Dmd dont play movies no more

[Malinas]

After re-install Pinup popper don´t show attract dmd movies on my Pindmd v3 no more. I have struggled with this for some days now and i just can´t get it to work again.

i have the setting  useDMD = true; // set to true if using hardware dmddevice.DLL, for real DMDs. false = disabled

The dmd works on tables and so on, this is just the “attract” stuff it don´t show anymore. The other screens BG + TOPPER shows up as well.

follow this video closely.  as long as you don’t have anti-virus or blocked files in windows it just ‘works’.

Hi! Yes, i have did that. Thing is that…

This is very strange, and i have tried like everything for soon a week now ;/
Can it be something that i missed in the “launch script”. i use the one you gave me last time.

START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe" 30 10 60 “Visual Pinball Player” 5
cd /d "[DIREMU]"
if "[RECMODE]"=="1" (
START /min "" vpinballx.exe "[DIREMU]" -DisableTrueFullscreen -minimized -play "[GAMEFULLNAME]"
) else (
START /min "" vpinballx.exe "[DIREMU]" -minimized -play "[GAMEFULLNAME]"
)

If i start a Ultra DMD Table from VPX the DMD is shown on PINDMD V3

If i start a Ultra DMD Table from POPPER the DMD is shown on TOPPER
But if i start a regular table from POPPER the DMD is shown on PINDMD V3

When it comes to the DMD attract files ( i did exactly as in your tutorial). All the .mp4 attract for dmd is shown in Topper when i am in attract mode for the Pinup Popper. So i can´t get the attract movies from dmd to show on the Pindmd v3 as it was before ;/

I post everything here, and maybe you can see something that i can´t.

Edit: I have now reinstalled, Vpinmame, B2s, VPX , everything except for Pinup Player. And isolated the issue to that it has to be somewhere in pinup player.
i am to new to this to re-install pinup player, in case everything i have added there just disappears, i know that my media and such don´t dissapear, but like all the info, alt name tags and so on…  it is weeeeeeeks of work ;) . I cant risk that. Any idéas here? Or should i go for a re-install.
