Backburner problems, need help please

[danb4026]

I have a workstation and 4 render nodes. They render fine with Vray DR, but with backburner I am having major issues.

 

All of my server machines successfully register with the manager. All servers say "Registratrion to ***..**.*.* accepted" in theire Backburner Server windows.

 

In the manager on the host machine I set it to use all of my machines and then I submit.

 

The manager then says that it is "sending instructions for job "xyz" to "render node x". But it only sends it to that one render node, none of the others.

 

Also, no render frame buffer comes up. So I see nothing. I have the "render frame buffer" checked in the Manager, but still nothing. Could this be because I use the Vray Frame Buffer?

 

What am I doing wrong?

Do you still have distributed rendering on when you send submit the scene to backburner? If so then turn it off and the rest of your machines should get picked up by backburner.

and if you are running backburner server as a service there will be no rendered frame window.
