Redline - Unable to open Red Rocket: 0 for decode - Error: 2 (SOLVED)

[Alex Krugel]

REDline Build 17.26547 Mac 64bit Public Release
Using R3DSDK version 4.5 build 21A02 dated 20130130

Calling redline results in the following showing up in the terminal…

Unable to open Red Rocket: 0 for decode - Error: 2
Rocket: 0 - unable to initialize resource

Though REDline continues to transcode and produce as normal. So it seems I could ignore this error. But solved it anyways.

I had RED Player open and viewing some footage. So I closed RED Player and the error goes away. Probably applies to having REDCine-X Pro open too.

The REDRocket card can only be used by one app at a time.

If you open RCX, RED Player, or any other app requesting the ROCKET (Adobe, Resolve), it won't be accelerated.

YOu need to free the rocket to be able to use it in another app...

Thanks for the clarification Mikael.
