Remote VAE feedback

[Qurtison]

Did you like the remote VAE solution?

Absolutely, it is amazing for us AMD users. Until they figure out whatever bug is causing super long vae decode/encodes with AMD cards.. This solution is perfect. Who knows if its even a bug, its been happening for quite a while now unfortunately.

What can be improved about the current solution?

An official comfyui node would be cool to see, so it can be instantly updated for new vaes in the future (hopefully)

What other VAEs you would like to see if the pilot goes well?

WAN would be awesome, videos are all the rage now and currently I have to used tiled vae or its impossible to do WAN videos with my AMD.

We have kept the development of RemoteVAEs to a pause for now but it will be revisited.

It could simply because of the sheer complexities involved. Did it start happening after a particular diffusers version or something? If so, I welcome you to create a separate thread for it.
