Mike_da_Spike Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Since updating to PinballX 7.21 I noticed a change in how the backglass behaves when launching a VPX table. Previously, when I disabled the “Hide Backglass” option in PinballX, I would get a smooth transition from my PinballX backglass video to the B2S backglass when the table started. I know this is technically an unintended use of the feature, but I think many users rely on this behavior because it creates a very clean visual handover. With 7.21, the behavior has changed. What happens now is: PinballX shows the backglass video as usual When launching the table, the B2S backglass appears briefly But then PinballX “hijacks” the backglass again and continues showing the video on top of the B2S window I understand that PinballX is supposed to keep control of the backglass window, but the previous behavior allowed for a much nicer transition. It seems that the old option no longer works the same way. Is this an intentional change in 7.21, or could this be a regression? Thanks in advance for looking into it. log.txt PinballX.ini
Draco1962 Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Probably off base, but could this be due to sample grabber? 1

I'll see when VPX starts that the PBX backglass is showing up after a few seconds. It's correct according to the settings, but it's doing it for the first time in eight years I've been using PBX. @Tom Speirssomething to say about this ?
Draco1962 Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Apparently there is a setting in Display Settings you can toggle to enable/disable. I did not see an entry in your pinballx.ini, so possible you need to take action for it to show? IDK.
Tom Speirs Posted May 1 Posted May 1 not intentional. its probably the video changes. ill take a look but im without another display for now. Thanks 1
Tom Speirs Posted May 2 Posted May 2 I assume this is the same in every release since media foundation? i got a little monitor to test.

Tom Speirs Posted May 2 Posted May 2 Okay, i will take a look. i got a display. i am so pleased i fixed the sample grabber code though. that has been been bugging me for a long time! does it work with sample grabber, is it just media foundation?

I upgraded to 7.21 and tried the three different settings: 'Mediafoundation Yes/No' and 'sample grabber'. Now everything works fine, even after a reboot. I was able to reproduce the issue after rebooting earlier this week, but not anymore. I’d say we can close the issue for now. Edit : Could it be related to the fact that a second version 7.21 was uploaded last week?
