Win7 issue discussion about blenderrendercontroller HOT 37 CLOSED

I have just noticed that Blender crashes when the process is called even without any arguments. So the problem is with calling Blender process itself.

from blenderrendercontroller.

Found another problem, I called BRC by the console to test if rendering would still work.

It did render chunks and mixdown like it should, but when came the time to join them, it got stuck on a loop where it the "Please select FFmpeg path" message popping up every few seconds.

Once again, it seems it got messed up when calling ffmpeg to join them.

(Using VirtualBox and Win7pro 32bit)

from blenderrendercontroller.

have you tried debugging in Win7?

from blenderrendercontroller.

there seems to be a pattern here: I have problems calling ffmpeg and you have a problem calling blender..

maybe it's some oddity about starting processes in Win7?

from blenderrendercontroller.

are you trying that on 64-bit or 32-bit Win7?

from blenderrendercontroller.

It may be some security issue... calling notepad.exe works.

from blenderrendercontroller.

I'm using Win7pro 32bit

from blenderrendercontroller.

Me too... still cant figure it out :-/

from blenderrendercontroller.

figured out my FFmpeg problem... I was using the 64bit FFmpeg on my 32bit system, whoops 🙄

So launching BRC from CMD does work, Blender never crashed in my tests, that's probably an issue in your end.

still not sure about the Python issue... I installed VS on my VM and that doesn't show during debugging

from blenderrendercontroller.

I tweaked the error detection when reading .blend info. Now it will only halt the operation and show a error if the get info process fails (StandardOutput = null). So Errors that don't interfere w/ that (like those plugin errors I've got) won't stop it.

Sadly, still have no idea what causes that Win7 problem found it 😄

Have you tried asking around stackoverflow.com or some site like that?

from blenderrendercontroller.

IT'S IS A UAC SECURITY PROBLEM, turning off UAC makes it all work.

from blenderrendercontroller.

Yep, but running the app as an Administrator does not make any change. Do you have any idea?

from blenderrendercontroller.

I think the issue is the EXTERNAL processes we call (to get the .blend info for instance) don't get the necessary privilegies.

I guess due to some Win7 issue they don't execute using the privilegies from the caller or the user, so even running as administrador won't work.

from blenderrendercontroller.

I have tried to disable UAC in Win7 by setting that slider to "Never notify" and it still doesn't work... Are you sure that this made a change?

from blenderrendercontroller.

Crap, I though I got it working, but i tested again and it didn't 💀 💀

Still, I believe the most likely cause is UAC.

from blenderrendercontroller.

I made a .bat file to test get_project_info.py outside the program. It works in Windows 10, but only works in Windows 7 by running as administrator.

from blenderrendercontroller.

runWin7.zip
Maybe we could add this batch file to release zip until we figure it out?

from blenderrendercontroller.

yea, for now that's the best thing to do. Later we can figure out a better way to make these calls work.

from blenderrendercontroller.

I will try to figure it out tommorow when I meet my friend - an excellent programmer :)

from blenderrendercontroller.

for me it not working
win 7 x64
when run just BRC

when run just your runWin7.zip

from blenderrendercontroller.

@lpslp Can you send the full message from the runWin7 error? Translated if possible?

from blenderrendercontroller.

@lpslp thank you, btw is there a log.txt in the exe folder? If so send it too.

from blenderrendercontroller.

btw is there a log.txt in the exe folder

no. program just freeze after press "close"

from blenderrendercontroller.

@lpslp could you try to run this .bat? Post the results here

getInfoTest.zip

place the bat in the scripts folder and run like this in CMD:

getInfoTest.bat "path/to/Blender.exe" "path/to/.blend"

from blenderrendercontroller.

p.s. i probably know what you do say about my log but - take in mind - all my projects works and rendering inside blender it self - fine

thank you, have you tried setting the output of your project to a folder?

Try E:\project instead of the root E:\

from blenderrendercontroller.

Hello,
the tool remains frozen in this way:

from blenderrendercontroller.

tried change path to folder - same - freeze.
And if it matter - for me BRE freeze on same stage as Baldassarre indicate

from blenderrendercontroller.

@lpslp @Baldassarre I assume you guys are using the release version? Or have anyone tried compiling from the latest code?

I've made a release of our latest code, see if the freeze @Baldassarre showed still persists.

ver. 0.8.2-RC

from blenderrendercontroller.

we go here
https://github.com/RedRaptor93/BlenderRenderController
we see
"Latest release HERE" and where we appear?
here
https://github.com/jendabek/BlenderRenderController/releases/tag/0.8.0

but 0.8.2 do same - freeze

and appear new windows with new error :)

from blenderrendercontroller.

Same thing...

from blenderrendercontroller.

me and @jendabek have been made alot of progress in the past month, guess he forgot to update the release 🙄

that new error message means that get_project_info script failed to get info from the project, we're still not sure why that happends in Win7

does that happen when using runWin7.bat ?

from blenderrendercontroller.

Great! It seems to work now!
I come back when it finishes and I say you if it's ok :)
Thanks

from blenderrendercontroller.

It works well (I hope for lpslp too), thanks beautiful job!

from blenderrendercontroller.

So the running the program via runWin7.bat helped?
Sorry for the late replay, I have to work on other project too.

from blenderrendercontroller.

Yes, it helped running the program via runWin7.bat.
