Grifter Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Hi folks, I'm new to this virtual pinball awesomeness, and have hit an odd problem that I can't seem to find a solution for that I am hoping someone here can point me the right direction. In short, PUP Packs are not showing up on my backglass for VPX tables, just the DMD shows up. If the table has a .directb2s file, the backglass image shows up. If it does not, and I have the PUP Pack installed in the \vPinball\PinUPSystem\PUPVideos directory, I only see the DMD over my desktop background. I do not have this issue with Future Pinball, just VPX. I already checked my B2S Backglass Server settings and the Plugin Settings box is not greyed out and everything seems to match the instructions. My setup: 2 screen setup with screen 1 being the playfield and screen 2 being the backglass and the dmd on top. Installed everything via the Baller Installer Updated Baller Installer components and followed instructions via https://www.nailbuster.com/wikipinup/doku.php?id=update_baller_2022 Added tables and pup packs I hope it is just something simple I'm overlooking and I appreciate the n00b help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrATH2000 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Pinup packs don't use the backglass server, they use their own screen settings in the PinUpPlayerConfigDisplays which you have to configure according to your screen or screens. Set the screens in "PinUpPlayerConfigDisplays" to appear on screen 2 and make sure the second screen is to the right or left in the windows display settings on your desktop, it doesn't seem to work when set to the top like say you have your second screen physically above your primary screen I've noticed. You should also rename your BS2 when using pinup packs unless both on your second screen, I assume you just want to use the pinup pack as the backglass.

Grifter Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Thank you for your reply! I quadruple-checked and what is set in PinUpPlayerConfigDisplays.bat is correct. I see the backglass image on monitor 2, the DMD there, and the playfield on monitor 1. However, it doesn't make any difference in getting a PUP pack to show. I've tried this with Simpsons Pinball Party, BTTF, Goonies, etc and all are the same. I tried moving my second display to the left of my main display in Windows Display Settings, but regardless of what I set things to in PinUpPlayerConfigDisplays, once I clicked save, everything would appear on the same monitor. Is there a log file or something I can look at to get more info about what may be going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrATH2000 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Try this config in the screenshot Then set the pinup pack screens in PinUpPlayerConfigDisplays to quick position: Display #2, position the screen accordingly and they should stay when saved. If the pinup packs still don't show then I can only think it that pinup popper is not setup right or directory is wrong. The pinup pack is usally named the same as the rom and make sure you have extracted it correctly. Edited March 16, 2022 by WrATH2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifter Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Unfortunately, the same thing. I also just moved my vpinball directory and did a new install and tested with just one vpx table and same result. I may have to try a new windows install if that problem is stuck somewhere else.

WrATH2000 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 My directory is like this for the pinup packs "PinUPPopper_FrontEnd\PUPVideos\TheGoonies" .Try PinUpPlayerTestPack, type the pinup pack name in the box and press the button PUPinit, it should show the pinup pack videos on your screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifter Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Thanks for the tip, I tried that and nothing displayed, which I guess is a step in trying to sort this out. I then tried the PinUpPlayerTest.exe and the test VLC button did nothing. Is it like that on your end? Just thinking maybe VLC isn't working.

Grifter Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Trying a few PUP packs and the only one that works through the PinUpPlayerTestPack is FP_PE_RETROFLAIR_BAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmt26 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 What version of vlc do you have? I recall a while ago to make sure you do not update that. Not sure if that is still the rec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifter Posted March 17, 2022 Author Share Posted March 17, 2022 It was a bit of a goose chase, but the issue is the PUP Packs themselves that I downloaded! The ones I downloaded from here all work through PinUpPlayerTest. However, some I downloaded from vpforums.org don't work. Does that sound familiar to anyone?
