[RESOLVED] No B2S Backglass in Pinball X for VP tables

[techturder]

Hi everyone - posting here because I have run out of leads after searching the existing posts.  Recently, in the last 2-3 updates to Pinball X, my Visual Pinball tables stopped displaying the B2S backglass in Pinball X.  Instead of the backglass image, my 2nd screen is just black.  I can see the PinballX Back Glass.exe is running, however.  What's strange is that if I launch the tables from Pinball X, the backglass loads fine in VPX.  Stranger yet, backglass displays for other systems (ex: Pinball FX2).  I have tried a multitude of trial and error steps including:

1. Reinstalling Pinball X & uninstalling / fresh install to a new folder
2. Uninstalling / Reinstalling Visual Pinball X and VPinMAME
3. Removing Media / Re-adding Media
4. Removing B2S Server / re-installing / re-registering
5. Making sure I'm running Pinball X as Administrator
6. Toggling "Auto Position DirectB2S" and "Use DirectB2S in Front End" in Settings

I'm stuck - any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  My latest LOG file, INI and XML for Visual Pinball are attached.  FYI, I am running a 3 screen cabinet setup with the "3rd screen" being a PinDMD3.  Not sure if it matters, but my DirectB2S backglass files are in the same folder as my VPX tables as well as identical copies in the PinballX\Media\Visual Pinball\Backglass folders (with copies in both Backglass Images and Backglass Videos folders) - same names as their corresponding Table files.

Thanks for your help -

Don't run pinballx as admin

Huh ?  I thought it didn't load from pinballx ?

Those properly won't use directb2s,

Did you recently upgrade to visual pinball 10.8 ? Or 64 bit or upgrade directb2s ?

Did you set the option in b2sserver to run in front ? Or is it set run in back ?

I think a setting in b2s in not correct.

To test , turn off the autoposition b2s and make changes to your b2s outside of pinballx

Hi this may be because of updates to pinmame a year or so ago. You may need to update pinmame. Have you tried that?

I will try to duplicate on my cab too shortly.

Thanks for your help guys.  I re-checked everything, then based on Mike's comments, I went over to VP Universe and downloaded their latest standalone version of the B2S Server, 2.03 - after I installed that everytging started working again!  Thank you!  And Tom, yes I had installed the latest VPX 10.7.2 and PinMAME 3.5
