Again, I know this is the wrong thread for this, but while you asked... It looks like it only creates videos for new tables. I like to use images (smaller, faster, don't need blinky lights). So adding a "take image" option for backglass and playfield is about all I see so far that could make this any better. Nice work guys.

Upgrading B2S server worked! You da man... Glad I didn't have to rant about how far superior Windows 8.1 is... Thanks for your help! Also, I just tried out your DB Manager and wow, I have been missing out. First thing I noticed was it loaded my XML in seconds (400+tables)! If that was all it did I would be happy. Then it showed me I had obsolete tables in there (which I knew, but didn't want to manually find them all) and deleted those. You can add alternate emulator right there... filter tables by disabled, etc. Man, this is great... Quick question though, it says you can use mega for table media? How do I do this? Are there some mega links I can put in there? I know this is off-topic... Anyway, thanks again!

I did check the dmddevice.ini and I do have that set to stayontop = true. I also tried turning it off, but it didn't affect it. I like your idea with the -DisableTrueFullscreen. I didn't know that was an option. It will likely kill my performance though, but it won't hurt to try. Thanks for the tips.

Quick update. I found that if I launch the table through PBX, then wait for the "Loading" screen to disappear, Alt-Tab to bring the playfield into focus, then hit "q,q" to quit the table (but not exit back to VPX, my exit emulator key is "e"), then launch the table (play button) again from within VPX, then everything works (playfield in focus and DMD on top of backglass). So there may be a way around this. This is also the same behavior if I launch the table manually from within VPX and not PBX. Also just realized I forgot to attache my settings, so here you go. Thanks

Thanks for your response. I've attached the files you requested. Since yesterday, I did more research and it looks like this is a known issue with FlexDMD and running VPX in exclusive fullscreen mode that it will lose focus. I thought about using a script to Alt-Tab after launch, but if I Alt-Tab to bring the VPX playfield back into focus, then the DMD will go behind the backglass (even if the backglass is set NOT go move to front). Unless PinballX can come up with some magic, I think I may be stuck. This is likely a FlexDMD issue that can't be resolved through PinballX. log.txt PinballX.ini

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has this issue with any VPX table running FlexDMD (any UltraDMD table, but using the newer FlexDMD dll). I have a 2 screen setup and the backglass and DMD come up fine, but the LOADING screen stays on the playfield and I have to ALT-TAB to get it into focus. I installed the latest PBX version, but have tested older versions and have the same problem. I am running in exclusive fullscreen both in PBX and VPX. OS is Windows 8.1. I have VPX running and "Other System" so I don't have the option to check the "Full Screen Exclusive Hack" which is only available under the single "Visual Pinball" system. I'm not sure if that would fix it anyway. Any help or even verifying that the issue isn't just me would be appreciated.
