Hi everyone, I hope you are doing good.
We are using the latest version of the deadline client and repository.
One of our artist is having trouble submitting any type of jobs to deadline using c4d 2023.2.0 with Octane 2022.1.1- R5 .
Everytime they press on submit nothing happens. I dug around the c4d console logs and found these two lines that seem to be giving away the info that i’m looking for :
warningsFromTakes, errorsFromTakes = self.checkOctaneSettingsForTakes( takesToRender, scene )
TypeError:sequence item 0: expected str instance, c4d.modules.takesystem.BaseTake found
unfortunately as I am not a programmer, I’m having a hard time making sense of this; it looks like the take that they select (the artist told me that they choose the option -marked) give the wrong value ?
I will gladly provide the full logs if needed.
We have tried uninstalling the submitter, reinstalling with no luck.
Would really appreciate any help on this, don’t hesitate if I’m missing any info,
or if you need more from me.
Thank you !
Could I get the full log you’ve found those two lines in?
It looks like we’re giving a BaseTake object to some thing that’s expecting a string of characters. Likely there was some implicit conversion we were unwittingly benefiting from that’s stopped working in Python 3.10.
The full log should help narrow down where we’re passing in the wrong data.

Same issue happened on one of our machines and now is slowly spreading across all of our machines.

Sorry I had these in my drafts for the longest, I also had to delete the repo’s address in the logs ;
Hi Justin, thanks a lot for answering here’s the full log.
Thank you !

@Tim_Ellis1 did you end up finding a solution to your problem ?
Have a great day guys
Attached is a copy of SubmitC4DToDeadline.py that forces the framerate to be an integer when calculating the start and end frames.
All we have done is force the variable to an integer like this:
startFrame = renderData.GetTime( c4d.RDATA_FRAMEFROM ).GetFrame(int(framesPerSecond) )#jusbla casting fps to int
Please do make a backup of the existing C:\DeadlineRepository10/submission/Cinema4D/Main\SubmitC4DToDeadline.py file before you use this one.
