Distributed Rendering n backburner

[jonofj]

Can anybody help.

Im trying Distributed Rendering.

its registering the 2 slaves in backburner.

I can render from this slaves PC bythemselves, and logged in as administrator.
following instructions from another thread i found here,

when I click search LAN for Slave, they dont show up,,,which is weird cos I can see them registered on backburner.
so I type in the slave names in DR
but when rendering they show failed in Corona DR.

please help.

I have the same problem - distributive rendering dont work with backburner. Whether it will be fixed?

And the 2nd question: what i have to do when node [DECLINED] in list, but it seems, that all is ok, and DrServer is started. License - Box w/subs.

There is only 3 nodes connected, render via backburner, but nodes doesnt work:

What build are you trying? Try the latest daily - https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/board,19.0.html - both Corona version and DR server. There was one important fix for BB+DR situations.

Thanks, I will try it.
Now I use 1.00.02.

I take daily build from dropbox, "2015-release" folder, replace files, but corona is absent in list of renders, and Max started with errors.

After reinstall i get an 0xc000007b error when started DrServer. (((

I uninstall all of it, and install Corona 1.00.02 again, so i returned to the start. If  I copy daily build files, I think, I will get an error again.
I will try it on three nodes, daily build dont work on all of it.

PS
Then I try to install daily build on clean reinstalled Corona 1.00.02 on workstation, and there is an error:

[Ondra]

error: 0xc000007b  - do you have all windows updates installed?

the other error - it is a mismatched version - combining Corona binaries from different versions

[Yehat]

The windows is up to date.

I do all exacltly as in your links. There is only 3 files, no way for mistake. But daily build install with error on workstation and nodes too. Win 7 pro x64 bit.
The only thing, that work on all computers, is deinstall all, and install 1.00.02. I will wait for stable version )))

Maybe i need to reinstall DrServer with daily build?

Hello again!
I have checked all plugins on nodes, and get the latest build from 2015-04-16.

DR rendering from workstation works good:

DR rendering via backburner doesnt work, and the task starts with long delay (5-10 min):

We really need this feature for rendering. Please!
Reinstalling will remove the license, we have 7 workstations and 21 nodes, so it hard to test. Need to work )))

Sounds urgent. Could you please attach DrLog.txt and MaxLog.txt from the Corona\DrServer\drData directory please? Is it Max 2014 and BB2014? I can´t BB-DR with that configuration either.

[Yehat]

Max2014, BB 2014.
Here it is, files from node:

I´m afraid about telling you, but after looking at the logs I recognize the exact issue I still have also. It´s in the bugtracker at the moment and mentioned in a few threads in the forum. This line

2015-04-21/15:29:52   Downloaded scene: 18,446,744,073,709 M bytes in 0 s

lets me bet that your node didn´t receive any max scene to crunch at when joining the job as a dr-slave. Same here, no solution so far, at least from me - sorry :( I wonder if it´s working for anyone using max2014/bb2014? This might be a clue.

Good Luck!

Whether it will be fixed? It is the one of the most impotant features for rendering.

I will work on it, probably next week. I am travelling this one :/
