The pinballx settings for the VP system needs to be fixed. The second line should point to the VP folder not Pinballx

C:\PinballX\Databases\Visual Pinball\Visual Pinball.xml
C:\PinballX
C:\Visual Pinball\Tables
VPinballX.exe

Thank you joe, were do I change that ?

[gtxjoe]

Run the settings or setup exe in the Pinballx installation and review your Visual Pinball System settings

[FrankEltolete]

Never mind I found it, in the setting for pinballx I had it pointing to itself, thank you again Joe I'm running the app now it's opening my tables now.

I have one table where I need to increase the amount of time before the recording starts so not to record the start up message. How do I adjust the the amount of time before recordings start?

 

Thanks

Rather than change your settings for just one table, I believe that you can pause the script, get your table ready and then resume the script

Of course I could be wrong

Hey all. I have my playfield in portrait and all of my videos have the flippers on the right (counter clockwise 90 degrees). I saw that BorgDog was having the same issue and fixed it using the transpose argument, but I don't know where/how to add that to the script.

[gtxjoe]

To increase table load time, go into PBXRecorder settings and pick a longer load time like 30 sec (default is 15 sec) or as was mentioned you can hit the pause key for that one table and unpause to start the recording

 

 

For no video rotation, copy the ahk file to the main PBXRecorder folder.  Open it in notepad and around line 6, change PI to 0, as below

  PFRotation="rotate=PI:bilinear=0"

 

to

 

PFRotation="rotate=0:bilinear=0"

 

You need to have autohotkey installed, to compile it into an exe, or run directly from the .ahk file

Feature suggestion
I like the "Record one table"  option very much.
Would it be possible to add a "Record selected tables" option to the programm? Like the programm let's you select more than one table to record? 

Thanks for this awesome tool

Really great program I have been using for awhile. I now have just changed to using VPX in full screen mode. Now I can't seem to record any new tables. Do i need to go back to windows mode record then change back to full screen mode?

 

Thanks again!

[gtxjoe]

@Mark70, if you want to record multiple tables, is there a specific reason why you don't use PBXR to search and record all missing media?  I can take a look into multiple file support, but why is it needed?  Thanks

 

 

Here is a beta release with the following changes.  Unzip it to an existing PBXRecorder install.

; 1.6 changes

; Disable VPX truefullscreen so playfield video/image recording works

; Support table sub-folders

; Added playfield video rotation settings

; Support VP exe filenames with spaces

gtxjoe. Just a long overdue thanks for your work on PBXrecorder. I use it all the time!

[Mark70]

Hi gtxjoe, for example you have 10 tables in your collection which already have media files, but you are either not happy with it or the tables or backglasses got a major update and you want
to replace the media files with the latest images / videos.
Then you could mark these 10 tables at once and the media files would be replaced for those 10 tables, without the need to replace the media files for all tables. 
So all other tables would not change, only the 10 tables you wanted and it would save time compared to replace everything again. 

BUT: I'm not a programmer, I just thought to make it as a suggestion, so maybe it is way too much work or difficult to implement.
It is still very comfortable and helpful to do this by using 10 times the "record one table" option for every single table. 

So thanks again for the tool.

There is an option to only do new tables and leave existing media, so if you delete the ones you want to replace, it will treat them as new and redo only them I believe.

Ruty's approach works or you can even have PBXR set up to "Record complete media set for new and incomplete tables". So in your scenario, just go into one of the Pinballx media folders, like backglass videos folder and delete the 10 videos.  Now when you run PBXR, it will re-record all media for those 10 tables

 

I will put the request on the to do list but it might be a while

I just tried your beta 1.6.5 and it recorded my videos in full screen! This is awesome. Thank you so much!

All good, maybe it's something for the long term.

Today I recorded new images for some tables again by using the "Record one table" option, and it works so well and is so much better than before when I did this all manually.

Thank you kindly. Took 2.5 hours of doing, but I now have all new videos for my tables.

 

I'm having a weird issue where PBX Recorder is seeing all of my VP9 tables as VPX and asking me to add them to the DB/record again. For right now I can just do the single table recording (great feature!), but I wanted to bring it to your attention.

[Akuma2000]

Thanks for this tool, works great for the tables in my Visual Pin folder.

 

But I have three more systems and folders with VP921, PM5 and VPX tables.

PBX Recorder doesn't go through these tables (Tables not found in Visual Pinball.xml file):

 

Skipping disabled/non-VP system: Visual Pinball 921.xml

Skipping disabled/non-VP system: Visual Pinball Physmod5.xml

Skipping disabled/non-VP system: Visual Pinball X.xml

 

How can I configure this tool to go through these tables as well?

 

Another thing, I found this in the log:

Monitor 1: 3200x1024 (\\.\DISPLAY1) ==> This is the backglas monitor, which has 1280x1024 resolution, do I need to configure this somewhere?

Monitor 2: 1920x1080 (\\.\DISPLAY2)

 

Thanks in advance!

[gtxjoe]

In Pinballx setup, you just need to mark those extra systems as Visual Pinball systems

Don't worry about the resolution values. That's how Windows managed the monitors
