Slave not working in batch mode

Hi there,

Slave is not working in batch mode, even using -asl 1. Works just in Maya, not in command prompt batch.
And sometimes using other renderer it occupy slave... for nothing. So using this plug in production ... is almost useless.
This is not a new issue unfortunately.

Hi Nedan,

It sounds like one of your workstation has Network render enabled.
If there is Maya/Octane Standalone and the Command line render running concurrently then, make sure to uncheck the "Enable Network rendering" from settings.
In the next 3.07 features, we would be able to assign IP addresses to net render daemons directly so this could be handy.

Let me know if this solves the issue.
