Finally upgraded my cabinet monitor to 1080p and now PBX Database Mgr. doesn't record backglass videos

Hi guys!  It's been awhile since I've been on here to whine about some new issue (I've been reading and experimenting - a LOT, lol).  I've had pretty good success in most of my goals, but I'm stuck on an issue with PBX Database Manager at the moment.  This issue is 100% connected to the fact that I upgraded to a new cabinet playfield, but ironically, it's the backglass monitor (that I've had from the start) that is now not recording when I install a new game and get vids of for PBX.  I'm not at my home office, so I can't provide any of the usual files, but will update with those as soon as I am able.  I feel fairly certain that you guys will know what is causing this without having to see those files, but I will upload them when I get back to home base either way.  As always, THANK YOU!

To be honest,  I dont have a clue 

If you have the opportunity,  try to create the videos's and post your pinballx.ini and log.txt and also your Databasemanager.ini and log file

What type of video creating do you use ? Bulk or a per table recording ?

Sorry for not uploading the files, but I got back pretty late last night and just hit the bed, face first, lol.  In Database Manager,I just do one table at a time (as I find new tables I like), and use the "Make Videos" option in the lower right hand corner.  It still gets video of the table but no longer captures video for the backglass.  Strange behavior considering it was the playfield monitor that I swapped out.  Files coming in 3...2...1....  OK, for some reason, I cannot seem to find databasemanager.ini OR log??

PinballX.ini log.txt

Dbm logs are in the sub folder logs of the dbm install directory, but think we don't need them, as pbx wont record the video.

Can you check pinballx settings.exe and check if your backglass monitor is configured on the correct display ?

As usual, Mike, YOU ARE A GENIUS!  I have absolutely NO IDEA why or how the settings for the backglass got changed in PBX, but they had it as screen #5!  Changed it back to #2 and BAM!  Works just like it should!  Thank you for always being here with answers.  I just can't tell you how much I appreciate it, man.
