Good evening, and a warm welcome to the new DCP-o-matic website. I hope you like it! Please get in touch if you find any problems.
13th May 2021
Hello everybody!
I hope this finds you well. I am happy to announce that we're finally on the way to
a new, stable, 2.16.0 release of DCP-o-matic!
The first part of this is 2.15.149, also known as DCP-o-matic 2.16.0 alpha 1, which you
can download now from the website.
Highlights of 2.16.0 include:
- A "Disk Writer" tool to write ext2 drives from Windows and macOS (see note below!)
- CPL metadata and markers support.
- Much improved DCP verification in the player.
- Compliance to most of the new SMPTE DCP Bv2.1 Application Profile.
- Native support for Apple Silicon.
- And a long list of other tweaks and improvements that you can read about here.
It would really help the project if you could:
Test: make DCPs, export DCPs, write disks, add strange content, make complicated
playlists... Report any bugs / strange happenings to either:
Translate: if you are interested in helping to translate DCP-o-matic to a language
other than English, consult the website and get in touch
to make sure work isn't being duplicated!
The plan from here is to release as many alphas and betas as are needed until bug
reports die down, then roll 2.16.0.
Testing of the "Disk Writer" tool is especially appreciated. I don't feel like it
has had sufficient widespread testing for me to be confident in releasing it. If it works
for you (or if it doesn't) please do email me.
If the level of testing stays low I might need to take it out of the 2.16.0 release and
think about what to do next.
All the best!
Carl

Further to my previous message about old macOS versions, it seems like it might also be useful to drop support for 10.9 (Mavericks), so that the earliest supported macOS version would be Yosemite (10.10). Do let me know if that would cause you problems.

The test version of DCP-o-matic now has support for the M1 (ARM/Apple Silicon) processors found in new Macbooks and Mac Minis. I'd be very grateful to hear about how you get on if you try it!

Season's greetings to all!
It's that time of year again when I try to work out if anybody is using DCP-o-matic on a macOS version earlier than the 2013 release of Mavericks (10.9).
If you use DCP-o-matic on Mountain Lion, Lion or Snow Leopard (10.8, 10.7 or 10.6) can you drop me a line?
If nobody needs it I may take the opportunity of the forthcoming 2.16.0 release to drop support for anything earlier than 10.9.

Also default to the home directory rather than where DoM was run from,
or something equally unhelpful.

Otherwise, for example, some content can be moved and before
the pieces have been re-created some video can arrive. Then the
video's position will be calculated using the content's new position,
causing an apparently big gap in the video which is filled in with
black. These extra black frames cause the video buffers to fill up
without any audio.
