Also gave it a try on a W11 machine with a 4090 and still the same.

I've been trying to train my first gsplat in Houdini from a render to no avail, it always gets stuck at this step without apparent progress, I can see the single core that is working at maximum capacity but yesterday I left the machine all night with this and when I came back it was in the same place.

Only on one of the tries I had the console output the message "Dataset not found: /path/to/file/images.txt"

I tried to debug it but couldn't find any clue as to why the file didn't get generated.

Also tried to ran the test on two different Linux machines, tried the daily and production built with both py3.11 and py3.13.
One with a 3090 and another one with a 5080.

Here is the test scene in case you guys want to give it a check
