Hi

I downloaded the latest verge3d release the other day and after installing, now the Sneak Peak or App Manager do not start with a “Site cannot be reached” error in the browser.

http://localhost:8668/player/player.html?load=preview/sneak_peek.gltf
localhost refused to connect.

I tried the manual start of the server using \verge3d\manager\pywin\python.exe manager\server.py but there is no \pywin folder so that could be it unless that is a depreciated command?

Any ideas how to get it back up and running?
Thanks

I downloaded the 2.14.0 blender zip again and it is 6MB larger than the previous download, after extracting that it is working again.

There is still no \pywin folder though.

Hi,

Are there any errors displayed in Blender Terminal?

That is Max-only method. For Blender version, in order to start the App Manager in standalone mode, you should install Python first (be sure to enable the checkbox Add Python to PATH).
Then, launch Windows Terminal and type:

cd verge3d (or whatever path you installed Verge in)

python manager\server.py

I guess it was a broken archive.

I’m seeing a similar issue.

I’m using Blender on a Mac. When I click App Manager a browser window opens, but just hangs. No errors in the console or network activity, it just isn’t getting a response from the server.

I tried running the manager from the command line, but just get:

`
verge3d_blender % python3 manager/server.py BLENDER
Starting App Manager server (port 8668, package BLENDER)
`

But the same result. Just a hanging browser, but no errors or logs in the terminal either.

I had verge3d version 3.1.1 on my system when this started. I tried downloaded the latest, 3.4.0, but got the same results.

Verge3d has worked perfectly for me before. So I’m assuming it’s something I’ve done to my system. But don’t have the first clue as to where to start debugging.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Wouldn’t you know it. I bang my head against a wall for half an hour, ask the question here, and then it starts working.
