problem creating videos with Game Manager / PinballX Database Manager

[tute_primus]

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

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

So that looks good. Also pbx quits fine.

So not sure what you still see. Is maybe visual pinball still open ? 

Try running pinballx as admin

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?

Yeah, A Readon card is in the machine and the first try is with the NVIDIA codec (h264_nvenc). Think that fails and it retries with the normal codec

Gotcha. Didn't realise it tried nvidia method first and logged both attempts when on a radeon. Ignore my previous comment!

@Mike_da_Spike / @scutters I run PinballX as administrator and I also tried running "game manager" as administrator as well and the same thing always happens to me.
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
