I’ve released v1.17 with a hotfix for the node group errors.

The Blender API for creating node group sockets was changed and now only allows 4 types of sockets to be created (vector, shader, float, color). All other socket types were leading to errors.

Note that while this fix should make Node Preview usable again in 99% of cases, there might still be some edge cases where a node group uses an exotic socket type that is now unsupported and can’t be emulated with the 4 basic types that we are now limited to. The only example I currently know of are string sockets, like on the principled volume node, but there might be more. In such a case, the preview thumbnail for the node group might not match the rendered result.

Please contact me about any issues you find in the addon.

Best,

Simon
