Draco1962 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Try pasting your text after translation Paste as Plain Text (right-click, select Paste as Plain Text) to avoid the odd text boxes. Also, when reporting an issue, please attach fresh copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files in your new posts to speed review. Thanks!

Mike_da_Spike Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I'm not using pbx recorder, but did you see this post from @Carny_Priest? Its another way to record all your videos. I still need to check it and will be my way to capture all my videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scutters Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Are you using the GL or the DX version of VPX 10.8? (i think pbxrecorder should still work with the DirectX version, but might need an update to work with the Open GL version to capture the playfield screen correctly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangeleo72 Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 exactly Im use GL version!!! have you some solution??? or Should I put the DX to record the videos and put the GL back to play later??? It would be nice if they updated that... If you have any solution tell me!! thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_da_Spike Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Wasn't the capturing via OBS studio needed for GL capturing ? Are you using GL for VR or also for playing 'flat' ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_da_Spike Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 @strangeleo72 I saw your review for DBM. Thanks for that, but dont thi k that resolve your issue with recording videos as DBM uses the API of PinballX. please try OBS as Carney descriped in my one of my prenious post s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strangeleo72 Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 It's a real shame since I have to record about 400 videos of tables that I have made POV and that the PBXRecorder makes automatically... It leaves the BG recorded well but it leaves the video of the playfield static in the first frame... Something about some CODEC is not taking well in the recording for sure...

Draco1962 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Can you provide the exact prompt you are receiving about a codec? Might shed some light towards a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangeleo72 Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 My fastest and most effective solution was to put a DX executable in pinballx, so that I could record with PBXRecorder 1.8 all the videos I needed and then put the GL in PBX again...

Mike_da_Spike Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 A quote from carny priest from vpf : Quote PinballX and PinballY front-ends use FFMPEG built-in GDI grabbers which will not pick up OpenGL rendered screens. If you have Nvidia then PinballX has an option to use the GPU driver to capture the playfield screen. That should work in theory. Popper should work as it makes use of more recently introduced features of FFMPEG that no longer uses gdigrab. I have a port of an older version of PBXRecorder that does record Future Pinball/OpenGL using Open Broadcaster Studio (OBS). The script is here: https://forums.gamee...&comment=192692 Read through the thread. Somebody posted step by step instructions to get it working although it would be based on an older version of OBS. Should be enough to get started. My newest script is based on OBS and is a very stripped down script feature-wise. It is what I use personally, and I know works with latest AutoHotkey V1 and OBS. It uses GPU hardware acceleration and captures media faster than anything else even with my ancient cabinet PC. https://forums.gamee...&comment=213953 See https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=33552&page=20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I get that there is a workaround but if there is an error prompt it is prudent to try to replicate the error and the variables as best as possible to replicate it so that the app author can review and fix it if possible. Of course, in retrospect it probably doesn't matter since the app author hasn't been in the forum for a few years,, so carry on! Nothing to see here...

Mike_da_Spike Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Well, no error is thrown out. All is working, but capturing the GL version of VPX with PinballX or PBX recorder will create a still image instead of the video. Thats how ffmpeg gdi grab is working. I thought I tested to use another parameter and it could grab the video. But that was more than 7 months ago and can't recall it anymore...
