More symptoms I have noticed are

1. Premiere Pro CC 2018 also wont play/preview when I press Space bar
2. Online Videos aren’t playing on any Web browser
3. Installed After effects CS6- Preview works just fine- no issues at all
4. After effects CC 2018 preview issue still persists

What could be causing all this? Is it to do with the Ram upgrade on this computer? or the video card? or is it just an Adobe CC issue?

any help is much appreciated

Thanks

Hey Darby,

Well one of the many things I tried was a fresh install of C4d R15 on all three machines. After installation I also updated the application online.

The desktop is running C4D studio and the Laptop(intended server) is running C4D broadcast- Could this be a problem?

This is so strange 🙁

Hey Brian! Thanks- I’m sorry I’m not sure what you mean-

This is what i tried though

On the Computer that I intend to use as server- I double clicked (Left Click)on the tab with the two green dots- Nothing happens

When I right click on the two green dots- a small preferences tab opens- when I click on it- it opens the Details of the Server Computer as seen in Edit>Prefrences>Render>Team render- where the token password and other details are displayed.

The client computer is visible in the ‘Team render machines’ Window but still has the status : ‘Online, Unverified, Shared, No answer’

Since i’ve been having problems with these two laptops- i disconnected the Client laptop from the Server laptop and have connected a Desktop Machine running Cinema 4D studio R15 to the server laptop instead. Both Server laptop and desktop are on wired network with each other through the belkin internet router and have full access for sharing files (as with the two laptops earlier). Both desktop and laptop have Windows Firewall for Home network turned off.
The Desktop is running Windows 7 professional and the Laptop is on Windows 8.

However after all this- The server laptop’s ‘team Render machines’ Window in Cinema 4d lists the Desktop computer by it’s name (Domain.local)- but the status and problem is the exact same as with the earlier client laptop: Online, Unverified, Shared, No Answer

When i try to verify with the password i have set (12345)- the status changes to ‘verifying’ for a while and the reverts back to ‘Online, Unverified, Shared, No Answer’.

I’ve freshly installed iTunes on Both Server laptop and Desktop in order to have the latest version of bonjure.

What am i doing wrong here? Its driving me nuts!

Oh I also did a fresh install of iTunes to have Bonjour updated and working.

Hey Brian,

Yes there is a light to the Left and the shadow casting was turned to none.And i’ve been struggling! Silly me- I’m sorry i’m a complete newbie to cinema 4d

Once i turned on the shadow on the light- i got the shadow of the character along with the shadow of the Plane.
The composting tag you suggested worked perfect and i turned of the option ‘Seen by AO’ and boom I have only the shadow of the character as intended!

Thanks brian!

Cheers
