Most Tutorial and Gameplay videos will not play since 1.78 !

[Woodsy15]

Hello, I have built 6 brand new PC's and done the following:

Installed Win7 Pro 64 bit

Installed .net 4.0

Installed Directx

Installed Pinballx

Installed SHark Codec from Pinballx site

Installed Visual Pinball , tables etc,...

With Pinballx 1.78 the videos played fine

all future versions the screen blinks and they do not play

They play fine in Windows outside of Pinballx with WMP

If I drop the 1.78 Pinballx exe into the folder and run it, they play fine

Run the 1.92 exe and they do not play

I have tried K-Lite codecs, Media Player codecs, no help

Very strange and obviously not related to one computers specific issues

This happens on all six new PC's that have been built for cabinets

Love the program, would love to get this figured out

Your help is much appreciated

Tom :-)

Just guessing here ... but wonder about 2 things..

1) This pathing seems curious. Can you simplify your pinballx install to just the one system? and remove the Mame thing here..

WorkingPath=C:\- EMULATORS -\- MAME -

Perhaps it cant handle filenames this long??

Thanks, I did not add the Mame line it is there by default and Mame is disabled in the settings. Cannot believe I am the only one having this issue as it has been consistently happening on every fresh install of windows 7 I do. Run the 1.78 exe and the videos play. That sounds to me like a fundamental change in the program itself causing this. Hoping Tom or another knowledable admin can chime in. Signed up and paid the fees just to post this issue.

PS also if you download the current Media folder from the FTP site it will make pinballx crash on launch. Something corrupted in the media. Use the 50GB media folder from two months ago everything is fine...
