Uploading Quicktimes to Shotgun from Deadline

Deadline
1

Good afternoon and Happy New Year!
Not sure if this is a Deadline or Shotgun issue so I’m trying to attack this issue from both angles. Ticket to SG has been submitted but wondering if anyone else out there has encountered or experienced this with project management configurations.
We have some internal modules and scripts written, that are using our Deadline Render Farm to upload rendered quicktimes to our Shotgun Project/instances. It seems to work for the most part, but only specifically one one Render Node/Slave now as of today. See below Job reports.

Good report:

That’s the bit that seems to jump out. Every other node besides render01 appear to have the same ssl certificate validation error. All nodes more or less have consistent versions of Python installed, Python 2.7.13 and or .14. I cant seem to figure out which one of these is not like the other. If anyone out there in the community has any ideas, I would love to hear at this point as I am waiting to see what Autodesk has to say. Thanks in advance!

Hi Daniel,

I believe you want to be running 2.7.14, there was a change to the openssl lib that is used on windows in this version.
I suspect that might be your issue.

I know we hit this before in the past, we chose the hacky solution , as our shotgun server is internal (locally hosted) and patched the shotgun.py file for the api version we use, as we have a mix of applications that use older versions of python 2.7.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
Kym

Kym,

Interesting suspicions and super helpful! I was thinking along the same lines hence me mentioning specific python versions. Although, I just double checked and realized render01, the slave we are able to successfully upload quicktimes with, is actually on Python 2.7.13.
Render07, which has the ssl error actually has python 2.7.14. So long story short I am seeing the same SSL error on Render Slaves with both 2.7.13 and 2.7.14 so no Im even more perplexed. Havnt changed anything here as we just got back from the holiday more or less. I have a ticket with Shotgun opened as well so waiting to see what they have to say on the matter. Thanks Kym appreciate your time.

For anyone who may be wondering, here is the fix.

Some interesting notes in the Shotgun discussion about how Deadline 10 ships with its own shotgun API?
“Deadine 10.0 is distributing its own shotgun_api3 (3.0.35) in DeadlineRepository10\pythonsync\pythonsync.zip which also gets copied to the local render node under C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Deadline10\bin\pythonsync”

In my case I did not have to do this. I went with the preferred method. The Powershell instructions did not work. However I manually imported the new CA into a slaves trusted root cert authority on Windows and after the node was able to upload to our SG instance without any issues. Merely posting here for the Deadline folks to be aware, and for anyone else who may come around this issue. Thanks!

Hey Daniel,
that page seems to have been moved/deleted?

Any ideas?

mattrico,

Indeed wow Autodesk shotgun moved or deleted that page. Which is sad cause there was some good info in the comments.
The post Mortem can be found here:

And here is the thread on their Google Group.

Long story short your client machines need to the new CA (certificate authority) from AWS.
I ended up writing a batch script.

Hey all!

I had this problem last year with our Windows render machines, but it’s now coming up with a Mac one that I’m trying to set up. On Windows my fix was just to manually install the certificate, but I’ve tried to do that on the mac and it doesn’t seem to be working for me. (I’m less familiar with Mac so it’s possible I’ve made a mistake with some step of the process)

I basically opened Keychain Access, added the cert file and then followed this process to make it trusted.

Open “Keychain Access.app”, change “Keychains” (upper left pane) to “System”, go to category “Certificates” (bottom left pane), and find your cert in the right pane. Double click to open the cert and expand the “Trust” section (by clicking on the grey triangle).

Now you can change the "When using this certificate: " setting to “Always Trust”.

But even after doing that, nothing has changed. Is there something I need to do in another environment? Any other suggestions for things to check or do?

I worked this out in a ticket, but for anyone who finds this:

I had to go to the pythonsync folder in the repository. There’s a Python library zipfile there. I opened that up, updated shotgun_api3 and then zipped it back up to replace what’s there. After that I restarted all the Deadline programs and it worked. :+1:

Not sure you’ll see this Gary, but could explain what you updated from within the shotgun_api3 folder in Python library zip file?

Thanks!
