toaster777 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I've been switching over all my wheels to animated ones. My process has been to delete the current png wheel in media manager and then drag over the new apng file. For 98% of tables it's worked fine however for some I drag the apng over and it appears nothing happens. However it's there because if I drag it over again it asks if I want to replace or add and if I launch popper the animated wheel appears. However in the media manager it always shows the wheel as empty - as if it has no wheel even though it does. Is there a way to fix this so those wheels actually appear in media manager?

If you haven't figured this out yet can you let us know specifically which animated wheels are not working for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that the wheels don't work. They do. The issue is in the Popper Media Manager the WheelImage shows as blank (the box is not green and clicking on it shows no files associated) but if I drag something onto the WheelImage box or select something from search it asks if I want to overwrite it. So the apng & png files are there but not displaying - also when you launch popper the apng works so the files are associated with the table but for some reason they don't display in Media Manager. I don't think it's related to the table but here are the ones not displaying for me in Media Manger: Batman '66, Big Bang Bar, Big Buck Hunter Pro, Big House, Bone Busters Inc., Cactus Canyon, Maverick, Medieval Madness, Rescue 911, Taxi, and T2.

Content Provider pritch33 Posted August 19, 2021 Content Provider Share Posted August 19, 2021 Check media search in game manager and check the box is blank on games having the issue. Other than that I would look at removing all the wheels from VPX and drag and drop them back in, in small batches and see if the problem continues. Not much help but only thing I can think of.

In Games Manager via media search the WheelImage is not green and blank for those games - same as in Media Manager. Removing all the wheels and doing them again isn't worth the effort. They work, they just don't show. If I ever want to replace them with another wheel I need to go and delete the actual files and then add the new wheel. It's a pain but much less effort than redoing all my wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Games Manager, I checked media search by clicking the media button and seeing the associated media for that game. Is that what you mean or something else?

That's on my main PC that I use for searching media and checking settings. I don't actually run pinball on it. I will check my cab later. I don't think its needed anymore anyway. I think was from a baller installer beta version but media search was on all previous versions im sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider pritch33 Posted August 21, 2021 Content Provider Share Posted August 21, 2021 @toaster777Checked my cab and also has the media search in the game manger. Are you sure you don't have the option? Seems strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffreco Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Did you ever figure this out? None of animated wheels work for me. Even the previews don't work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the previews are not displaying you need to update your popper version to the latest 1.4.6 version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
