[Resolved] DMD Video Always Playing

[MrGrynch]

 

My system was working just fine until I started mucking around with DMD videos.   @scutters pointed out that I could play DMD videos during gameplay.  So, I tried it.  I disabled the "Hide DMD" for Attack From Mars and supplied a DMD video.  When I loaded the table, the video kept playing.  It worked like a charm.  Then, I turned "Hide DMD" back on.  I re-launched the table and noticed that the DMD video disappeared initially while loading the table, but once the table was loaded, the DMD video started playing again.  I then tried a completely different table, Wheel of Fortune, which I had never touched.  Sure enough, the DMD video initially disappeared, but then came back.  I checked the database file, and it clearly shows the "Hide DMD" enabled.  Rebooting the computer seems to have cleared the problem.  This appears to be a bug with PBX.  Not sure if its worth looking into or not, but thought I would mention it.

My guess if you have 'auto show dmd media' (pinballx settings, under Display Settings section) set to Yes

If that's the case then for some reason before you rebooted PinballX wasn't picking up that pinmame was active (and hence also displaying a DMD)  after table launches and displayed your dmd media automatically so the screen wasn't blank.  Not sure that setting picks up pup packs anyway so i'd just set it No and rely on manually setting your tables to show or hide dmd media where you want.
