Summary0002756: Stop used video directory and hard-linking
Description

Instead, store previously created video MXF UUIDs and settings in the metadata.xml so that we can find old video files by indirecting through there, rather than just going directly with the video MXF filename.

Advantages would be:

  • removal of confusion e.g. "why is my project folder so big"
  • removal of a confusing directory in the project folder
  • possibly nicer code as it would remove the mangling of settings into hashes into filename
  • one big step towards allowing DCPs to be created anywhere

Removing the mangling of settings into filenames seems awkward; I tried to do it with XML by separating out the bits of Film state that are relevant for video; that was OK but then doing the same for the playlist seems more inelegant.

There's still the info files, which are used to check existing video files to see if their hashes are as expected. Not 100% convinced this is necessary - maybe it only really solves the problem of a truncated video file (and maybe there's a nicer way to solve that).
