We are starting to use the DCP suite and are wanting to create a macOS Deployment that also deploys specific settings that should be common among our staff. I am wondering if there is a Custom Schema Json or a reference guide to deploying settings.
Specifically I am looking for the plist keys for the following settings.
Allow Full-frame and non-standard Container Ratios in the Non-Standard pane.
Set the Protocol to SCP (foraam and Doremi) on the TMS pane.
As well as fill teh IP addresss, and User name and password
Settings for the Dfault Audio, Teritory, Facility, and studio.
I have checked in /Library/Preferences/and in ~/Library/Preferences/com.dcpomatic and the ~/Library/Preferences/com.dcpomatic.plist but I am not seeing anything that matches with the settings above.
Any help would be appreciated.
Jason

Re: Creating A MDM Deployable preference file for DCP tools
The preferences are in an XML file ~/Library/Preferences/com.dcpomatic/2/2.18/config.xml
If you can deploy that, you should be able to set the preferences you want. You could copy a config from a machine where DCP-o-matic is already installed.
The config preferences should all be documented here.
