D:\PinballX\MEDIA\Visual Pinball\Table Videos\24 (Stern 2009) - v.2.0.1 - rev.1 [FSS].mp4" 02:50:04.47 28/7/2020: Playfield video capture success 02:50:04.48 28/7/2020: Exit System Control Pressed 02:50:07.04 28/7/2020: Exiting 02:50:07.05 28/7/2020: Showing Taskbar 02:50:07.07 28/7/2020: Unhiding Mouse Cursor 02:50:07.09 28/7/2020: Disposing Plugins 02:50:07.09 28/7/2020: Saving Settings 02:50:07.09 28/7/2020: Bye So that looks good. Also pbx quits fine. So not sure what you still see. Is maybe visual pinball still open ? Try running pinballx as admin

Sorry, copy/paste make a mess of it This is an test I just did, just replace your values : @Echo off set strVideo=%1 set strVideo=%strVideo:"=% if exist "C:\Pinball\PinballX\Media\Visual Pinball\DMD Videos\%strVideo%.mp4" goto found GOTO :Notfound :Found ECHO FOUND GOTO EOF :Notfound ECHO NOT FOUND GOTO EOF :EOF Output : C:\Users\mike>test "Abra Ca Dabra (Gottlieb 1975)" FOUND C:\Users\mike>test "Abra Ca Dabra (Gottlieb 1975)1" NOT FOUND The Videoname needs to be between double quotes given to the cmd file (I called it test.cmd) So first hit send you to found and next sends you to not found. you can put all your logic under to :found or :Not found This is the same as : @Echo off set strVideo=%1 set strVideo=%strVideo:"=% if exist "C:\Pinball\PinballX\Media\Visual Pinball\DMD Videos\%strVideo%.mp4" (echo Found) else (echo not found) I don't have future pinball, so I tested it with my paths . I hope this make sense and now you are able to find a video and launch it with future dmd.exe or with imageviewer

Please provide your log.txt file of Pbx after the issue occurs and your pinballx.ini as a attachment. You should not exit a table by "q", but you need to setup an exit button. Sometimes it help by running pinballx as admin

As far I know, the media directories are under the pinballx directory itself and cannot be changed. 2 options : 1) Install pbx on another drive and move 2) Create symbolic link : https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/

Magnasave button is already jumping to next/previous letter

Sorry, no pc yet around, but a batch file like this should properly work for you: if exist "C:\PinballX)\Media\ Future Pinball\DMD Videos \%%1.mp4" ( cmd /c ""C: \Future Pinball\Future DMD.exe" table =""%%1""close = 1") else ( rem do when not exist)

@PcTeknic, I think this can be done very easy with a batch file. not at home now, but will check for you Btw. Will %1 be the same as [table name]?

There was something with table ST:TNG But can't remember exactly. Something with the name that is not supported ? Is the logfile you posted after the ossue occurred?

You mentioned that it is crashing after 1 table, but according to the log file, i see that Sorcereri s launching, you exit that table. Than you launch it again. After that nothing in the log. So question : what is crashing ? Visual Pinball or pinballx ? Do you see anything about the crash in the eventvwr that could be relevant ?

Try the following. It has the same functionality as gamemanager, but easier to use (and has some extra features):

Really nice build ! Do I see correctly that your PC is outside your cabinet ?
