PinballX cannot play some F4V videos

[affie42]

Hi,

i have had this problem with older versions of PinballX and even the latest version 3.04 which runs finely otherwise.

I have a small set of background glass videos in F4V format (and one playfield video in MP4 format) which cannot be played by the PinballX player. The videos can be played without any issues by VLC or MPC-HC video players but not as part of PinballX.

For these games, the backglass (or playfield) screen remains either dark or is covered with the background image of the previous game selection.  (I havent figured out the patter for this yet...)

For all of these videos i have a corresponding still image which is displayed in case i remove the videos - so there is a work around for the time being - but of course i would like to enjoy these videos just like all the others i have installed, so i would be nice if you could fix it or give me a hint on what i could do with the videos.

I have uploaded the videos to the following link: https://www.magentacloud.de/share/6-48.nrr4s  (Password is "pinballx")

Any idea as to where this is coming from?

Any help is appreciated - thanks a lot!

Have you installed LAV codecs?

[affie42]

Not yet - but now!

And now everything works like a charm!

Thanks a lot for your help!!!

PS  Did i miss this somewhere in the readme/installation instructions?! sorry for that...

Probably not in the instructions, but would be cool if there were an option or link and note in the installer that would take you to the LAV codecs download once installation of PinballX is complete.
