When I activated the GPU, the node was disabled. That's why I get only one part of the image.
It's now working great, even with manual load balancing.
Thanks a lot for your addon, That was very annoying to switch from laptop to desktop, and I can now use 3 computers to accelerate my renders. I will speak about crowd-render to the community, it's awesome :)
I've got the same problem with blender 2.81a and the addon that I downloaded today. It seems that the rendered part from my computer is not sent back to the main instance.
I needed to force the load-balancing method to make the remote instance more important (it's the GPU instance), I didn't try to use automatic balancing as the addon want to make my local blender instance too important (and it takes too long time to render)
Also, if I leave the automatic LB, I see weird value:
1 + 0.5 = 1.5 => if i want to setup manually, I can't have sum above 1.0. Is it normal to have "automatic" values that way ?
I am also having this same issue. Blender reports 100%, but sections of the frame are still missing and it does not move to the next set of frames in an animation.
Hi Mana, thanks for posting, happy to help, you can upload a video here. The absolute best way to solve this would be to see if you can record a screen capture of this happening and then post it here. That way we can observe what you did and troubleshoot it for you.
The key thing here is details, what you've posted certainly gives us an idea, but we've no way to reproduce the exact same settings you had, the blend file or your operating systems, network configuration etc.
In software, we can almost always fix a problem if we can get the same thing to happen on our systems. With what you've posted, you certainly have our sympathy and attention (and we're 100% keen to help), but we can't do anything to help without knowing how to get the same problem to happen here!
I hope this isn't going to be too much of a burden to ask you for the screen capture. Believe us, its the best way ;)
OK... my bad...

Anyway, thanks a lot for your work !

Thanks ill re render it and post a video.
