[RESOLVED] No videos in 2.04

[Rappelbox]

Hi guys,

I installed pbx on my virgin cab, vlc vp, vpx etc etc everything is working fine... Except the f***ing videos. I tried almost everything, from deleting, reinstalling pbx, installing the new codec pack... Nothing seems to work. Pictures are displayed fine, sound and b2s also. Also, I'm able to play the f4v in vlc, so i don't think the files are corrupt. Copying from my laptop didn't also seem to fix the problem

As said before, it's a virgin ssd, before I had a normal hdd, and on that system everything worked fine. I think that means it shouldn't be a hardware problem...

Do I need something else like flash or whatever? Maybe trying with an older version or installing shark-codecs, something that would help...

Help would be very very much appreciated!

Thank you very much!

Greets,

Dom

First, you need to upgrade to 2.06 which is the latest. Also, download and install the LAV filters that are linked on the PinballX download page. As of v2.04 Shark007 is no longer needed.

Next, after upgrading and installing the LAV filters, provide copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files. Click on the How to ask for help link in my signature for instructions on how to submit these in reply to this thread. Thanks.

Sorry, version numbering was wrong, it's already 2.06 and lav codec is also installed.

It seems like pbx is trying to load the videos for some milliseconds and then refusing, there's a very short "flickering" after switching from one table to another

Are you running Raptr Evolved with your Radeon Catalyst? If so, you may want to uninstall that.

[tthurman]

Make sure you are running full screen windowed. Also in the display settings, make sure you have your correct X/Y setting for your display(s).

[Rappelbox]

Thank you for your help so far!

I found a solution... Very strange to me, but in the end it works.

If I start pbx as a normal user, no videos are displayed.

If I start pbx with "right click" start as admin also no videos are displayed.

If I go to "right click" settings, compatibility, and then choose to start as admin, everything is fine.

Is there a way to avoid that behavior?

Greets,

Dom

[Draco1962]

You have to set GameEx to run as Administrator via Compatibility (this applies for Vista and above).

This gives GameEx the ability to write to log files, cache videos, images, etc. That is your solution!

Good job, Dom!

[stefanaustria]

Also have an Issue now, Backglass Video run, PF Video no, just as Rappelbox said:
"... seems like pbx is trying to load the videos for some milliseconds ...", but only at PF,
latest NVidia, latest PBX ... searching for/atm. didnt found any (also NVidia) VideoSettings ...

All Vids run fine, since we dont Need Sharky ... until now.

[Rappelbox]

Run as admin and compatibility mode set to Vista

[stefanaustria]

Just curious, VISTA was it, thanks Man !! ( Win 7 64Bit Main )
