Flamenco Add-on / Render farm

Support Technical Support
1

Hello,

I’m unable to activate this add-on which is a render farm add-on. However, everyone else on my team is able to get it running, just not me.

We all have the same system (same hardware and OS). I’ve tried it on all of the 4+ versions, and I’m using the portable version (same with others on my team). Here is the error I’m getting. What am I missing here?

Again, nobody else is running into this issue. Looks like there’s something in the script I need to modify, something that’s not initializing? But, I don’t why I would need to.

Add-on not loaded: “flamenco”, cause: cannot import name ‘operators’ from partially initialized module ‘flamenco’ (most likely due to a circular import) (C:**\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\4.2\scripts\addons\flamenco_init_.py)

To me that almost sounds like you have multiple versions of it floating around in various folders on your system and it’s conflicting with itself.

Maybe try a deep search all over windows/blender install/user folders and remove every trace of flamenco you can find and then just install it once.

If its a addon installation, the folder location -and- script name are off.
It should at least be in it;s own folder, and called __init__.py

But you probably have a duplicate as @thetony20 suggested, or the install went wrong somehow. Especially as the others have a working version.

This is something I’m not clear on. Are you all using -the same version on a central location-? Or everybody has it’s own portable version?

If the first, maybe you have a Flamingo install in the portable install folders, and one in your local Preferences files on C:\

@thetony20 - Removed every trace, and also in the Roaming folder. Issue still persists. :frowning: I appreciate the suggestion though.

@RobWu - Can you elaborate on the script name/location? The whole structure of the add-on wasn’t modified. It is as such…

manager
wheels
_init_.py

Are you saying the script should also be within a folder?

Apologies, I wasn’t too clear on that. Not centralized. Everyone has their own copy on their own machine (some have portable, others are installed).

One last thing. I tried installing the addon on my home system (Windows), and it’s giving the exact same message.

I assume you are using the latest Flamenco 3.6 stable release and the most current Blender 4.2 LTS release?

Call off the hounds. It finally worked.

I redownloaded the Blender add-on from the manager queue, which contained a dozen missing components and folders. I have no idea why those were missing to begin with.

Thanks for everyone’s help!
