Calbarn04 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I have the play field and DMD videos showing up on the right screens but the back glass won't. I've gone through and assigned the back glass to every display option but none work. Please help me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Can you help the team by attaching copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files? You might want to give more details such as whether or not you are referring to the backglass videos outside of the game or while in a game. If in a game, what simulator or emulator.

rablack97 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 are you naming the tables and b2s files the same, in some instances the tables and b2s have to be the same name as the rom. do you mean BG is not showing up during table selection or gameplay, does the backglass show up outside of PBX?

rablack97 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 so you have a 3 screen setup? does everything show up correctly after you launch a table? what does your graphics display setup look like, and what numbers show up when you click on identify? xml's are found in the database folder.

Calbarn04 Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 yes I have a 3 screen setup. everything shows up correctly when I launch a table. when I identify it shows up as playfield=1 backglass=2 and dmd=3. what do you mean by graphics display setup. In the databases folder there are 7 folders that have an xml in each do you want all of them or just the ones for the emulators I use for example future pinball and visual pinball.

rablack97 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 attach the one for visual pinball will suffice. unless you didnt change this back after testing. you have the dmd and backglass set to monitor 1 [BackGlass] monitor=1 x=0 y=- width=1920 height=720 AutoPositionB2S=True UseB2S=False [DMD] Enabled=True monitor=1 x=500 y=1150 width=900 height=300 AutoPositionPinMAME=True [FileSystem] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rablack97 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 your video config may be hosed, try unplugging the dmd monitor and see if the the backglass diverts to the 2nd screen. Another method is to unplug all, then plug in your playfield, the boot. Then shutdown, plug in your backglass then reboot, then finally do the same with the dmd. lastly try this. https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/736116-windows-display-properties-identify-numbers-are 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calbarn04 Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 When I unplug the DMD monitor the back glass goes to the correct screen when I plug it back in everything is on the correct monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbamame Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 [BACKGLASS] monitor=1 <<< you have them set to the same number In pinballX settings x=0 y=- width=1920 height=720 AutoPositionB2S=True UseB2S=False [DMD] Enabled=True monitor=1 <<< you have them set to the same number In pinballX settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calbarn04 Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 I know backglass and dmd are set to the same monitor because no matter what I change the backglass to it doesn't show up on the screen I want it to unless I unplug the dmd monitor than plug it back in.

Calbarn04 Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 rblack97 I think your idea of the video config being hosed (have no idea what that means) could be correct as thebackglass moves to the correct screen when I unplug the dmd monitor. when I plug it back in everything is correct.

rablack97 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 so in the midst of all of this lovely configuration the PC gets confused on what needs to go where, so in the registry it just keeps adding new configs and not getting rid of the old ones. so you'res is overlapping somewhere. the link i pointed you to has a regedit file that will clean that up, then you can start fresh, by plugging each screen in and letting the PC reconfigure the identities. 47 minutes ago, Calbarn04 said: rblack97 I think your idea of the video config being hosed (have no idea what that means) could be correct as thebackglass moves to the correct screen when I unplug the dmd monitor. when I plug it back in everything is correct. Im assuming since you're saying the above your good to go now? Is everything showing on the right screen now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
