Xantari Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hi, I am wondering, how can I tell pinball x to automatically download all Table Videos, Backglass images, DMD videos, system / manufacturer logos after installing the game? Could not find an option anywhere. Have subscriptions to Gameex and emumovies. Also, could not see where to put in my emumovies login info within pinball x to have it sync videos from that site. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybonz Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I asked about this back in the beginning of June. Was told it was a planned feature. The emumovies part I doubt they will want to add because they would rather you pay for downloading the content here instead of there, but I could be wrong.

Xantari Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Gotcha. Was hoping there was something like the syncing service in hyperspin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 You can use the game manager to download media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xantari Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 I watched the below video on how to do this. However this assumes I have a media pack from somewhere already downloaded. I guess I need to manually find all media packs for hundreds of tables, import it first, then point to the table. What I was doing was hitting "Add Game", selecting my .vpt or .vpx file, then was hoping I could press a "Retrieve all media" button. I thought maybe that is what the "Online for Import" did, automatically went and fetched all backglass, dmd, and table videos/images automatically when you add a game, but that doesn't seem to work, or I am misunderstanding the feature of "Online for import".

Tom Speirs Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Yes, it is the online for import you need. You need to individually import the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xantari Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Whenever I hit "Import" next to each game. It just hangs, or only gives me a background image. It doesn't get the DMD, backglass, and table videos automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 You have to import each peace of media individually. It shouldn't hang. Are you using the latest version of PinballX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xantari Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Yeah latest version of pinball X. I'm confused as to how to import each piece of media individually. There is only one Import button next to the game. It doesn't have a selection of "Import Backglass", "Import Table Video", "Import DMD Video", "Import Wheel Image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xantari Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 OMG. Face palm. I'm blind. Thank you. One last question, how do you preview the selection (video or image) when there are multiple selections available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 No worries. It is not possible to preview right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtxjoe Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Here is the link to PBX Recorder utility. It will walk through your Pinballx VP xml database and automatically screenshot Playfield, Backglass and DMD images or record videos of them. If you have a GameEx Pass or Online Pass it can also download wheel images automatically. Good luck Demo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xantari Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Awesome, this is probably the simplest way to do this. Just need to make sure DMD, backglass, and table is all working before hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32assassin Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 the best thing to do is record your own Videos or capture your own images. the pinball video selection at emumovies is very limited, and the videos they do have for cabs are in F4V format. witch means that they are probably a few years old. witch means they have not been updated in a very long time and more then likely are for old outdated tables. the only thing you should be syncing is:Wheel images, Flyers and instruction cards. you can manually download a huge packs from my folder in the FTP I recently released a pack for Future Pinball http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/files/file/12263-future-pinball/ and here is a full pack to Pinball FX2 http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/files/file/10948-pinball-fx2/ the instruction cards and Flyers can be found in the FTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrKnister Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Hey there, i might add a question here, regerading the download option via game manager from pinballx. could it be, that if you create custom systems, that when you try to download some missing elements via the game manager, that the list which pop's up, when you set the checkbox "online", is always empty ? i noticed this while playing with customs lists and the true fullscreen option. when i switch back to the "regular" visual pinball list, the popup windows shows content. but like i mentioned, within the custom systems i created manually within the xml file, the return of a media search always provides an empty window. a bug maybe ? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
