 ====== AMD GPU Issues ======
+----
+**2025: Just browsing Popper Media can crash VLC (popper menubar still works).**
+In 2025 PinUP defaults to OPENGL for video output so that VPX OPENGL plays nicer together while both are running. However some AMD models don't like VLC in OPENGL so you will need to switch PinUP back to DIRECTX mode.
+In your PINUPSYSTEM folder open up PinUPPlayer.ini in notepad and add the following section at bottom and save.
+Note. Make sure you add [SECTION] line as well if not present at bottom.
+<code>
+[SYSTEM]
+;VideoDriver 2=DirectX, 3=Direct3d, 4=OpenGl (pupdefault=4)
+VIDEODriver=2
+</code>
+----
 VPX and PinUP work best with an NVIDIA GPU (graphics card).

+===== Popper Recording =====
+With AMD you will need to modify/change options in the RECORDSTART.BAT file inside pinupsystem\recordings folder.  (hasNvidia=0) for example.

 ===== 4K Playfield videos =====
-AMD GPU users report that when using 4K videos for playfield that only a few frames with show and then freeze.  This happens with certain models of AMD (5700XT for example).  The issue I've found is that VLC/AMD doesn't like a certain pixel format for these mp4's.  420p pixelformat seems to be the problem as recording with 422pixel format works.
