I found one minor issue:

The source file has no audio, so I deselected "Audio language". By that, the job's warning window claims that some content has audio and I should use the proper language.
By that the Cover Sheet of this XX-XX DCP (I'd love to have more details like Leq(m) and LUFS written in it, but does anyone ever read it?) says, the DCP has 0 MB in size instead of 5,54 GB. The DCP behaves as fine as expected when doing software checks.

Leaving the checkbox for audio language on, there is no error message and the Cover Sheet shows the file size as expected.
Creating a "normal" DCP with audio content, there is also no warning regarding the language and the file size is calculated correctly.

Many greetings
Philipp

What type of source file is this? Does DCP-o-matic show an "audio" tab under the content list when you select it?

[phili2p]

All the files are ProRes HQ 422.
Yes, the audio tab is visible and automatically treats the file as 2 channel. When deselecting the L R toggles, the warning is gone.
The video files has an empty audio layer. No crackling or other noise could be detected by davinci resolve. DoM also measures -inf dB at LUFS and LEQ(m).

[carl]

I see. It would be good if it didn't warn about the language with silent audio (I made a bug report).

Is this a VF containing only subtitles?

[phili2p]

Thanks for the bug report.
In my case, it was a regular DCP but video only during the welcome drinks at a customer's event.

[carl]

Do you still have the DCP?

[phili2p]

Yes, I do have the whole project and it would be okay to send you the whole project folder if you want to.

[carl]

That would be great, thanks!

[phili2p]

I sent you the files.
Thanks a lot!
