PBX Video Recording Issues - Recording, but Never Enabled? - RESOLVED

[jimmay3]

Is there a setting to disable automatic pf video recordings, I have menu setup with pics for each table in horz mode, but after a min of playing a table, the table exits and goes back to pbx and my pf pic was replaced with a video of game just played, an not find any automatic option to disable? 

I delete the video to get my static pf pic back, but next time I play table, pbx repeats?

Sorry, not home to load my configuration files...

What you're describing shouldn't happen, so i'm afraid we're really going to need your pinballx.ini and log.txt files..  make sure the log is after an occurrence of the pf video recording taking place and the table exiting.

Will fo tonight, thanks.

Think I'll reload pbx first...

D8d you check the pf record or uncheck it ?

[jimmay3]

That's the problem, I'm not seeing an option for that in pbx setup...

I think you have a key assignment to record your media, that you use during playing.

Check your setting.exe for keyboard and joystick mappings

I thought there was a key that you could map to record media

[jimmay3]

In the key settings I set all the record, rotate and non basic stuff to blank.  Also, joystick page all blank.

Can you post your pinballx.ini and your log.txt after you launch a table and your pf is being record during play?

Did find the V key was possibly activating video record, but other issues prior to even getting to the table...

So blanked it out in the key list for video and screen shots, see attached, but as soon as I open pbx and close it, pbx is changing the blank key assignments back to V and S???

So I reassign video and ss to some off keys - F8/F9 and the settings holds, but videos is still recording, seems to start once the ROM is found (see log)

log.txt PinballX.ini

Think I'm good, looks like if you leave any keys blank, pbx will reassign on startup, so assign a dead key to stop it.

Was there a recent key and title change in the video recording and screen shots hot keys, looks like thats what thru me off?

Change PF SS and BG SS to Grab SS and Grab Videos...

Looks like:

WAS	NOW	REMAP
R	R	F7
S	S	F8
B	V	F9

My fix is just to remmap them to some function keys not used...

Possibly, i'm a button user so wouldn't have noticed a change to key input (but i'd have guessed it would have been as far back as when video recording ability was added to pinballx).

I guess you also had 'V' mapped as a key input elsewhere to cause the problem in game?

[jimmay3]

I did have "V" key mapped because I never knew it was a reserved pbx key, as you can see the pbx setup wizard 3.2.0 was worded playfield and backglass, now labled "grabs" and thus a default key change was made to V vs B, both setups have pbx setup wizard 3.2.0, must have happened somewhere between pbx 5.22 and 5.41...

I just have a heavy input table used for a hybrid game setup, so nearly every key is used up on the playfield, thought I planned ahead, but when I updated pbx the key and label changed and cause this conflict.  Lucky the log file is very helpful...
