Just upgraded to version 18 and whenever I record a table (new or updated) PinballY freezes at the very end of the video capture. The weird thing is the videos on the BG and PF still run but the "Exiting Game..." and wheel image just get stuck and I have to force the program closed from the desktop/taskbar. Normal browsing and playing of tables is working and everything was working just fine in the previous version. Hope this makes sense. Any help is greatly appreciated! Running 64 bit.

Does not freeze for me, but, haven't recorded more than maybe 2-3 with that version.

I just gave it a quick test, and it seems to be working for me.

 

Things to try:

 

- Is PinballY responding to any mouse input?  Try right-clicking in the main window to bring up the context menu, for example.

 

- Try going to Task Manager and looking at the running process list.  See if the game and/or FFMPEG are stlil running.  It's possible that VP (or whatever you're recording) is actually the thing that's getting stuck, and PinballY is only stuck because it's waiting for it to finish.

- You might also try pressing the Exit Game button (usually Escape) a couple of times - that might help if the game is stuck trying to exit, since it should make PinballY try again to terminate the process (assuming PinballY is still responsive under the covers)

Here's how you can put this together to create the custom filter:

gameList.createFilter({
    id: "missingGameFiles",
    title: "Games without .vpt/.vpx files",
    menuTitle: "Missing Table Files",
    select: game => !game.resolveGameFile().exists,
    group: "[Op]"  // this is an operator menu filter!
});

As always, drop that into a text file called main.js in your PinballY Scripts folder.

 

Note that the new filter will appear in the Operator Menu, which you can access by pressing the 0 (digit ZERO) key, assuming you're using the default key assignments.  You can move it to the main menu if you prefer by changing the group to "[Top]".  You can also set up other ways to access it if you prefer, such as custom menus or custom key assignments.  And many other such filters are possible!  The Javascript help has details on all of that.

 

That worked great!  I don' t know if I could have figured it out on my own so thanks for providing the code.

- Try going to Task Manager and looking at the running process list.  See if the game and/or FFMPEG are stlil running.  It's possible that VP (or whatever you're recording) is actually the thing that's getting stuck, and PinballY is only stuck because it's waiting for it to finish.  • Task manager only shows PinballY open.

• I noticed that it only happens when recording both the BG & PF during the same process. When I record them individually, it exits out just fine.

PhotoRay - I'm not sure what else to try.  It's pretty clear from the symptoms that PinballY is just waiting for the game to exit, but you said that you confirmed in task manager that no other processes are running, so I'm not sure what's going on.  Did you check the process list in Task Manager ("Details" tab), as opposed to just the task list?  Maybe one of the processes is still going without any windows.  And have you tried looking at the PinballY log?  (Be sure to turn on logging for media capture and table launch.)

 

EDIT: Thinking about this more, it's got to be FFMPEG that's stuck.  Check for that in the Task Manager process list.   It's a faceless process, so you won't see it in the running applications list - you've got to go to the Details tab.  If you do find an FFMPEG process, try killing it.  That should hopefully make PinballY come back to normal interaction status.  Exit out of the PinballY and examine the log.  Check in particular for messages from FFMPEG.  FFMPEG might be getting itself into an error state where it stops and waits for you to type something on the DOS console, which will never happen since it's running invisibly in the background.

Hi mjr - thanks for the quick response and for trying that. I am using Windows 7 64-bit. I use the latest nVidia drivers for a GTX 970. Thanks

P.S. Not sure if it's relevant but in PBY as a test I used two standard alphabetical keys for the pause button and exit button, just in case there was a conflict in the way VPX implements ESC. But I got the same behaviour.

 

The choice of keys shouldn't make any difference to PinballY, but it was a good test to try different keys just in case it was a conflict on the VP side or somewhere else.

 

So, the way that Windows 8 handles task switching from full-screen applications is to minimize the full-screen window.  That seems to be something that the OS does automatically as soon as you switch to another program.  But program switching is controlled by Windows itself, and it doesn't always allow a background task to take control - the rules for that are complex and aren't documented precisely; they're kind of vague and hand-wavy about it in the API docs, like the Microsoft tech writers aren't sure about it.  So I wouldn't be surprised if there's some variation on Win 7 vs Win 8 vs Win 10, and full-screen might be one of the differences.

5Anyway, one thing we could try is to explicitly minimize the VP window when you try to switch away from it.  Here's some Javascript code that you 5can try out: this will intercept the Pause Game command, minimize the current foreground window, and then let PinballY do its normal task switch attempt.  It also intercepts Resume so that it can restore the old window.  Drop this into a text file called Main.js in your PinballY Scripts folder.

Script

I should add that if this works, I can add do something like that in the main program, so that you won't need the javascript.  But we can try the javascript version to see if it actually  helps, to see if it's worth making the change in the program itself.

 

 

Hi mjr

I just got back and tested the script you provided.  It is doing something, but not working 100%.  I think it's just an issue with which window is taking focus and maybe VP not pausing.

 

As a reminder I am in Win7 64-bit running VPX 1.6 with 2 screens and a real DMD.  My playfield is set to Exclusive Full Screen.

I used the M key for the Pause, just using the keyboard on the Pincab for testing purposes.

 

1/ I load a table and wait for everything to initialise - the DMD attract mode starts.

2/ I hit the pause key:

   a) the playfield disappears, the PinballY playfield screen shows which says 'Running...', but NO menu

   b) The Backglass still shows

   c) the DMD is still running

3/ I hit pause again:

   a) the B2S backglass (running as an EXE) disappears

   b) the PinballY menu appears

   c) the DMD still runs

4a/ If I click Resume, the B2S backglass comes back, but the PinballY 'Running' screen is all that shows on the playfield

4b/ If I click Terminate, it exits back to PinballY.  The Playfield Image and Wheel shows, but No Backglass shows (I need to right-click Show Backglass again).

 

If I repeat the above test but also insert coins and start a game in step 1, I can hear the table is still playing in the background throughout the whole of the above test.

 

ONE OTHER OBSERVATION.  When I load a table the B2S appears sometime AFTER the VP player window, so maybe this is the 'main window' with focus at the end of the load cycle?

 

I am home tomorrow day, so I can try and adapt your script trying different things unless something is obvious to you right away from my description above.  Thanks!

[mjr]

Atarian - it sounds like this is getting closer, but not quite there yet.  Focus going to the B2S window means that you're at least getting the game window out of full-screen mode successfully, so that's a start, but apparently PinballY is still unable to wrest focus away from the overall process.  Windows apparently isn't allowing the SetForegroundWindow() operation to switch focus at the process level from VP to PinballY.  This is always a bit tricky because Windows intentionally tries to make it difficult for one process to steal focus from another process.  It's desirable to switch focus in this case, but imagine if applications were doing this all the time whenever they wanted to.  Microsoft had good intentions in making it difficult, but unfortunately they made it a little too difficult for this case where we want it, apparently.

 

I'm not sure what to try.  There might be some timing variation needed, like a short delay (a few seconds) between the SC_MINIMIZE and the focus grab.  You might try adding this to the end of the "pause" script:

 

setTimeout(function() { User32.SetForegroundWindow(mainWindow.hwndFrame); }, 2500);

 

And if that doesn't work at first, maybe experimenting with the timing parameter (the 2500, which is the delay time in milliseconds - 2500ms == 2.5 seconds) to see if a longer timeout does the trick.

By the way, the reason it doesn't work properly on Resume when you hit Pause twice is that PinballY notes the window that has focus at the moment of the Pause command, so that it can send focus back to the same window on Resume.  When you press Pause a second time, PinballY is noticing on the second press that the B2S window is now in charge, so it remembers that as the Resume window.  Which obviously isn't what you want.  So we need to find a way to get focus to PinballY on the first press.

[atarian]

Hi mjr - Thanks for the explanation and suggestion.  I tried the delay in a few different places and increased it in length, etc. but it didn't make a difference.

 

Another observation is this:

 

1/  If I play a table WITHOUT a b2s the PinballY screen saying 'Running...' is shown AND the menu does appear.  However the table is still playing in the background.  I am not sure if that is what you expect?  if so, then this scenario is working.    The Resume also works in that the VPlayer playfield appears and has focus.

 

I will continue to play around a bit and will report back if I get any further.  Thanks

Hi mjr. I experimented but didn't get very far. The good thing with the script you provided is at least PinballY is usable in that I can exit a table (2 presseses, but that isn't the end of the world). Given the advantages PinballY gives me (including the awesome screen capturing, other stuff like DOF effects, open-source aspects, etc) I am switching to it permanently so many thanks for your massive amount of work writing it and providing superb documentation.

So I can continue to experiment I was about to ask you if there is a way from the JavaScript where I can write to a debug log or add some trace code. I then thought let's check the documentation first and there is an answer .

For anyone else who needs info on debugging it is here (multiple options available):
http://mjrnet.org/pi...lp/JsDebug.html

I will use logfile.log() today.

[atarian]

Hey mjr - kind of good news .

 

You might recall when I first posted in these threads I had an issue of the missing menu text, and at that time you asked if I was using the 64-bit version of PinballY.  At that time I was switching between the two to see if it made any difference, and for that particular problem it didn't (the solution in the end was related to my Windows Performance settings - Font Smoothing, etc.).

 

Now back to my problem bringing up the pause menu whilst using Exclusive Full Screen in VPX.  So far I have been using the PinballY 64-bit version 100% whilst working with this issue.  As a test today, I re-installed PinballY but FIRST tried the 32-bit version and I also temporarily removed the Main.js.  Guess what?  I can activate the Pause menu no problem with the standard Beta 18 build (and like I said with no Main.js script)!

 

I then re-installed PinballY 64-bit (again with no Main.js) and I cannot activate any menus at all.  To be sure this wasn't a fluke I re-installed PinballY 32-bit and it works again for several tables in a row.  The resume still doesn't work but that is something I think you are aware of with Exclusive Full Screen.

 

I grabbed the PinballY logs (attached) and can see there are differences including:

> the 64-bit version launches the Dof3264Surrogate.exe

> Some messages about Hi-score retrieval and DLLs

 

I am of course now using the 32-bit version fine, however to maybe try and understand the problem I had with the 64-bit version (if you want to that is!) - it might be something screwy in my setup.  Maybe I have messed up somewhere with the VpinMame installations, etc.  To provide more info over Christmas I started upgrading my Pinball Cabinet to add PinballY and to also install a real lightbar - Whilst I was installing DOF, etc. I had a real headache and had to re-install VPinMame, and the drivers for my PinDMD2 as that stopped working as well.   I am pretty sure in the end I ended up installing the 32-bit of PinMame as the 64-bit didn't work for me.    I don't know if this would cause the 'pause menu not showing issue'' with the 64-bit version of PinballY or not,  but if there is anything you want me to check or to try so that you can understand the problem fully then I can of course try.

 

If this issue is due to a mistake on my part then I can only apologise in advance   .

10 January 2020, 15:22:29: PinballY session ending

Edited by atarian, 10 January 2020 - 04:01 PM.

[djlunchbox]

Does anyone else have an issue with FX3 and the videos not staying on when a table launches?

I have the option selected to keep the backglass on but it still shows the black screen.

[djlunchbox]

Welp solved myself again. Backglass repositioning needs to be set to off. In FX3

[atarian]

Just upgraded to version 18 and whenever I record a table (new or updated) PinballY freezes at the very end of the video capture. The weird thing is the videos on the BG and PF still run but the "Exiting Game..." and wheel image just get stuck and I have to force the program closed from the desktop/taskbar. Normal browsing and playing of tables is working and everything was working just fine in the previous version. Hope this makes sense. Any help is greatly appreciated! Running 64 bit.

I have had something similar when capturing screenshots but only some of the time.

Whilst capturing just the playfield and backglass images for a single table and using the flippers to manually trigger the two screenshot captures, I have had PinballY get stuck saying 'Exiting Table'. VPX and the Backglass exes are definitely closed in the process list, and the screenshots are successfully created. I had it happen maybe 5 times with Beta 18 which is the first version I have tried it with. Typically I tried to reproduce this last night and it worked everytime. I even did a 5 table batch capture successfully.

I have a feeling I may have caused the issue in the timing of me pressing the two flippers manually to trigger the screenshots. I know I once had the Exiting table message stuck when I terminated VPX manually by pressing Q twice on the keyboard. Of course that is not the normal way to exit a table from PinballY but it might give a clue what's going on. Hope this helps.

I ran up against an odd one today.

 

I'm too lazy to read all 50+ pages of this thread to see if you've covered this one or not, so here it is...

 

PinballY can't run a table that has a single quote in the name.  It gives a Window's message box error. (At least it does on my cabinet... could be my setup?)

 

For example, something like this:  BoltBait's Favorite Table.vpx

 

Of course, I simply renamed the file. But, I thought you'd like to know about it in case it comes up again.

I noticed something in the frontend itself for tables that have multiple apostrophies in the name.  I opened an issue about it in github.  https://github.com/m...allY/issues/108

[mjr]

[Long story short: the PAUSE problem goes away in 32-bit mode, still happens in 64-bit mode]

 

Well, I guess that's a sort of solution if you're okay running the 32-bit version.  I don't know why that would make any difference, though.

 

 

I am pretty sure in the end I ended up installing the 32-bit of PinMame as the 64-bit didn't work for me.    I don't know if this would cause the 'pause menu not showing issue'' with the 64-bit version of PinballY or not [...]

 

I can't think of any way that would affect any of this.  Pretty much everyone uses the 32-bit PinMame, as that's the only thing that will work with 32-bit VP.

 

I know I once had the Exiting table message stuck when I terminated VPX manually by pressing Q twice on the keyboard.

 

That one, at least, is easily explained.  Pressing Q-Q doesn't terminate VP.  It only exits the "Play" mode and returns to the VP editor.  So when you pressed Q-Q, you left the VP process running, hence PinballY had no way of knowing you were trying to exit.  It was just happily sitting there waiting for you to exit the VP process, and the VP process was happily sitting there waiting for your instructions in the table editor.

 

Whilst capturing just the playfield and backglass images for a single table and using the flippers to manually trigger the two screenshot captures, I have had PinballY get stuck saying 'Exiting Table'. VPX and the Backglass exes are definitely closed in the process list [...]

 

Next time it happens, check to see if FFMPEG is still running, because that's the one that I think is getting stuck here.

 

Let me know if you identify any sort of pattern to when it happens or not.  It doesn't seem to happen at all for me, so I'm going to have to rely on you guys figuring out what's causing it.  Hopefully atarian's situation where it happens some of the time will be illuminating - if you can figure out what the pattern is that makes it happen or not, that might explain the source of the problem.

[atarian]

Thanks mjr for the response.

I haven't had the screenshot issue for a while now so a possibility is it was when I was using the 64-bit version. I can't say that for sure but if I continue to generate screenshots over the next week or two without any issue with 32-bit I will flip to 64-bit to give that a go. If it does happen at all I will check ffmpeg as suggested.

I have flipped over to PinballY permanently now and it is working like a dream so thanks again for that. I also am using PinVol and PinAffinity now and they are excellent. I have always used an affinity tool for about 8 years now in the cab and it has always helped me eliminate stutter. Previously I had to manually maintain a list of non-Pinball programs but I really like the way PinAffinity does that automatically for any programs not categorised in the Pinball group. Very neat 👍.

PinballY can't run a table that has a single quote in the name.  It gives a Window's message box error. (At least it does on my cabinet... could be my setup?)

 

I think it *is* something about your setup. I do this all the time - e.g., Aladdin's Castle.  What's in the error box you're getting?

[BoltBait]

Sorry if I was misleading, I mean in the FILENAME not the table name.

 

I'll give you a screen shot later this weekend if you still need it.
