Watacaractr Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 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. watacaractr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watacaractr Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 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. watacaractr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 You can use the Search option in the Setup Wizard to find most options in PinballX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joyrider3774 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I believe dmd positiong is still working as it should. I cant see any issues and none have been reported. Could you provide more info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
