Autorecord is recording wrong screen

[emruff]

Whenever I try and record the playfield it ends up recording the backglass and then displays the video on the playfield. Is there a setting that I need to change to tell it to record the correct screen? All of my displays are setup correctly to the best of my knowledge. They are all the correct resolution and they don’t bleed into the other screens. The only thing I can think of is that Windows has the backglass as screen 1, playfield (main display) 2, and Full DMD 3.

I’ve gone through the setup and troubleshooting sections and still can’t figure it out. Here are my recording logs.

It’s still recording my backglass and displaying that video for the playfield.

you configured recordstart.bat to use GPU recording for playfield.  so all its doing is pressing alt-f9 to start and stop recording.

whatever you setup to record via alt-f9 is recording the wrong screen(or not recording anything)… nothing to do with popper.

Thanks for your reply NailBuster. When I go to record, I select playfield and that’s when it records the backglass. It records the backglass and Full DMD with no issues so I’m not sure what the problem is.

“it records the backglass”….  IT is not popper….  IT is your GPU doing that (geforce?/amd?).   You need to configure your GPU recording to the proper screen.

or don’t use GPU.  use obs or go back to ffmpeg (default).

I was finally able to resolve the issue. You were correct in that it was something to do with nvidia not selecting the correct screen. For some reason it would only record what Windows labeled as screen 1. I was able to fix it by uninstall all display devices, unplugging all displays except the playfield, doing a fresh install of the nvidia drivers, then connecting the displays one at a time in the correct order. After I did that the monitors were numbered correctly in Windows. One thing to mention is that I had the backglass connected via display port and it would always set as display 1 in Windows no matter which port I would use on the video card. I switched over to HDMI and no longer have that issue.
