Hi,
Here one probleme that i have some issus going trough deadline.
I got a rib file ready, i send it troug deadline, and i got this error
Exception during render: An error occurred in RenderTasks(): ERROR D2004: failed to open display driver ‘exr’ (display driver returned ‘4’)
à Deadline.Plugins.ScriptPlugin.RenderTasks(String taskId, Int32 startFrame, Int32 endFrame, String& outMessage)
0: STDOUT: 3DL ERROR D2004: failed to open display driver ‘exr’ (display driver returned ‘4’)
0: WARNING: Another error occurred in regex function: ERROR D2094: failed to open display driver ‘exr’ (display driver returned with a null handle)
But when i double clic my rib, trough remote desktop on the node, i got 3delight opening up and rendering the rib with no problem
Thanks,
Fred
We just realise, the problem seem to apper only when we subdivide our mesh, if that can help any of you.
Can you post the full error report from the job that produced this error? You can find it by right-clicking on the job in the Monitor and selecting Job Reports -> View Error Reports. This way we can see the command line arguments, and the full render log to help put the error in better context.
Thanks!

Thanks! On the machine that you are trying to render on, can you open a command prompt and run this command to see if it works:
"C:\Program Files\3Delight\bin\renderdl.exe" -progress -stats3 "//fx-nas-01/vfx/RENDER/IA/SHOTS/010/0001/lts/rib/cMammoth_grey/cutout/IA_010_0001_lts_cutout.0105.rib"
If it does, can you let us know if Deadline is running as a service or not? I’m asking because after the initial ‘exr’ error, there are a bunch of errors about assets that can’t be found on K: or R:. If Deadline is running as a service, it could be these paths haven’t been mounted in its “service environment”. That would also explains why it works when you render it manually but not through Deadline.
Cheers,
Yes it did work !, and deadline is also a service.
Good to know that Deadline is running as a service, and based on the log, it looks like the mapped drives are mounted successfully, so we can probably rule that out.
I wonder if the Windows “service environment” that the slave runs in is causing problems with the display driver. It’s a separate environment from the desktop with no proper “display” access, and I’ve seen it cause issues when doing things like hardware/gpu rendering.
Can you set up one of your Deadline slaves to have Deadline installed as a normal application to see if it can render these rib files? If it can, then we know the problem is directly related to rendering the rib files in the limited “service environment”.
Cheers,
I now have this

If i remove the subdivision to my render it does remove the eerror.
FYI, this isn’t the first time i see that error. I’ve been strugelling with it the whole week
Currently, our RIB plugin is set to fail on any ERROR message. Would you consider this error a fatal error message, or would this be an error you would want Deadline to avoid?
As a simple test, you could go to \your\repository\plugins\RIB and open RIB.py in a text editor. Comment out the following line by placing a # in front of it:
self.AddStdoutHandler( r"ERROR.*|error.*|RIB error.*|.*Unable to find shader.*|.*Unable to find out device.*", self.HandleError )
Save the file, and submit the job again. Now Deadline won’t fail the job on any stdout lines, so you can see if the render will finish properly or not. If it finishes properly, then we know that Deadline was detecting a false positive here, and we can go from there.
Cheers,
THis is great thanks.
You see, this is only a warning. I got a mesh with triangle (a water simulation) and the warning were normal 
Thanks again !
Fred
Could it be possible to use that methode but only to bypass certain error ? Not all of them
Thks
Fred
You could add more specific stdout handlers to catch specific error messages. Let’s say you only wanted to catch that previous ERROR message as an error, you could use this:
self.AddStdoutHandler( r"ERROR P1001: catmull-clark subdivision mesh.*", self.HandleError )
Any other ERROR messages would be let through because they wouldn’t match the stdout handler above. You can then add more handlers that match different errors, but call the same handler function:
self.AddStdoutHandler( r"ERROR P1001: catmull-clark subdivision mesh.*", self.HandleError )
self.AddStdoutHandler( r"ERROR P1234: another error.*", self.HandleError )
self.AddStdoutHandler( r"ERROR P9876: blah blah blah.*", self.HandleError )
Hope that helps!
