This button can be enabled in the add-on preferences and and then be
available on the Flamenco Render panel. Pressing the button will
silently close Blender after the job has been submitted to Flamenco (for
example to click, walk away, and free up memory for when the same
machine is part of the render farm).
Flamenco Server changed from expecting a fixed number of sample chunks to
a compile-time determined number of nonuniform chunks. The artist can now
influence the size of each render task by setting a maximum number of
samples per render task.
Requires that the file is configured for rendering to Matroska video
files.
Audio is only extracted when there is an audio codec configured. This is
a bit arbitrary, but it's at least a way to tell whether the artist is
considering that there is audio of any relevance in the current blend
file.
These are all needed to use FFmpeg on the worker to render a video from
rendered image sequences.
- fps: float, the scene FPS
- images_or_video: either 'images' or 'video', depending on what's being
output by Blender. We don't support using FFmpeg to join chunked videos
yet.
- output_file_extension: string like '.png' or '.exr', only set when
outputting images (since doing this for video requires a lookup table and
isn't even being used at the moment).
Blender 2.78c is shipped with a version of the io_blend_utils module that
doesn't have a `pythonpath()` function yet, and that's bundled with an
older version of BAM. To work around this, we ship BAM as wheel, and detect
whether this version is needed to run.
As an added bonus, Blender 2.78c can now also use the file exclude filter
for Flamenco. The `bam_supports_exclude_option()` function is thus no
longer necessary.
