Network Render and transparent Film not working

Hi all,

i encountered a problem when using Networkrendering in combination with transparent film. When rendering the scene directly from Blender everything works fine. But when exporting the scene and rendering with Networkrender the Background is gray.
I'm using Bidir Renderengine. Do I miss something or is it a Bug?

I did it like that in BlendLuxCore because luxcoreui doesn't display the alpha channel. Network rendering came later and I didn't change the behaviour.

You can workaround it by enabling the "Alpha" AOV in the renderlayer settings and use the result in compositing after the network render is done.

Thank you for your answer B.Y.O.B. This workaround is fine for me.
