its worth noting that if i remove the image and the dmd video the default noDMD pinball x dmd plays. ive also noted if i put a static image in it doesn't show but when you hit enter to play the game the static image ive imported shows but no until visual pinball table starts to load.

@Draco1962 im using W10 and have VLC player and have all the LAV codec installed but certain files just refuse to play, ive also tried with a static image and refuses to show , seems to be certain table, am doing summit wrong some where, i use game manger select DMD naviage to the image/DMD video import it and exit. can you try these on your system c if they work for you.? 007 Goldeneye (Sega 1996).mp4

does the DMD/ PF and BG videos we use have to be in a specific size? or file type, as i have downloaded several MP4, F4v and video-clip files and lots dont seem to work. i have the latest codecs installed etc.. so just wondered if if the format or pixel size that stop the files from showing. I can put a static image and that will work. I've tried removing the static image in case of conflict to see if the video shows but even that doesn't work. But if i have a static image and a video image i get nothing, if i remove the video image i get the static image. enclosed is an example that im trying with no luck Airborne_(Capcom_1996).f4v Airborne (Capcom 1996).mp4

n e body else have this in there setup or just me?You see i have 2 default filters options, but 1 says add images?

replaced my fx3 files with yours and they appear in the PBX menu and the game manager list.

A utility that would read the system's XML, look for the media paths in the pinballx.ini and audit the artwork and display a thumbnail of the snap/video/audio file along with the format or display a default no video/no audio graphic for the absence thereof.

Hi All, I use the Game Manager to manage all my art that i use in my PINcab, which is great but does any body know if there is a program or a way to show what images are actually being used? what i mean by this is i have over 800 tables and the only way i know if my art is correct is to go in PBX and run it and then scroll threw each table making a note if the playfield, backglass and DMD is correct for the table... does any body know of a program that allows you to view on one screen the PF, BG and DMD for each table that if i then find one incorrect i could use a second screen to search the net for the correct art ?, or do i have to go threw each table making a note then importing and then re running PBX?. As always thanks in advance for any help or advise.

Try installing on older version of PBX .. are you running in compatability mode or with Administration privileges?. Also log the error and then google what it says... might tho up some info.

@scutters Thank you so much that sorted it

i have over 800 tables spread over 4 lists so its not a table limit error. SM

@MItshiba i use a 3 screen set up but the art is great so i`ll be taking the grill away and using them. Lovely work and love the ways you have incorporated a Steel Ball in each screen. Big THANKS

Guys, not really a PBX issue but knowing your expertise i thought id shout it hear first. ok so im running PBX with 3 screens and on some older visual pinball table recreations there is no DMD so my poor 3rd screen just sits there all in the dark :-( is there a way to show summit on there if the table doesn't have a DMD? for instance a logo or game banner etc... in PBX menu i have a Table LOGO showing on the 3rd screen. Is this possible or do i need to mess about with Visual Prefs? as im a bit lost when it comes to messing with configs/prefs and end up causing more problems lol. Thanks, SM.

Thanks all for the assistance.. to be honest ive found it easier to just use the steam version and pay as it so cheap and it does help the creator and im all for that :-).

Im having on odd error with PBX and wondered if anybody has had this error ( if it is ) Sometime PBX freezes ( at the moment it does it when trying to run Malzbies Pinball collection ) In order to escape out i have to do the SHIFT ALT DEL option and kill it in task manager, when i then return to the desktop i have lost my task bar, if i go into windows it says its enabled but i have to untick and re tick it to get it back... does any body else have this, im using Windows 10 64bit, with the 32 bit PBX as the 64 bit gave me no end of problems. Quote Edit

Im shocked you'd even think i would use pirated stuff, our local shop was selling it, it was in an official case so i assumed it was legit. The read me says version.V1.2.1.5 So it could be that its an older version like you mentioned as it was only £2.99, if thats the case i will have to use steam then.

HI thanks for the reply, i had done all you described above with XML databade and adding to group, i also added all the Tables in game Manager for the media etc so wheel, BG and TAble PF all work in PBX... i can select the table but PBX just hangs after it says Loading Table, the screen goes blank and i have to ALT CTRL DEL to break in. Ive done as Draco1962 said with the parameters but still no go. I dont use STEAM hense using the EXE.

i did see this but thought it was only for the irotate program better I read a bit closer, i only wanted to just get PBX to launch the main program and then i select the table via the game.

Having problem implementing in PBX where am i going wrong? ANd where do i put the XML file? Quote Edit

Lovely work , thanks for sharing and including the XML file and ill grab the artwork you have done, Many thanks. Will be installing this in my PINCAB latter :-)

odd, in my daphne set up a have a dapinput config file that has my keys configuration stored, do you not have this file?

@Draco1962 Very Nice Mike , look forward to seeing more :-). Ian
