Hi

I am trying to use your script. It would be so good if I could get it to work.

I made the program Nuke Backburner run ion admin mode

When I use it I get the following error

Any ideas?

I am using Backburner 2012.1 and nuke 6.3v8. Which version of Backburner are you using?

Hi Damon!
well... has some strange things in your console command...
for example...
Job description : Calling: C:Program FilesNuke6.3v8Nuke6.3.exe
I don't know why don't have "/" in your program calling...
supposed to be like:
Calling: C:Program FilesNuke6.3v8Nuke6.3.exe
Do you have select Nuke6.3.exe correctly using the "Find Nuke..." button?

Other thing... in parameters your project appear "J:TEST2.nk" right?
You have to remember... all the network servers have to access the same project!
More correctly to be like this:
"NetworkMachineNameYourProject.nk"

See if this works!

All Rigth!! The post remove all the "/" hehe! Is not wrong with your program calling... Forget that!

Probable you have to check if All The Server have access to your Nuke Project!
Like: NetworkMachineName > YourProject.nk

Hi Diogo

I think the problem is that there is no communication with the manager. I am using the Managers computer ip address and the correct submask

All my paths are now UNC network paths

I'm sorry the delay... I don't received emails about this reply... sorry
So... do you solved the problem? everything works?

Damon O'Connell said:

...
Yes your script works!

I had a couple of problems.

Bacburner 2013 install fixed the cmdjob not communicating.

Then there was the Flexlm license issues.

I have a request.

Is it possible to put in a -i command into the script. It would be good if you had an option to get the interactive nuke license rendering as well.

Hi Diogo,

Awesome script!!! After struggling with several render managers for simple nuke work on a short film we settled on this script and backburner because it's free, relatively simple and multiplatform (backburner is availble on win/osx/linux).
I did get your submitter v1.1 working on mac osx with a few modifications to the code and backburner 2012. I assume it would also work with Linux since the path structure is very similar!
It is high time there was a very simple free local render queue manager for nuke and this might be the ticket.

I could send you this adapted code if you like, maybe it would be possible to make it completely cross-platform.

Hi! Patrick
Thnks... and yes... I've been looking... and is True!... the path structure is very similar ... I don't have much knowledge in xcode
I just did little things... but I'll try...
could take awhile... but I just have to adapt this code.
I appreciate it if you send me your adapted code!

Thanks
