hi,
I'm having a hard time trying to install an otls library placed on a windows network share folder …

example in houdini.env
working:
HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH=@/otls;Cmyotlpath

not working… obviously because of the backslashs:
HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH=@/otls;\\serverA\netfolder\myotlpath

And this one is working if we use “network drive” like Z: for \\serverA\netfolder:
HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH=@/otls;Zmyotlpath

So, i'm missing something for sure, how do we write network paths on the houdini.env file ?

HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH = Hotls;&

works for me…I think that you need the & at the end to let Houdini know to load up all the other otls in the default path.

I, so I found that The scan path isn't recursive… I'm right ?

And haven't found how to specify a windows network path for an otls library, although mounting a network drive works. Anybody can confirm this ?

Thanks,
Noël
