Problem with Network Paths
« on: March 12, 2022, 06:32:01 PM »
Hi,

I am trying out network processing but having a major issue with paths. The project is on the D drive of workstation 1, this drive is mapped as the O drive on workstation 2. No matter what I try workstation 2 always has a path error. I run the node using this command:

"C:\Program Files\Agisoft\Metashape Pro\"metashape --node --host 192.168.1.114 --root "O:\Metashape Projects\MWOW"

As soon as I start processing I get this error:

2022-03-12 15:14:29 [192.168.1.114:50713] failed #8 BuildOrthomosaic: Can't open file: The system cannot find the path specified (3): O:/Metashape Projects/MWOW/Full Site.psx

The path in the GUI of workstation 1 is D:\Metashape Projects\

Does the project have to be on a network drive for this to work?

Also, when using a network node to process, do both machines process or do I need to start a node on workstation 1?

Thanks,

Rory

I have a Synology NAS so I'll try copying the project over so the paths will be the same for all nodes.

Hello Rory,

Root path for all nodes and client GUI should point to the same directory.

Does it help, if you start the node with  --root "O:\Metashape Projects\" ?
Best regards,

Hi Alexey,

I now have workstation 2 working, but workstation 1 throws up this error:

2022-03-12 18:05:36 [192.168.1.186:63210] failed #0 BuildOrthomosaic.rectifyImages (1/100): Can't open file: The system cannot find the path specified (3): O:/Metashape/MWOW/Full Site.psx

The path is correct (it's now on the network) so not sure what is going on!

All good now, I used UNC paths for everything including opening the project. Instead of 30 hours it’s estimating 13 for the ortho generation. Thanks!

Hi, can you please show me how did you give UNC path, and how did you resolve the issue? I am having the same issue no matter what I try.
