Naming problem when using 8 audio channels

[matthias.damm]

A small problem I encountered with the latest beta (2.17.9):

Recent versions issue a warning when you use a 6 channel audio setup - I therefore changed my default to 8 channels (even if I usually use only 6 channel sound).

When I create a VF to this kind of OV and use the automatic naming, "HI-VI" is added to the name - even if channels 7 and 8 are empty.
This does not happen for the OV, so I suppose it's a glitch and should not happen?!

Sounds like a bug indeed. I added a note in the tracker.

Yeah it's great carl because I'm facing same issue.

Thanks.

I guess HI/VI-N should only turn up in the Auto-ISDCF name and metadata fields when these channels are assigned in the audio matrix.


Aside from that - the warning is no reason to not use a 6ch configuration. This warning is only targeted towards potential workflow issues with external service companies when your DCP is being worked on there for added value. 6ch DCPs play on all servers and in all TMS environments. E.g. 'Oppenheimer' was all 6ch, trailers as well as main feature.

It's good to know that you've added a note in the tracker. Looking forward to a fix for this glitch.
