Hi, being a newbie, trying to " render to disc", I hit , "render to disc", and my Mplay starts to render, why is this ? I have my usdrender _rop-1 set to XPU render engine, karma render settings set to XPU, and after several try's after hitting the render button I still get the Mplay window, can someone pls explain the possible reasons for this?, thank you, Craig

What is your image path set to? If it's set to ip or mp, it will render to MPlay.

thank you for your response-I seem to find many variations in different forums; this time I used ; $HOME/desktop/skull_cloth.exr. I was able to open my image in PS,layers intact as an exr file, no cryptomatte layers though. In the arrow next to the "Out Picture" , only options are field, are mplay or sequence of options. Can you please suggest better options to set my image path please? I sometimes save to desktop, easier to find, but I can also save were my hip file lives, thank you

also sorry for my ignorance, what is ip?, thx
