This might be moot in beta7 with all the upcoming python environment changes, but we have some errors currently on beta4 when starting a task image viewer.
Its a simple batch file that runs a python script sets up the show environment, appropriate LUTs and framecycler settings, and then launches framecycler. It uses pyqt internally.
When running the command from a command prompt, it works. When running it through deadline’s viewer option in the task pane, i get this (stuff in green is output from our sitecustomize script that adds the qt/pyqt and sitepackages folders for this python):

It seems to be due to the fact its running from the deadline bin folder. If its outside of that, it does not seem to have a problem… Is that expected? For now i have put a "Cd " in front of the command.
