Maya Service Block - Server Type "Service" Issues 2025年4月17日15:30

Hey all! I am trying to get the maya service block example file working, but am having trouble getting it to work properly.

I created a maya service, pointing to the mayapy.exe file, using the default arguments. No errors come up in pdg, however the maya file never opens, it just toils endlessly.

Does anyone have a fix for this? I also noticed that the status of the mayascript worker never changes to active.

If anyone has some insight, I'd love to get this up and running! I have been using the deprecated shared server but I'd like to switch over to this newer service server type.

I am on Houdini version 20.5.445, and Maya 2022, using the mayapipeline.hip file that ships with houdini
