We're trying to view in progress frames via imf_disp and keep getting the following error
"Error: Could not connect to the socket specified in the stubfile"
We don't have any firewalls on and this app used to work before we upgraded to 2011 so not sure what's changed. Anyone know what socket it's using?

It's been a while since I used Mental Ray but I just stumbled into this. Can anyone explain the reasoning behind the decision to turn this feature off by default?
If it doesn't cause some kind of instability can we please get it back on by default!
Thanks,
DAN

It is on -- you need to turn it off. :)
>From the help:
MI_ENABLE_PIPE_MODE
Tells mental ray not to open any TCP/IP sockets. This prevents problems with firewalls when running Softimage.
By default this is set but you may need to unset it, for example, to use imf_disp to show renders in progress.

Try unsetting the environment variable:
set MI_ENABLE_PIPE_MODE=
in setenv.bat

OK, pedantry aside, can we make it so it just works. Like it used to. :)

The main reason I posted was to explain the reasoning behind the decision, i.e., problems with firewalls. The pedantry was just a bonus.
