    Recording problems

    Thank you, but I still do not know what the role of PiballX is here? What does duplicating keyboard shortcuts and recording folder give me when these settings work globally in GeForce Experience and I don't need to set them in PinballX to work? Besides, unfortunately only Playfield is recorded (although I must admit that it does it very quickly and smoothly, FFMPEG does it for a very long time and the videos are very choppy).

    Recording problems

    This may be the cause?: Display numbering in PinballX is reversed. In Windows system my playfield is 1, backglass is 2. In PinballX I had to set it the other way round to make it work properly. As You can see on the attached screen, offset for backglass is set like in screenres.txt for bs2 server, but it make sense when backglass is as second display (like in windows system), so why did I have to set it as "display 1" instead of 2? I would like to point out that everything is working properly with this setting. log.txt PinballX.ini
  3. Hi First of all - thank you for this great front-end I have a lot of problems with recording, so I will list all my questions: 1. I am trying to record using the keyboard shortcuts assigned to recording. Sometimes I hear a voice announcing that recording starts, sometimes nothing happens even though I click several times. I don't know if I should wait patiently or interrupt (there would be a useful icon besides the sound, which informs you that the recording is in progress). 2. I don't understand what is the "Use GPU driver capture" option? Unfortunately, I can't find anywhere the exact documentation that would clearly describe it all (does it exist?). Geforce Experience has its own keyboard shortcuts that work globally, so why set them additionally in PinballX? The same applies to the recording folder. Whatever I set here, the recordings go to the folder that is set in Geforce Experience. Besides, with this option only Playfield is recorded (without backglass). 3. Recording (if I manage to start) is extremely slow. Two monitors (1600x1200 backglass + 2560x1440 Playfield) = 22 minutes. 10:16:30.2 19.03.2019: Recording videos 10:16:38.3 19.03.2019: FFMPEG.exe -f gdigrab -framerate 20 -offset_x 0 -offset_y 0 -video_size 2560x1440 -t 00:00:30 -i desktop -c:v libx264 -crf 0 -preset ultrafast "c:\users\user\appdata\local\temp\tmp5680.mp4" 10:18:03.2 19.03.2019: FFMPEG.exe -i "c:\users\user\appdata\local\temp\tmp5680.mp4" -vf "vflip,hflip" -c:v libx264 -an -crf 20 -preset slower -pix_fmt yuv420p -f mp4 "D:\PinballX\MEDIA\Visual Pinball\Table Videos\Back to the Future (Data East 1990).mp4" 10:31:58.3 19.03.2019: Capture Playfield video success 10:31:58.7 19.03.2019: FFMPEG.exe -f gdigrab -framerate 30 -offset_x 2560 -offset_y 0 -video_size 1600x1200 -t 00:00:30 -i desktop -c:v libx264 -crf 0 -preset ultrafast "c:\users\user\appdata\local\temp\tmp6216.mp4" 10:32:40.5 19.03.2019: FFMPEG.exe -i "c:\users\user\appdata\local\temp\tmp6216.mp4" -c:v libx264 -an -crf 20 -preset slower -pix_fmt yuv420p -f mp4 "D:\PinballX\MEDIA\Visual Pinball\Backglass Videos\Back to the Future (Data East 1990).mp4" 10:38:04.3 19.03.2019: Capture Backglass video success Is it possible to optimize it in any way? Geforce Experience even though it records only one monitor, it does it very quickly. 4. Why can't I set the recording time shorter than 30 seconds? In my opinion a short animation of 5-10 seconds would be enough, and so nobody is watching these movies for more than 10 seconds (after that time the game is usually started). Shorter films would significantly reduce the waiting time for recording.
