Player tool good but needs more work.

I was happy to see the Player tool in DCP-O-matic.
dcpPlayer has been withdrawn from the market. Its simply not worth the trouble for me anymore. It does have far better features and can play 3D content, adjustable lookup table etc. But any further development is not worth the return. It has not been for a long time.
So I am pointing my website at DCP-o-matic as an alternative. Tho it still needs some work.
So I would encourage extra time be set aside to improve the player tool.
Recommend you even try contacting kakadu software and see if you can embed the decoder. Its the magic that makes it work so well. Plus the directX real time XYZ-RGB. Thats never easy. I am quite impressed it DCP-O-Matic player works as well as it does. On Linux anyway. not great on windows/mac. Frame judder. Linux is good.
Tho I have been doing some long playback tests and it crashes after a while with an issue with the audio based on the error I saw.
Thanks,
James
