How can I create a VF for my encrypted OV ?

[dcpo3409]

Hello everyone, by following the documentation I can easily create a DCP VF from an unencrypted DCP OV.

However, how can I create a DCP VF from an encrypted DCP OV ? It seems that to create a VF, you must import an OV into the project, but when I import it, it's displayed in red and creating the DCP VF generates the error message "A problem occured when looking for hints (Programming error at ../src/lib/player.cc:807)". It seems normal that I can't create a VF if I'm not the creator of the encrypted open-source DCP. But how do that if I'm the creator ?

I suppose that to create the VF I have to start from the project from which I created the DCP OV, but in it, the "Tools/Version file (French version)..." menu is inactive...

What did I not find/understand ?

Which version of DCP-o-matic are you using? When you make the DCP it should stop and tell you that your content needs a KDM - this player.cc error is strange.

You need to right-click on the red OV DCP in the list and choose "Add KDM..." then give a KDM for your OV DCP made for DCP-o-matic. Then it should let you carry on.

Thanks Carl, I use Version 2.18.35. It works fine now : I didn't think there might be a context menu on the added files/DCPs... Sorry for that (event if I'm not sure if it's mentioned in the manual). Thanks a lot.

No problem. Can you reproduce the player.cc error reliably? I would like to debug it, if so ...

This error occurred consistently when I tried to create a DCP from an existing encrypted DCP without adding the KDM (the encrypted DCP was displayed in red). It seemed logical to me that an error message would appear. Obviously, the following message would have been more helpful: "The added DCP requires a KDM: right-click to add the KDM." It's also possible that the PC I'm using isn't very stable: Windows 7 Pro Service Pack 1, on which I often encounter library-related errors. So don't investigate too much
