HDR Light studio connection

[TheRealKFC]

We are having a weird interaction with HDR Light Studio and Corona where any changes to the HDR will cause the IR to turn yellow or not update and require a restart of the IR for updates.  Materials will also occasionally disappear when adjusting, moving or adding lights.

Hi, are you still having this issue?

[TheRealKFC]

Yeah, it's still an issue.

Do you have a problematic scene we can look at? https://corona-renderer.com/upload

I'd like to resurrect this issue as I haven't found a viable solution as of yet.

I used to get it to work at least on first try when I setup the prebuilt hook, then it would get wonky and yellow when I did adjustments thereafter. Now it just plain doesn't work--it seems to recognize changes within the HDR Light Studio environment, but updates in IR show no actual realtime changes in lighting.

Also, this didn't seem to affect it before, but I'd like to note there is no way to select Corona as renderer in HDR dropdown list.

Any solutions/workarounds would be appreciated!

Corona 2 build May 28, 2018
HDR Light Studio Carbon (Drop 2) build: 5.6.0.2018.0504

Update: Corona works well with HDR Light Studio on first interaction within C4D--IR updates work as expected and lighting is consistent with experiences in the past when it's working well. Seems the problem arises after initial setup when HDRLS is re-opened to tweak lighting--I either get a yellow cast of light in IR where I have to close and re-open IR for any updates to lighting changes or IR updates when changes are made but seems to use the temp HDR file in memory, so no actual lighting changes are rendered .

Any clues on how to fix this? I am having the same problem.  Yesterday setup a scene and it worked perfectly. Going in to edit the scene and updates are not showing up. I wonder if there is a special order one needs to use.  I love both programs but am having trouble getting them to work together.
