If someone has a similar problem!

Off dmd monitor and lower the resolution to 1920x1080.

It has helped me

PBX Recorder is a great soft

I'm having issues where this is not recording BG videos in VPX. Recorded all VP9 tables and BG perfectly but in VPX. Any idea what I've screwed up?

Post a PBX recorder log file and I can review it

It looks like both monitors are 1920x1080. Make sure the top of the playfield and backglass monitors are aligned at the top. It appears that is not aligned right now

Do you mean in my Windows settings? I thought one had to be slightly lower than the other?

So, I joined GameEx to use the FTP. Some good files in there.. but Also some dated table videos etc. I guess I'll be installing this soon and will give it a whirl. That's GTXJoe for this tool. My VPin is really maturing now. 

[KenLowe]

Hi,

I am having a bit of trouble when running PBX, the tables do not close down and when the new one starts to record the older ones pop up.

Any Ideas?

Please let me know

Thanks

Ken

Did you try run as administrator.

[KenLowe]

I feel so dumb...   Thanks Outhere   Beer on me...

[Outhere]

Nice to see you have it working and it is one great program ...

A big thanks to all the people involved in making it

[Ark Malmeida]

Just finally starting using this amazing program (no idea what took me so long!) and I'm having a weird issue.  Even though I'm telling the software to use the description tag  from the XML file, it appears to be looking for vpt and vpx tables based on the game name.  It's proabably me doing something stupid, but I can't figure it out.  I've attached a file with a screen shot of the settings, as well as my Visual Pinball.xml and PBXrecorder.log files.  Any thoughts?

This program is awesome!!! 

The generosity found in this hobby has awe me & I get to play pinball  

Thank you all

[gtxjoe]

It looks for the "game name".vpt/.vpx file to pass that to Visual Pinball executable.

 

When it records media, the media filename wll be named based on your PBXR setting, either "game name".f4v or "description".f4v

 

For C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Pinball\Tables\AbraCaDabra_FS_B2S.vpt or AbraCaDabra_FS_B2S.vpx , don't you have a AbraCaDabra_FS_B2S.vpt/vpx?

[Ark Malmeida]

No, I actually have an Abracadabra.vpx, and so on.  I've always used the description as the table, b2s and media files name.  I figured it was something odd I was doing.  Any workaround for that besides renaming the .vpt files?  Could I edit the AHK script to look for the description instead without borking things?

Edited by Ark Malmeida, 06 August 2017 - 12:41 AM.

[gtxjoe]

I haven't tested this at all, but you can try replacing

			;Identify if vpt or vpx or possibly inside a folder named after description
			If (TableExists = 0)
			{
				IfExist, %TablePath%\%Description%\%Xtable%.vpt   
				{
					Table = %Description%\%XTable%.vpt 
					TableExists := 1
				}
				Else IfExist, %TablePath%\%Description%\%Xtable%.vpx   
				{
					Table = %Description%\%XTable%.vpx 
					TableExists := 1
				}
				Else      ; table not found			
				{
					Table = %XTable%.vpx 
					TableExists := 0
				}			
			}

with this:

			;Identify if vpt or vpx or possibly inside a folder named after description
			If (TableExists = 0)
			{
				IfExist, %TablePath%\%Description%.vpt   
				{
					Table = %Description%.vpt 
					TableExists := 1
				}
				Else IfExist, %TablePath%\%Description%.vpx   
				{
					Table = %Description%.vpx
					TableExists := 1
				}
				Else IfExist, %TablePath%\%Description%\%Xtable%.vpt   
				{
					Table = %Description%\%XTable%.vpt 
					TableExists := 1
				}
				Else IfExist, %TablePath%\%Description%\%Xtable%.vpx   
				{
					Table = %Description%\%XTable%.vpx 
					TableExists := 1
				}
				Else      ; table not found			
				{
					Table = %XTable%.vpx 
					TableExists := 0
				}			
			}

[Ark Malmeida]

Looks like that might do the trick!  It does report that it can't find the B2S file because it's looking for game name.B2S, but I'm sure I can find where it sets that variable and tweak that too.

 

One question though, I'm supposed to be editing PBXrecorder_1.6.ahk correct?  Is there any thing else I need to do to pick up the changes?  If I execute the modified script directly it sees the changes, but if I run the main executable, it does not seem to.

 

Thanks for all the help!

[Carny_Priest]

Windows Explorer -> Right click the script - Compile Script

 

will overwrite the executable with a new one with your changes

[Ark Malmeida]

Ah, OK, that's what I was wondering, so PBXRecorder.exe is simply the compiled ahk file.  Got it.

 

Everything is up and running now. Thanks all!
