Hi! I've recently updated external comfyui and swarm and all previews on txt2img stopped working, I see only blurred model cover. I can see that comfyui now for its own previews sends blobs with jpeg for each step(I believe it used to be via sockets before). But I don't see those previews send to swarm. I've tried changing preview method in comfy settings but it didn't work. Can you please help me to see previews in swarm again!

define "external"?

#

make sure you've set it as a ComfyUI Self-Starting not a comfy api by url

I believe I'm exactly using comfy api by url: I'm starting comfyui first then starting swarm in separate terminal. I've installed them separately and copied swarm custom nodes into comfy.

#

I mean I've been using it this way for a year.

yeah no that's unsupported special advanced use case that doesn't apply to you

#

use self-starting

Thanks, I'll look into that, never tried that before. Self-starting means a copy of comfy within swarm?

#

it just means swarm boots and configures comfy for you instead of you launching it

#

which is how swarm enables its own nodes, applies swarm's model dirs, manages input/output files, etc.

#

can use an existing install with it as long as the install isn't particularly broken (which is quite common with people who insist on doing things their own way, so, lol)

#

default swarm install will include a clean copy of comfy that it'll configure as self-starting
