DCP keeps looping in movie theater

Post by dcpuser »

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there is a way to manually set the amount of times a DCP is supposed to play.

I've been testing to create a DCP package and so far everything seems to work great. The playback on my computer is okay, but whenever I send it to the movie theater, the DCP package starts playing a second time after it ended.

I was wondering if there is a way to edit the XML-files to make it stop after the first play or if it's something the movie theater should resolve (a playlist or something).

Thanks!
Carsten

Better leave you hands away from the XML files, most likely the DCP will not play at all then.

How long is that DCP? It certainly is possible that cinema staff screws it up by e.g. inserting it two times into a playlist.

Did you test this DCP in DCP-o-matic player?
