chunkGet returns “None”

I’ve been trying to create a python script to extend muster and do some things in the chunk view…

I was starting to play around by using the basic example provided in the documentation:

import MConsoleAPI
err , chunk = MConsoleAPI.chunkGet(1,1) # Get the first chunk of job ID 1
if (err.getErrorCode() != 0): sys.exit(err.getDescription())
print (“Job first chunk starts at frame : ” + str(chunk.getStartFrame()))

It doesn’t work because chunkGet always returns None for the chunk no matter what the jobId and ChunkId is set to.

This example also fails for the same reason:

import MConsoleAPI
err, jobId, list = MConsoleAPI.getChunksViewSelection()
if (err.getErrorCode() != 0): sys.exit(err.getDescription())
for chunkId in list:
err, chunk = MConsoleAPI.chunkGet(jobId,chunkId)
if (err.getErrorCode() ==0): print(“Selected chunk frame: ” + chunk.getStartFrame())

I am 100% positive there is a valid jobId and chunkId either specified or selected. This seems so basic that I’m sure i’m doing something wrong, but I can’t figure it out. I can work with all the other functions with no issues.
