Time for a dedicated thread for PBX Recorder PBX Recorder will walk through all the VP tables found set up in Pinballx, launch each table and record/capture all videos and/or images automatically. This is intended for VP cab setups but will add Desktop support at some point (Note: Desktop users - there is now a beta version for single monitor desktop users below). By default, PBX Recorder is setup to find and record missing media. There are options to re-record all media if desired. What to record and length of videos are all configurable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3BmZHSDWpc&feature=youtu.be NOTE: PBX Recorder uses the DirectB2S screenres.txt to figure out how to record the Playfield, Backglass and DMD. (If the DMD portion of screenres.txt is not filled in correctly, you will have trouble with DMD video or screenshot capture. Try the included ScreenResCheck utility, to see exactly what PBX Recorder will record) NOTE: PBX Recorder videos requires that you to install the LAV filters recommended for PinballX here: http://www.pinballx.com/codecs.exe To view the videos outside of PinballX, try a media player like this: https://mpc-hc.org/ Version history: Version 1.4 beta: - Drag and drop of new VPT/VPX files onto PBX Recorder to add a new table to the PinballX xml file - Ability to PAUSE recorder to setup table, i.e enable B2S, tweak script and RESUME.

Version 1.2 - Basic support for automatic Wheel image download via FTP if you have Pinballx FTP access. To enable FTP support, open the FTPLoginInfo.txt file and put in your user info.
