Can’t seem to fix pinup player video stutter

[Gwen]

This has had me pulling my hair out for the last 2 months…

Prior to a few months ago I was running along just great with Pinup Player and Pinup Popper and having a great time and no problems.  At some point along the way something must have changed on my system (obviously) that causes my pinup videos to run really choppy unless the backglass is in focus.  With the backglass in focus they run just great, but as soon as the table gets focus they run all choppy.  This occurs both in Pinup Popper and when I launch directly from Visual Pinball, although it is more pronounced under Pinup Popper.

I have tried killing everything in memory that isn’t essential to running the table, I have reinstalled the latest version of the Pinup System, I have ensured I don’t have anti-virus software running, I have ensured I am running the correct version of VLC (2.2.8) and reinstalled it.  I have tried tweaking priority settings and the “always on top” property of VLC.

So far nothing has solved the problem.  So please, Nailbiter, Terry, or anybody with a helpful suggestion on how to solve this- I could really use your help.

Thanks guys!

is it certain packs?  all packs?  focus just running outside of any frontend first (less variables the easier to debug).

also,  reset your vlc settings… the defaults is really what is needed to work.

OK, you’d think that after all the years of software development and tech support I did that I would have learned by now to RTFM…

It was the Vsync setting in VPX.

Thanks Nailbuster, you’re a pal =)
