hey,
want to render in a renderfarm with irush. the shellrenderer starts and writes and all seems okay. But on each maschine i get the error if i have footage in my workspace:
two different errors, if the footage is linked like: "y:testtest.mov" i got : "cant find footage"
if the footage is linked like: "\iodellytesttest.mov" i got: "error loading footage"

[isotron]"if the footage is linked like: "\iodellytesttest.mov" i got: "error loading footage"
all maschine can acess y: or \iodelly"
i learned that i need to give read/write rights to every single folder where footage is located or should be stored. so, have a look if your folder "..test.."
have appropriate rights.

but only some.... will see what is different at these maschines who didnt find the footage......

how many machiens do you run for net-rendering?
there's this 10 machien limit from win xp pro above that you'd need a win server ...
but not quite sure about it - i'm not really into this kind of stuff.

have up to 30 maschines, works without a server.
found the problem. all source footage in the footage-control tab need a network directory like //server/y/test.mov
and the shellrenderer only work fine with a CWS file that has a standard dos syntax, only small letters without special charakters, the same to the directory where the cws file is placed.....
i think the shellrenderer never be updated since Combustion 1 :/
