Error with VF from CCAP OV

Post by dcpman1 »

Hi,

I made an OV DCP with closed captions, and then I tried to create a VF with open captions, but when I opened the VF in DCP-o-matic player and tried to add the OV, it did not work, and the player remained saying "Needs OV." I also tried to load the OV and VF in easyDCP, and I received an error message. I made VFs before from an OV DCP in DCP-o-matic, but the OV did not have closed captions in that case.

Did I do something wrong? I tried checking the "burn captions into video" box as well as trying it with that box unchecked, and I had the same issue both times. I tried troubleshooting with Claude, and Claude said the VF's CPL references different asset UUIDs than what's in the OV.

Not helpful, but why did you create an OV with Closed Captions in the first place?

Maybe you could post the XML files from your OV and VF DCPs, or send them to carl@dcpomatic.com ?
