Rotating playfield videos using VLC?

[Draco1962]

Just download amd install over the top of your current installation.

I generally recommend a periodic backup of your \PinballX\ folder, but over the top installation is generally painless.

Mike I uploaded the ini already.  And guys please enjoy the holiday and weekend.  I will be out of town until Sunday and won't be able to troubleshoot with you any further until then.  Thanks

Sorry. Didn't noticed that.

I see in the ini that monitor 0 and 1 (playfield and backglass) both starting at x=0 and y=0.

Maybe thats causes what @scutterssaw in the log file that both where captured as pkayfield.

As I sayd before, I prefer the Captures from gforce experience, because of the higher fps for high resolutions

And take the advice of @Draco1962. Make backups of jour cab. Including registry (pinmame). That saves you a lot of time if something is happening 

[erikfed]

So when I upgrade I won't have to go through the setting app and set everything up again or I will?  Will Game Manager still have all  my tables added and artwork enabled?

All settings and media will be retained when you update. Just install over the top, stick with the default options in the install (install 32bit not 64)

[erikfed]

Great. thank.

[erikfed]

Thanks guys, I've upgraded to 3.47 and my recordings are now working properly.  One question though...Is there a way to adjust the amount of time the recorder waits to start recording?  My Zaccaria tables aren't fully loaded when the recording starts.

I don't use it game manager for media recording so don't know of a way, does it allow in game recording instead?. If nobody else chips in it might be a feature request

You can also launch the table manually (via pbx) and hit the "V" key on the keyboard to start video recording.

When it is finished, it will go back to pbx and you can launch the next video

Edited July 10, 2019 by Mike_da_Spike
Changed vpx to pbx

[erikfed]

Thanks Mike but I'd use this feature with FX3 and Zaccaria.

Working in all pinball emulators. You only need to start it from PBX

[erikfed]

Ok, I'll give it a try, thanks.

I tried recording a table using the "V" key but nothing happened.  Is there a setting I need to adjust first to enable this?

[Mike_da_Spike]

I thought it was default, but cjeck your settings.exe

Do you have ffmpeg.exe in your pinballx directory? Thats needed too

Check the log after you pressed "v"

 

[erikfed]

I'll check settings.  I do have ffmpeg and am able to create videos using game manager "Create Video" button.

[erikfed]

Checked the settings.  In the keyboard settings, video capture is indeed set to "V".  However nothing happens when I press it in game.  I checked the log and there's nothing related to recording being requested or starting.

[Mike_da_Spike]

Odd. You sure there isn't a video yet?

Can you put your log and ini file after you select a table and pressed "v" ?

[Draco1962]

Maybe attach new copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files immediately after?

[erikfed]

Ok, so after more testing I've determined that the recorder is working...sort of.  First off it won't work if there is already a video in place for that table, it doesn't automatically overwrite.  Didn't know that.  Secondly, in FP it records a video of a static frame for 45 seconds.  Nothing moves, no motion, no lights blinking.  Thirdly, in Zaccaria it only records the loading table screen, no matter how long I wait to press "V" after the table is loaded and I'm playing it.  Thirdly and a half, the Zaccaria loading screen is animated with blinking lights, but just like the FP recordings it only records a still frame of video.  I didn't have time to test VP and FX3 yet.  I'll test when I get a chance and update as well as post log and ini.  

[Mike_da_Spike]

Can you post your log.txt, settings.txt and pinballx.ini after you tried to record anything ?

[erikfed]

Where do I find "settings.txt"?  And is it called exactly "settings.txt"?

Thanks fore the help.

Attached files woul read better 

Don't see anything strange. Ffmpeg is doing the work. I dont use Future pinball so don't have experience with it.

I see you got a decent system and a nvidia card. Did you ever try to capture through nvidia ? I know this has bugs too (especially with 4k and multiscreen where is in portrait mode)

Setup can be found here.

 

This will capture the playfield by your nvidia gforce driver and pbx will rotate it with ffmpeg

I may try to fiddle with that at some point.  Thanks for looking.

Just going to throw an alternative method with a GUI out here - handbrake can flip or rotate also....
