It thinks the DCP is invalid because it mixes use of the two popular standards (Interop and SMPTE). Can you send the XML files from the DCP to me? carl@dcpomatic.com

updating to the latest version seemed to resolve it.

Looks pretty simple. But it is possible that MXF files that had been part of an interop DCP have been reused (passthrough) in a SMPTE DCP. This COULD cause an error like this. Could also bee that e.g. video is SMPTE, and audio Interop, or vice versa. Or both Interop, but the wrapping SMPTE.

Player has no other means to complain - in DCP-o-matic main, these mismatches would be conformed into the chosen standard when creating a new DCP from these files.


If you mean 'updating just the DCP-o-matic player' solved it, then of course, it could also be a small bug in the old player version you used before.
