Multireel Auto-created Interop Subtitles

Post by Jaume(Dolby) »

Hi Carl,

In a *INTEROP* DCP with subtitles and multi reels,
if one reel has no subtitles, DOM creates a "blank" (no lines) XML.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DCSubtitle Version="1.0">
<SubtitleID>5076d648-5913-4260-9cd2-1f4ff9d1ba42</SubtitleID>
<MovieTitle>SilentLand</MovieTitle>
<ReelNumber>1</ReelNumber>
<Language>ca</Language>
<LoadFont Id="0_0_Arial" URI="font_05.ttf"/>
</DCSubtitle>

I found that aEasyDCP (old version 3.01) says a validation complain, as

Code 60003 from Sun Jan 15 10:30:52 2023:
XML format is not valid
Validating against schema "http://www.digicine.com/CINE-CANVAS-2007-09-02#":
(l. 2) Element '{http://www.digicine.com/CINE-CANVAS-200 ... DCSubtitle': Missing child element(s). Expected is one of ( {http://www.digicine.com/CINE-CANVAS-200 ... #}Subtitle, {http://www.digicine.com/CINE-CANVAS-2007-09-02#}Font ).

****I cannot test with current EasyDCP because my monthly subscription has finished

IMHO it is only a warning that can safety ignored, as any server accepts a "blank" Interop subs.....
But I can be a complain again from Deluxe/Ymagis/Eclair distribution..-:(

QubemasterPro 3.0.15 (Last ) also Crashes when try open this XML... (Yes, can be also a bug from Qubemaster-:)

I Try insert a line with blank space line, or <BR>, but DOM erases this line at creation...

Best Regards,
Jaume
