[RESOLVED] Start Up Video Problem...

Hello everyone. I apologize, I posted this in the wrong area just now. I just updated to the latest PinballX version and have a question about the start up video. Ever since I started using earlier versions of PinballX years ago, I have NEVER been able to get the start up video to work. Even with the new update, nothing, black screen straight to PBX attract mode. I've had a really cool start up video that I created years ago and I would love to finally get it to work. I also have a BG and DMD video that tie into this. Can anyone help or at least make a suggestion on what I could do to fix this? Is my playfield video just too large? Is there a special setting somewhere? I've put other videos in the start up video folder and nothing from those either. I really hope someone can help. Thank you in advance.

You probably need codecs.

What format is the video?

You need to name backkglass: _backglass.mp4 and dmd: _dmd.mp4

There is also a setting to enable startup videos.

Thanks Tom. Yeah, I haven't updated the codecs. The video has always been mp4. Where is the setting to enable start up videos? Also, one other thing, if you could help..  I use the generic PinballX DMD video for all of my non-DMD games. I have a smaller 14" 16:9 lcd "DMD" screen that i use for this. I had it adjusted before the update to just fit the top half of the screen, but now it's stretched to fit the whole screen. Did I miss something here? Thanks again.

You can use the Search option in the Setup Wizard to find most options in PinballX.

can you check your lav codecs to see if they are setup like this (ignore the red circle, just make sure all output formats are set like in the screenshot , the checkboxes)


sharing the video for us to test might help as well
