[RESOLVED] Animated Backglass FX3 Now Showing In-Game

[Fiery Phoenix]

Hi, 

Just getting my system setup.  Only problem (so far) is animated backglasses now showing in-game of FX3

They show ok in the menu of PinballX, but when the game loads, just the black screen apart from the dot matrix.

Cabinet mode on and backglass re-position turned off - I have the files for the .mp4 backglasses in my PinballX/Media/Pinball FX3/Backglass Videos folder (not in the steam one - although the static ones work when placed in there)

VP Universe where files held holds instructions for PinUpPopper not PinballX (link below) saying about keeping backglass screen (2) on, but no such setting in PinballX

VP FX3 Link for Backglasses

My Pinball FX3 settings do not have anything in Launch Before or After sections - do I need to?

Going round the loop reading lots of threads, do you need DOFLinx to ensure these work in-game?  Some mention it, others don't.  There is a YouTube showing this with "No Toys" setting for getting these working - unsure if that is the case given above does not state that.

Maybe I am missing something simple - attached my log if it is useful?

Many thanks'

Please attach your pinballx.ini as well. 

Did you go through the setup guide that is part of the PinballX installation download?

As @Draco1962said, did you check the documentation ?

During launch of the fx3 table, you hide the backglass video.

This should be undone if you want to show the bg video during game.

Thanks Draco & Mike - will get the .ini attached

Yes, did the setup (as I re-installed) verified paths and everything seems to be working with Future, VPX, FX 2 & FX3 bar these backglasses (from what I have noticed so far) tables launch in FX3 from frontend fine and can exit from there too

To keep showing media on a screen after a table is launched you need to set that (per table) in either Game Manager or PinballX Database Manager (whichever one you're using).

In Game Manager select the game, and uncheck 'Hide Backglass', if using Database Manager select the game and uncheck 'Hide backglass during game' to keep showing backglass media after table launch.
