[RESOLVED] Minor issue with latest version - video jukebox

[troy]

Have a weird issue with the latest version -

I tend to use my cab a lot for videos, where i can play all, randomly, etc. Kind of a "jukebox" if you will.

With the latest update, it gets to the end of the video and just freezes and will not automatically start the next. Just wondering if anybody else has run into it or not. Nothing else on the cab has changed.

Since it isn't a game related issue, not sure what other documentation I can give, but if you have any ideas, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi Troy - lets start with your gameex.ini and log.txt files. (Click here for additional information on how to find these files and others that may be required). Thanks!

For months now ive always went to the video section and let my shows and movies play continuously all day long. but after the recent update, after it i start play randomly like usual, after the very first video, it freezes at the very end of the video and stays there. fast fwd or rewind do not work. infact, the only button that works is back. that takes me back to the video selection menu. it does it everytime!! i have'nt changed any settings at all. please help someone.

I am sure Tom or someone will be able to take a look at this shortly. I moved this thread from the PinballX General forum so that it would get the visibility it deserves.

Déjà vu

Likely it is the same issue but waiting on Troy to provide the oft requested files to compare. Sure would be great if everyone would do so without having to almost always be asked. There are a few that you can count on to do so without asking. Sigh...

[cnells2000]

I did'nt know I had it in the wrong section. Thank you for moving the thread draco

[troy]

Sounds good, Ill check that out.. wasnt sure if it contained anything for just video playback or not. It's really strange, it just hangs on the last frame of video. Never did that before.

Will post the files here soon.

[cnells2000]

They r waiting on u to post Ur files so they can compare with mine because I'm having the same problem Troy

[uberpubert69]

I have the same thing going on. Never really use GameEx for videos so I never knew it was a problem.

[cnells2000]

You should post your log and ini as well

[Draco1962]

Please post the requested files. It is preferable that you have the files ready whenever reporting an issue so we don't have to ask or wait. Thank you.

[troy]

My apologies, I have been working on the cab so wasn't able to get to the files.

Will post tonight. I didn't post the files originally because I was hoping it was an added option for "pause between videos" that was added that just needed to be unchecked. I really do appreciate all the help you guys give.

At work currently but will post tonight. Thank you!

[uberpubert69]

You should post your log and ini as well

log.txtGameEx.ini

[cnells2000]

Now they will be able to compare and find out what's going on

[troy]

Again, my apologies, Draco.

I wonder if our resident plugin maker could maybe make some kind of automated batch program that allows a user to report a bug automatically. Have it grab the log and ini files, and post them in a special BUG forum (so as to not crowd out the basic self-help area of the forum) and possibly have user input to create the title/body to describe the problem and what they were doing that caused it. Might make things smoother. Just a thought.

[cnells2000]

All I did was update the front-end. I haven't been in my settings in weeks

[troy]

Again my apologies.

The symptoms are the same. Once it reaches the end frame, it freezes, and then it takes a good many "back buttons" to get to the previous screen.

Hope this helps, and thanks.

(Yes, I know it is windows XP, but I tried updating and my card wouldn't go to down to 288 resolution for my TV/arcade monitor, so I am forced to keep XP for a while)

Posted files in other thread, but posting here as well. Again my apologies for not doing it sooner/to begin with. I do appreciate the time and effort it takes to track these down.

I think what is telling is this exerpt:

[troy]

My taste in music or frame rate? Im a life-long XTC fan. ha. Wanted to play something short so I could get to the end of the video. Can try some more.

[Draco1962]

Try disabling vsync.

[troy]

Hm, I found don't wait for, which is set to T but dont see disable.
