rtkiii Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Hey all, Decided to put in new HDD with Win10 in my cabinet. Win7 would not upgrade . So I am basically setting up from scratch and was doing from memory of an install I did like 8 years ago. LOL - yeah i am dumb. I installed and tried copying config files but then PBX would not launch. So I uninstalled and started from scratch. My PinballFX3 list seems to work ok but VP and VPX list I have just show black. If I remove the video files from the path below I see the "grey" screen like no media has been loaded. So I am sure PBX is seeing the video files but not playing. They are .f4v file format. Wheel images are fine. The video files are C:\PinballX\Media\VPX. I installed the LAV codecs and took defaults.(I did not have this original and the PinballFX3 tables would only show backglass). Then I remembered I needed some special codecs and found the PBX install instructions online. Once installed the PBFX3 show BG and tables now but VP and VPX tables still show the black screen. I am sure this is an easy fix but I must be missing something. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scutters Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Sounds like a LAV setting. Try these settings; https://forums.gameex.com/forums/topic/20816-pinballx-267-black-screen-resolved/?do=findComment&comment=178455 If that's not it please attach your pinballx.ini and log.txt files.

rtkiii Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 Just the AMD Radeon VC The backglass i using DVI and playfield is HDMI. Not sure why that would matter. Verified the videos both show same codec info as well. PinballX.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have UseB2S=True set, so PinballX is trying to use the actual B2S file rather than backglass media files. In Settings.exe check the value under Display Settings->Use Direct B2S in Front End.. set it to No. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
