Same reel UUID not detected in SMPTE DCPs

Open pm974 opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

Hi, here at Cobalt Films (Belgium) we check all our DCPs with your script and thank's to you have a lot less problem with it ! So first of all thanks for that !

The problem I encountered was in a SMPTE DCP where all the CPLs had the same "reel" uuid. The server would recognise all the CPL but would play only one of the three available version (with english subtitles).

It seem that some servers (I still don't have the info about the server brand nor type) manage the CPLs by reel uuid and get confused if they are the same.

---> dcp_inspect should then verify that all reel UUID are different or report an error.

Thank you again for this great script !

One-reel CPL's? With one specific UUID for Reel:Id used in all of them?

Multi-reel CPL's? With one specific set of UUIDs for Reel:Id's? Same set used in all CPL's?
