Summary0002711: More debugging information with errors generated from Verify DCP
Description

The Verify DCP feature in the DCP Player is fantastic. It picks up Closed Caption (CC) issues that Easy DCP does not, and still catches the other errors that it does.

The only problem is that once a CC issue is flagged there is no note as to where the issue is on the CC XML file. When you receive a SMPTE Bv2.1 error such as "There are more than 32 characters in at least one closed caption line." or a Warnings such as "At least one subtitle lasts less than 15 frames" it is very time consuming to then go back and debug your CC file and then re-output. Especially if the DCP Player then gives the same error again.

I have had a few projects where the DCP verification window was flagging false issues, but as it did not denote where the issue was in the file, it is not possible to create a bug report that would be useful.

So the solution / feature request could be to list to either list the first CC line XML in full the causes the error. It doesn't need to show every line that triggers the error / waring, just the first one that it flags. This would save a lot of CC debugging time.

Such a great product - thanks so much everyone!
Marcus.
