      Sorry for my bad english

       

      Have a question about PinUp Popper music while I am in the Visual Pinball folder and choose between the tables back and forth. I have a music file here which is about 70 minutes. When I choose a table, the music file is ended. As soon as I leave the table and return to the table selection menu, PinUp Popper launches the 70-minute music event from the beginning. If you can set the Pooer so that Popper pauses the music file and if I select tables again, the music file will continue to play.

      PinballX did that, but I do not want to use it because it was bad for me

      I did not really want any sound / music of the tables while I was switching back and forth between them.

      thanks for answers

      Best regards

        in next version 1.4 you’ll be able to do this easily with default table audio by playlist.

            Hello – I currently have the version 1.4.2

            how do I set it, what I like in my first question in this post that my 60 min long music file starts once and pauses when I choose a VP10 table …. then it keeps running when I choose between the tables. Currently PinUp Popper starts the music file again and again from the beginning, when I’m in the table selection

             

            my question about it :mail:

            I’m in the Visual Pinball 10 folder and pick out the next table, it plays a 60 min long piece of music (cool music) …

            as soon as I select a table pauses the> piece of music z.b. at time 1:20 min / sec.

            when I leave the table again PinUp Popper continues the piece of music at 1:21 min / sec

            is that possible ??? because currently Popper starts again at 0:00 min / sec – so from the beginning :unsure:   :bye:

              no,  it doesn’t support it exactly like you wanted.  you could use a workaround to play an always on-background, but that will mix with any audio you have on your tables.

                I’m also interested in how this might be done – I’m not worried about the ability to resume a file from where it left off like timblo was asking for, but it would be great to have music that plays while Popper is visible, then stops when you start a table, then starts again when you close the table.

                Nailbuster first mentioned that this could be done with “default table audio by playlist”.  Not sure what was meant by that, but I tried dragging an MP3 to the “Audio” square of the Home playlist in Media Manager.  I assumed this would play the track when Popper starts and shows the initial Home screen, but nothing plays so maybe that’s not what was meant.

                The second suggestion was to “play an always on-background”.  Again I’m not really sure what it meant by this … is this about making an addition screen in the “PinUpMenu” PuP Pack to play music or something like that?

                I wish I understood PinUp better so I wouldn’t feel such a dolt trying to customise it because it has so much potential and I’m sure I don’t use half of it! :D

                  You’ll need to set it to not hide the “Music/Audio” screen so that it’ll actually play. I found out about this setting up a PostDMD front end video on our cab, once I set that to showing, the “table is now loading” audio sound bite becomes active.

                    Thank you @LynnInDenver.   However my “Music” screen (screen 4) is already set to “Show”, and the audio does play for when a table loads, so I don’t think it’s that setting in this instance. :/
