ParaView 5.12.0: saving MP4 animation on Windows client fails when connected to Linux server
Originally reported here.
- Start 5.12.0 pvserver on a Linux machine. MPI doesn't matter.
- Start 5.12.0 client on a Windows machine. Connect to the server started in the first step.
- Sources -> Time Source
- File -> Save Animation... Choose a location on the client machine and save as an MP4 file. Click OK.
- Use default settings for the MP4 animation.
You'll see error messages like those below:
The problem is that there is no MP4 writer on the server side, and the server manager on the client side is trying to instantiate one.
