No VPX Playfield and Backglass Videos for VPX after update

[vogliadicane]

I updated PinballX from version 3.29 (I think) to 4.14.

Now, Playfield and Backglass Videos don't show up for VPX. Wheel images and infos show up like before.

For Pinball FX everything is fine.  All here like before.

Sounds like LAV settings..

Check this post;

(post a pic of your settings if that doesn't fix it)

Thanks a lot.
Unfortunately that didn't help (also restarted the PC and double checked lav video settings.

In the log there is
16:45:18.23  10.04.2020:  Finding and matching artwork and videos
so paths and file names seem to be ok.

Strange is that FX2 videos all work. mp4 and f4v.

So I renamed one from the FX2 folder and replaced one of the VPX videos. This one shows up! So it is in the videos.

Btw ALL my VPX videos were recorded some weeks ago with PBX recorder (older version) and are mp4. Maybe I used some now outdated format for recording, which only worked with my old PBX version?

Have you tried removing one of the suspect files and recorded again?

LAV looks like an old version, update that from link on pinballx homepage

I go with @Draco1962. Did you try to record a new video and is that displaying fine ?

[vogliadicane]

Thanks all.

Updating the LAV filters as scutters proposed didn't help.

I also thought about trying to record new videos and see. Must say, I did such a big jump from some very old PBX version to this one, that I'm not really familiar with all new features. But I assume, video recording is NOT done via PBX recorder anymore. Instead one should use teh "Create videos" in the Game Manager, right?

I did. And there was a message, I need ffmpeg.exe.

@Draco1962 btw good to see you are still up here, man.

 

Edit: found the ffmpeg. exe somewhere else on my PC. Copied it into PBX folder. Recording now started, but only Backglass videos show up after. Cropped, but I have an idea, why (not relevant now).

I'll try to make new videos with Force exclusive fullscreen OFF in VPX, as I had to do with PBX recorder....

Edit2: Thal worked! Cool, so one problem solved. I just delete all Playfield videos and make a new record session with  Force exclusive fullscreen turned OFF in VPX.
Would be handy, if there was an option in settings to start VPX for video recording with Force exclusive fullscreen OFF in VPX (I changed the PBX recorder code and recompiled for this reason then).

I'll open another thread for the cropped BG videos.

Glad you got it working!

Fwiw, i still use pbx recorder (just because of habit). V1.6 or something like that, i should really move with the times and start recording via pinballx too..

Good to see you back, @vogliadicane!

Lots of good stuff going on here. @Mike_da_Spike, @scutters, and @joyrider3774 have enhanced the PinballX experience with some great scripts, plugins, and apps taking it to the next level!
