File not found - rr adds zeros to the file name?

[fabrice]

Hi,

I'm submitting an XML via Submitter. The Submitter accepts it and it all looks OK in Control (file paths etc..).
But the server returns a file not found error at first check. Logs shows it is looking for a file called:
CAKE_SC010_SH0000001.xfl not found.(1);;
The correct file is called CAKE_SC010_SH10.xfl.

It is very strange, as I use a similar process to do other submissions on the exact same file names and never had this trouble. The xml looks similar to others that work fine.

Cheers,
F.

If I change <SeqEnd>110</SeqEnd> to <SeqEnd>1</SeqEnd>, the server finds the scene correctly and renders. Obviously I want the frames to be checked etc so this is not great.

I don't understand what possibly could make the server add zeros to a file name...

Hi
So this file is the scene file? And I assume it is a sequence of files?

Do you submit via rrSubmitterconsole?

Has the render config sceneIsMultiFrame= 1 set?

Does it work if you load a file of the sequence into the rrSubmitter?

Please try to use <FN1> instead of the frame number. (Note: you have to change <> with the html/xml code of that letter &lt; and &gt;).

I cannot try to repro right now as I am in Vancouver for Siggraph.

Hi,

this actually is a single scene file rendering multiple PNGs, but it looks like rr believes it is part of a sequence.
Submitter and Submitter console give the same results.
I notice that when I submit a single frame, rr finds the file OK but in rr Control I see it adds <FN3> at the end of the scene name for some reason.
When I submit multiple frames, the scene name in rr looks correct but then rr adds 0s at the end and of course cannot find it.

I guess there is something wrong with my XML or job config but no clue what.

Cheers,
F.

This is sorted. Somehow I managed to copy the wrong CFG. It had a sceneIsMultiFrame= 1 in there...
Thanks for pointing me in this direction.
