tute_primus Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hi everyone, I am new here and I wanted you to help me with a problem I have. When I want to create videos using "Game Manager" or "PinballX Database Manager" it starts OK, it launches PinballX, then it launches the table in VPX and the recording starts, but the recording never stops, if I press "Q" it leaves the table but not continue with the following tables. I was going through the options and found nothing. I already appreciate if you can help me since I don't want to use an external program to record. thank you very much and greetings from Argentina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_da_Spike Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Please provide your log.txt file of Pbx after the issue occurs and your pinballx.ini as a attachment. You should not exit a table by "q", but you need to setup an exit button. Sometimes it help by running pinballx as admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also pbx quits fine. So not sure what you still see. Is maybe visual pinball still open ? Try running pinballx as admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scutters Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I might be wrong, but doesn't that log show recording the same screen twice with slightly different parameters? If so i'd say there is an issue, maybe just recording desktop setups via pbx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that fails and it retries with the normal codec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recording starts, but cannot exit recording, if I press "Q" it exits and the video is generated. It seems that the error is the "timer" set to end the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
