MulletLife Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) Having this issue for years, finally doing something about it. I've tried altering the brightness from the PBX Display Settings options. I'm just looking to have the videos looks as they do when running from vlc/media player etc. What am I missing? Its like there is a white diffusion over the entire playfield. Thanks everyone Edited May 31, 2023 by Tom Speirs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Please attach copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files for review when reporting an issue. Also, can you advise if you ar using any video codecs? If not, try installing the recommended LAV filters here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MulletLife Posted May 30, 2023 Author Share Posted May 30, 2023 PinballX.inilog.txt To my knowledge, the video codecs I installed initially were the above mentioned LAV filters. I also just reinstalled them and reverted to default settings with no change to the washed out videos. Again, the videos play fine stand alone, its through PBX they get washed out. Brightness in ini is set at 160. This issue has persisted through various PCs and screens. I'm fairly confident its not a hardware issue. Any help is appreciated.

MulletLife Posted May 30, 2023 Author Share Posted May 30, 2023 I think the issue is actually my playfield monitor. Changing setting regarding contrast etc seems to fix the issue though its odd the videos look different in VLC vs in PBX. Good enough for now.

Tom Speirs Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I can't duplicate this on the display i am using right now but have seen that before. Display settings sometimes need to be changed directly on the display. Some software video renderer's such as those used by VLC seem to communicate with the display hadrware AND also GPU display drivers. Those used by PinballX do not. So it could be a driver setting too, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrd1972 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 So I have always noticed that the videos shown when browsing have a white hazy appearance too, and I have seen this on two different PF TVs. I will try to post a photo of the table in browsing mode and play mode. Its not a big deal for me, but it would be nice if it can be tuned out.

scutters Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 One thing that springs to mind is make sure in Nvidia settings that you have 'Full' dynamic range selected and not 'Limited' (under Display - Change Resolution in Nvidia Control Panel); and also under Video - Adjust Video Colour Settings; (don't know what AMD equivalent would be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
