||
This is a list of frequently asked questions, with their answers. It's by no
|
||
means an exhaustive list.
|
||
|
||
## I use a mix of different operating systems, can I still use Flamenco?
|
||
|
||
Yes, absolutely. To support multiple platforms, first configure your Manager for
|
||
its own platform (so if you run that on Linux, use Linux paths). Then you can
|
||
use [Two-way Variables][twovars] to translate those paths to the other
|
||
platforms.
|
||
|
||
Do note that Flamenco was developed on Linux, for the Linux-only [Blender
|
||
Studio][studio]. You may find issues that the developers did not run into
|
||
themselves. If you do, please [report a bug][bug].

||
## My Worker cannot find my Manager, what do I do?
|
||
|
||
First check the Manager output on the terminal, to see if it shows any messages
|
||
about "auto-discovery" or "UPnP/SSDP". Most of the time it's actually Spotify
|
||
getting in the way, so make sure to close that before you start the Manager.
|
||
|
||
If that doesn't help, you'll have to tell the Worker where it can find the
|
||
Manager. This can be done on the commandline, by running it like
|
||
`flamenco-worker -manager http://192.168.0.1:8080/` (adjust the address to your
|
||
situation) or more permanently by [editing the worker configuration
|
||
file][workercfg].

||

|
||
|
||
## What do "Error: Cached job type is old" or "job type etag does not match" mean?
|
||
|
||
This means that you have to click on the little "Refresh" icon next to the job type:
|
||
|
||
<img src="job-types-refresh.webp" width="396" height="41">
|
||
|
||
|
||
## What does "command exited abnormally with code 1" mean?
|
||
|
||
It means that the program (probably Blender) exited with an error status. Take a
|
||
look at the task log, which you can access by going to the task in Flamenco's
|
||
web interface.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## What's the difference with OpenCue?
|
||
|
||
OpenCue is aimed at a different audience than Flamenco. OpenCue is a large and
|
||
complex project, and relies on a lot of components
|
||
([source](https://www.opencue.io/docs/getting-started/)), whereas Flamenco is
|
||
made for simplicity and use in small studios or at home, running on your own
|
||
hardware.
