  • PostRender script doesn't work with DR

    We have set up our renders so they start a task when the render ends through a postRender script, and this worked fine for years, but for some reason this task stopped executing since the last month.

    It seems that the only way to get the postRender script to execute again is disabling DR. If I send the job to Backbuner so the rendering machine does not use any DR node it works fine, if I add any number of machines to the render machine DR list (in vray_dr.cfg) the postRender script stops executing on render end.

    When the post render script is executed correctly the end of the vraylog.log file looks like this:

    Code:
      ...

    It's like the process is stopped before finishing correctly ...

    Anybody has a clue of where it could be the problem?

        Sorry for not updating the thread, we already contacted support and got it sorted.

        It turns out that installing the latest version of of VRay 1.5 (SP6) the script worked again. Don't really know why, as I did not see any note about issue in SP5 or SP6 update notices, but it does work now. Maybe some configuration got messed and reinstalling VRay on all the machines in our studio did sort it ...
